12.5" @ $639

I bought the 12.5" from Newstar's Qoo10 shop @ $639 when they had the $100 + $10 coupons. Very good value for mobility. If this can last 1.5 years, I will be happy :)

Very short review (imho):
- Superb screen
- Very light weight
- Very sturdy metal body
- Keyboard is very good & backlit. I prefer my old macbook air but it was not backlit.
- Dual speakers in the slim frame & they are good for the size; don't expect bass booming loud though.
- Ports: USB-C, USB 3.0, HDMI. Good for me as I use two USB ports.
- Trackpad is good. I prefer old macbook air trackpad & generally macs set the standard for trackpads.
- RAM is 4GB & not expandable. If I were to pick a bummer - this will be it. However, 4GB is fine for my general use. No slow down noticed so far.
- SSD is 128GB, good enough for me as I use NAS & cloud storage. There is a second slot for expandable SSD.
- M3 CPU. No slow down noticed so far.
- I don't game so I can't comment for that.

Summary:
- I love it. Price is very value. However, imho, Macs are still the king of trackpads.
- If I game, the 13.3" looks decent with the geforce940MX.

got one issue last weekend, The system can not be reset, show the message: There was a problem resetting your PC, tried all methods from the internet.
Is it due to Creator update or win10 Pro upgrade? just notice that there are two recovery partitions now instead of one in the past. and my tested SSR backup is not working too.
Any advice from your guys?
