DO NOT BUY, CHEAP BUT WILL NOT WORK
It has been about a year that I have had this product. It charges fairly quickly and battery life is good. The print is very small, very challenging to the eyes.The bottom of the laptop is coming off for a long time, kind of split. I keep pressing it together and does not succeed. It is kind of split, but has been working fine. It is made of some flimsy material, not stuck properly.the screws came out ages ago within 2 months, lost most of the screws that were holding the 2 pieces together with the 4 rubber material on the bottom to helped to stand the laptop without the metal bit touching the table it is on.. That has not worried me as long as it works.I had received a charger that had 3 pin plug, but after 10 months of use, it is 2 pin as one pin is broken. I have been able to still charge the laptop on one of the sockets in upstairs bedroom, near the wardrobe but cannot have a table to work at, so rather inconvenient to charge when working.I am now finding that I do need a replacement as I cannot charge it in hotels or trains or anywhere in the office.Also none of the USB sticks ever worked, so to transfer files from my main computer to laptop or vice versa, I have had to email myself the files, and can get very tedious.Right now the charger is an issue, as I cannot find one to purchase. I am looking for a a replacement. By writing a review, I am hoping Xidu will get back to me about the replacement charger. Either they can sell it to me or let me know what type I need.For the price I paid, it is adequate, but would have also liked better print. Yes, some keyboard like " and @and £ is different to what you expect to be, but one gets used to it, this is not a big issue either.The print could have been larger and a getting a replacement charger is a big issue,the later has stopped me using it until I get home to charge it again.Images will be added later on, when transferred from mobile. The laptop stopped working last Wednesday, 20th November for no reason at all. Cannot be switched on.

Powerful for the price
I was looking for a Windows laptop weighing around 1.5 kgs to use as I travel. I wanted a light and study device with a decent battery so it could last an entire day. With a super a low budget my expectations weren't high...just something sturdy and lightweight for basic tasks. I was surprised when this arrived. This laptop has reasonable specs for the price and a battery of about 7 hours so far, which is perfect. The laptop is a good size for a bag but I worry without a decent case the laptop might become easily damaged due to its plastic construction. The plastic does make the laptop super light, however.The screen is decent though the onboard storage is very limited you can easily add an SD card to use for basic memory storage.The backlit keyboard is perfect and allows me to easily see the keys in the dark - perfect for late night typing!The battery charges pretty quickly! Recently had a laptop with a battery life of 7 hours take took about 5 to charge to full! So it's nice to have a battery that can charge to full in around an hour or so.All in all, this laptop is a decent choice at a good price. It's not the very best out there, due to the plastic, but at its price, it's enough for someone who doesn't need high powered programs or lots of storage.Hope this helps.Update: Charger broke after 5 uses. I spoke to customer service who told me they had none in stock and said I'd need to buy myself a replacement. I've lowered my rating due to this.

Excellent product - backed up by A1 customer service!
I don’t normally write reviews for products - but I felt compelled this time, after receiving this product from Amazon. This is in fact the third laptop that I have purchased from the manufacturer/seller XIDU. The first was a 10 inch touch screen tablet laptop, for my daughter,that I took a long time deciding upon after reading reviews and considering the purchase carefully.The product was excellent, and only topped by an extremely attentive and responsive customer service. I had a small problem with the license key which the staff at XIDU, whom I dealt with directly, couldn’t do enough to sort out for me, and kept in contact until I was absolutely satisfied.When it came to purchasing another laptop a few months later, I purchased exactly the same model for my other daughter, because we were so pleased with the product. Again top marks to XIDU who also sent us a free mouse with the purchase.So, when it came to purchasing another laptop - this time for Dad - it seemed sensible to consider what XIDU had to offer. I wanted a more traditional laptop that used the far superior Windows operating system, but was ultra portable and had a great battery life. I also wanted to have a larger screen to help with my ever failing eyesight! Another consideration was of course value for money, when comparing devices with similar specifications.The best device for the job that XIDU had to offer seemed to be the 12.5 inch Windows 10 laptop. Certainly comparing it with other models at a similar specifications the price was spot on. Therefore, because I had great confidence in the customer service offered by XIDU and with the specification and price that seemed ideal, I purchased my third laptop from this company.As usual the delivery from Amazon was superb, and I received the device the day after ordering it. It didn’t take me long to set up the laptop and login to my wireless network. Initial impressions were really good with a superbly slim form-factor and an extremely light weight. The battery life as well seem very good - giving well over 6 hours of continuous operation. This was all backed up by the excellent windows operating system that uses Cortana voice control. The laptop has a back-lit illuminated keyboard which really impressed my daughters and means it can be operated more easily in the dark! The keyboard is very easy to use, with good response from the keys. The screen is large, very clear and bright. One particular feature I like is the mouse. For me mouses are over sensitive and suffer from incorrect placement, this one is excellent - meaning that I have not yet accidently operated it unintentionally, with my fat hands! The laptop seems to have all the connections you would ever need, including HDMI and the option to add additional storage via a SD card.The best thing though is the portability - this thing is seriously light and thin - similar to those massively expensive products from perhaps more well known manufacturers, who have experience less than good customer service from.In conclusion, I would recommend this product to anyone that wants a great product at a great price, backed up by personal, attentive customer service.
