    I bought this laptop to use with my TV. Unfortunately it's way too slow for that purpose, perhaps I was expecting it to at least keep up with it's own video maximum resolution (don't recall what it was) without it constantly buffering. Maybe it's useful for other tasks.

    I brought this just to do some word processing and internet surfing. It worked great for the 1st 3 weeks and then I started having problems. It said I was running out of memory and needed to make space so I removed a bunch of programs and apps I would never use (Candy Crush, etc...) then it started taking forever to boot up. Now it won't boot up at all. It might as well be a doorstop. Needless to say I will be returning it tomorrow.
