    The only thing I really disliked about this laptop is that it does not come with a CD or dvd ROM drive installed so you're forced to get an external. Other than that it's a fantastic laptop it games very well and handles multiple tasks with no problem or like

    Entry level drive, manage your expectations.

    First off, this is an entry level drive, so if you're looking for Blu-ray or fast write times, look elsewhere. I bought it to add software to my desktop, as manufacturers just aren't building disk drives into desktops as standard issue anymore. It is light plastic; not sure it would survive a drop from distance. With the expectation of a basic drive it performs fairly well. Biggest "con" is that the cord that comes out of the box is extremely short.
