    This computer is a great addition to my collection. It fits my needs as a email and communications laptop on the go. Took it with us on vacation and was awesome at what it does. The first thing I did was upgrade the memory to 40GB, which was very easily done. I'm an Intel guy, so this was absolutely a no brainer buy at the price point. If you are doing basic laptop functions, this is it!

    Excellent value for the price. Extremely spacious and well lit. The ice maker is very efficient. There is a noticeable amount of heat. So make sure to have sufficient ventilation around the back. Very easy to link to LG phone apps. Best buy delivery was very thorough and efficient, and very respectfully of my home.

    Excellent speed--a noticeable improvement over my previous i3 processor. I use it for running multiple stock trading platforms as well as streaming video simultaneously. It handles all very well with no lag. Touch screen is very responsive although not a feature I use often. Battery life is about 3 hours when running multiple applications including video streaming.
