The display is decent. It’s better than low end Chromebooks for sure. There is some backlight leakage around the edges, but it’s only noticeable when the background is entirely black (rare for me - even running an editor with a dark theme, there’s window chrome that hides the leakage). Mine has no dead pixels and no other issues that I’ve noticed. My only complaint is that it’s not as bright as my middle-aged eyes would like, but it’s still quite usable.
The achilles heel of this laptop is really the touchpad. They’ve already released one firmware update to address issues and there will be more. I’m optimistic that they’ll dial it in over time.
TL;DR: A good laptop, especially at this price point, provided you’re willing to tinker with it. Build quality is significantly better than anything else you’d find at this price (and likely even at +$100).
