There were several reasons why I bought this laptop. Firstly, as I am a student so I deadly needed it because it assists me to prepare assignments and is also helpful in other academic purposes.
Secondly, due to portability like I can take my laptop anywhere outside of my house, I can also take it with me anywhere inside of my house. Thirdly,
I was fascinated by laptops along with their extraordinary features.
