just my 2 cents after owning one for quite some time now. Avoid.

Right after the warranty ended the screen has constant flickering and will sometimes turn to straight up static for 5 minutes at a time. moving the laptop hinge doesnt affect this at all which leads me to believe its a motherboard issue rather than a screen or ribbon cable issue. Besides that, the build quality is actually pretty terrible for what one of these costs and the hinge is flimsy and wobbles around when you move the laptop.

Flickering in an LCD is usually caused by a bad inverter, which is an inexpensive part ($20 range) you can generally replace yourself.
