the fan is loud as hell

Normally considered a good machine, but we were unlucky this time.

It has enough power to run virtual machines alongside regular applications. It also has a decent size screen that allows you to work on a couple of windows side by side.

The shiny plastics and painted surfaces pick up fingerprints very easily!
