Great value!
First of all, I am a Mac person. I don't know that much about PCs. The reason for buying this particular model was money. I would have had to pay $1700 for a comparable laptop from Apple. I could not see spending all that money for a computer that was to be mainly used for word processing and web browsing. While made of plastic, this laptop has a solid feel to it. When opened, it doesn't seem like it will split into two pieces or that the screen is flexing. The keyboard is not flimsy and it should be able to take a lot of use. (I've only had the computer for a couple of weeks.) This model comes with Windows 7 and so far I like it. Very easy to set up. Connecting to my network was a breeze. Installing a couple of programs was also easy. Updates are simple. I have had limited experience with Vista and did not care for it. Windows 7 is a much better, user friendly, operating system. As I said previously, I have had this laptop for a short period of time, but so far I have no complaints and no regrets. A lot of computer for a little bit of money.
The computer is good
Now I said the computer is good, however, dealing with the home company is not. No matter what you say or who you talk to you get the telephone suffle and parroted apology for the wait, usually 2 hours. I suggest you shop elsewhere where you can get help.
Good Machine overall
Overall this is a good machine with some feature issues.
Long Battery life
It is fast
Display is great
very strudy for the daily life with kids around
Windows 7 runs great
Never had machine related issues
Battery never gets hot even after using for more than one hour like other laptops
But there is one annoying thing in this computer... Keyboard and Mouse pad.
Keyboard is very hard to type because I need to press exactly in the middle. If I press at corners, it does not register. and I make too many typing mistakes.
Mouse pad is not sensitive enough to make it a good experience. Most times, it does not register the tocch/drag.
But this machine is overall a good machine for the price I gave.
