    This laptop is a steal if you can get it on sale. The AMD versions are more energy efficient than most laptops in this price range. Might have low storage, but just get a ssd.

    I like this product, but I need some things taken off of it. I need AVG taken off, and McAfee keeps trying to down load and will not stop. I need help with those two things.

    I have had this product for only 1.5 years. I had to replace the battery last summer and it needs to be replaced. Don't buy this or you will spend $100 every 6-9 months on battery replacement.

    It's no good. The battery won't charge when it's plugged in, and I've only owned this thing for four hours so far. I've gone thru diagnostics and the battery is listed as healthy. It just won't charge. Returning it and buying a different brand. How can a basic function like charging not work?
