    OK for 4k video editing, but a little disappointed about the battery.

    I was very happy with the PC for my 4K video editing, but a little disappointed with the battery capacity, which only lasted 2 hours.
    I had a few problems booting disks from the USB3 port. The explorer took a long time to display the hard disks (HD and SSD) even though the disks were displayed as operational on the icon at the bottom right of the screen.
    After several restarts, Explorer finally displayed the contents of the disks.
    Very pleasant 4k video editing, but less than 2 hours of battery life.
    The PC heats up a bit, but the fans are fairly quiet and don't work much. Rather pleasantly surprised on this point.
    Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase.
    The installation of a 2TB hard drive on the second port caused a few problems for the LDLC staff, as a priori there was no holding device for the memory in the second slot for the M2 card. A rough installation which I hope will not cause any problems in the long term.

    Not happy with the keyboard (Azerty)

    We ordered a computer from a Swiss site, paid in Swiss francs and expected to receive a PC with a Swiss QWERTY keyboard, which was not the case.
    Would you have a solution for this problem and thus change our score from 3 to 5?
    We look forward to finding a solution.
