Great laptop for a 10 year old girl who loves it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop appears to be workable for a young person to do more things they like compared to only having access to a iPad.

it is awesome.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it for myself and it has been a very good purchase. It is easy to set up and gets going and runs at a good speed for the price. May have to increase the Memory but still a good value.

Gets It Done!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this computer because I wanted an inexpensive laptop for my weekend backpack and this one offered the most bang for the buck (I got it on sale). The Pros: An Intel i3 processor in a sub-$300 laptop which still has a DVD drive. I have yet to see a better deal in budget laptops. Bloatware and trial software is minimal compared to other major brands. The Cons: The plastics feel cheap (as do the casings of all budget laptops) and the hard drive is noisy. The specs say Windows 8.1,but mine has Windows 8 installed and I had to upgrade. The 4GB of RAM is embedded on the motherboard and does not include an expansion slot (I looked). What would make it better: One or two more USB ports and Bluetooth. Other thoughts: Battery life for me is about four hours. There are no access panels on the bottom and the battery cannot be removed without taking the laptop apart.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot give a good review of this product because I only had it for 4 days before a software problem. I know these kind of problems can show up but not when the laptop has only been used about 15 hours

Great laptop for a self installed Chip Driver.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed my own Chip Driver and Driver Support with the unfortunate experience of recovery erasing my downloaded portions but not installed files. The icons disappeared.

decent computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the computer performs well. my only draw back is the screen is a bit whimsy. it shakes very easy. Also I don't like that the usb connection is on the left hand side and is not on the right side.

Very Touchy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very Touchy, jumps around when you are working on things, not sure if it is the Windows 8 or the laptop. Still working out the kinks. Not bad laptop for the price, is very light weight

Probably a good computer, just had defects.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This seemed to be a great computer for the price. It didn't have a lot of bells and whistles, which one expects for a lower end unit. I had issues with getting Windows updates, and there was no response on the volume control. I decided to return it to the store and purchase a different brand. Returning was an easy no hassle transaction, and Best Buy wants to keep customers satisfied.
