> 3 dayBought this originally for drawing - Its okay. You cant get straight lines, would not use professionally. But Im not a professional artist.

> 3 dayGreat laptop overall. The ezel hinge is absolutely wonderful. I wish it was 4K like the ezel 7, but at 14 screen size, full HD is more than sufficient. The only complaint I have is the in-built pen, and more accurately the pen technology being AES. Because of this technology, the pen isnt what it should be on a laptop aimed at artists, architects, and the like. It jitters if drawn slow, or even relatively moderate speed, but of course, it straightens out the faster you draw across the screen. As for the hand holding experience of the pen, since it is so tiny and slim, it can be uncomfortable if used for extended periods. Buying another pen such as the Lenovo Active Pen 2, Bamboo Ink II, or even the surface pen will give a more comfortable hand holding experience. However, this wont mitigate the line jitter, since thats an issue that cant be solved by the pen alone. Still, overall great laptop, but, if you are absolutely serious about artwork at a professional level and need those straight lines at all levels, get the concept 7 over the concept 3. However, for anyone else, artists whose arent doing it professionally, or even students, the conceptD 3 is excellent.

> 3 dayI LOVED this laptop and got it for a great price! Im SO BUMMED that I have to return it. As others have stated, I get fairly frequent random graphics card detection issues and system crashes (BSOD). I STILL wanted to keep it anyway but I never know when itll just randomly crash as Im working on it. Its too bad. Sending it back.

Greater than one weekMy unit had the same issue that a couple other reviewers had- about 50% of the time the computer cannot detect the NVIDIA GPU and I frequently get BSoD with errors like video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error and driver_power_state_failure. I spent a couple days trouble shooting, I wiped and reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers multiple times and even factory reset the computer, reinstalled windows and everything. I get the blue screen multiple times a day with regular use (particularly when using photoshop as it often cannot use the dedicated graphics).

> 3 dayHis computer is absolutely exquisite, by the air supply makes it overheat extremely fast and throws off., Everything else it can do it does not last very long when its running on a big screen it does not last very long at all, I love the machine and it set up but it has no major power supply unless its plugged in entirely and then it shuts off for no reason

> 3 dayI bought this laptop with high hopes from the reviews. I work in digital design and wanted to buy outside of apple. This brand new laptop has so many issues. The fingerprint scanner doesnt work, the video card is defective. My laptop shuts down several times a day. This is extremely inconvenient for my work and makes simple tasks long and difficult. I cant even connect to an external monitor for longer than fifteen minutes. Upon contacting the seller I was informed that although I have a warranty, I could not get a refund or new laptop. I would have to wait at least 20 days for them to try and repair the laptop. They were unfriendly and unwilling to work with me although I explained I need a laptop for my livelihood. I would not recommend buying this. Please look elsewhere for your design needs.
