Combined with the integrated backlighting, it's very useful for users who often use laptops in low-light conditions. However, because the keyboard is a full-size type with a numeric keypad occupying about 20% of the area, the letter keys are shifted to one side, which may be inconvenient for some users.

According to reviewer Tim Schofield, although the touchpad is not very large, it still provides a comfortable experience with fairly fast responsiveness, allowing smooth swiping, tapping, and navigation without any hindrance. However, like the keyboard, the touchpad of the laptop is also shifted to the left, which may be inconvenient and time-consuming for users accustomed to using laptops with a centrally located touchpad.
