Good laptop, keyboard hard to see
Good laptop, keyboard hard to see

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5This is a solid laptop. The build is nice, it's fairly light, and looks pretty sleek overall. I've had no issues browsing, streaming videos, running any programs, or multitasking on this computer so far! However, I will have to second what another reviewer said: the keyboard on this thing is remarkably difficult to see. If you're in anything but absolutely perfect lighting, you won't be able to see the letters or symbols on the keys, and it's not backlit. This shouldn't be a big problem if you're familiar with your keyboard and know how to type without looking, but I will say it is aggravating nonetheless. Another thing I will add is that it's hard to see the screen from any angle except straight on; I have to adjust it to just the perfect angle every time I shift or move. This also isn't a big deal but it's another thing that's just a bit aggravating. I paid $500 for this thing on a Black Friday sale and I don't know if I'd pay more than that for this machine, but for that price range it performs very well. Despite the small imperfections in design that I mentioned, I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm still glad I chose this computer over others in the $500 range.

Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use2 out of 5Nice laptop for the price (got mine on sale for $550) but with the Transparent Silver color it is very hard for me to see the letters, number, symbols on the keyboard keys. Unless the lighting and your viewing angle is perfect the keys look like a glare of silver. This laptop comes in other colors but unfortunately only the Transparent Silver color was on sale (probably the reason it was on Sale)! I would recommend a Laptop color that has a Black keyboard with white lettering.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Picked it up for $500 and I would highly recommend. As other reviews have stated, the keyboard can be hard to see, but if you’re familiar with the keyboard it’s a nonissue. The performance is great for the money, I have no problems having any amount of programs open.

Quality3 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I love the specs. It's pretty fast and I'm mostly using it for writing papers. However, the battery sucks. It lasts less than 3 hours and takes about the same amount of time for it to be fully charged. This is so annoying!!
