    Very happy with this laptop. It has a Core i3 processor instead of the Pentium or Celeron processors usually found in this price range.

    A little slower than I'd like it to be but it does the job. I use it with a projector and the video is great. The sound on it is great.

    Got what we wanted: large screen, enough speed, nice real keyboard, and great sale price at Best Buy. Not a lot of storage but adequate.

    Good specs for the price but seems to run a little slow. The touchpad takes some getting used to.

    Needed a new laptop. Saw this advertised and compared it to other more expensive products This one seemed to be as good as the others plus it had a dvd port. This should work well for my needs since I really only use it for the internet and social media, plus some Word documents.

    Our old laptop died suddenly and we needed a new one to take on vacation. This works like a charm and we were able to download all of our pictures from our camera every night.

    Somewhat difficult to setup and add more RAM. Battery doesn't last very long but the computer works well after you get all that done.

    This was a hasty purchase, due to my wife's laptop dying tragically just before the end of nursing school, which turned out quite well.

    I bought this on sale for my wife for her dissertation work. I found that it works about as fast as our desktop (another Intel i3 computer) and is easy for her to use. This is perfect for someone who works with a lot of documents and needs something that will boot up quickly.

    I bought this for my son to take to college and he has not complained about anything. I would only recommend adding a wireless mouse.

    Computer works as expected. Though if any thing other than web browsing or email was the primary function, speed would be an issue.

    A very good laptop for students! The touch sensitivity is pretty good, and it rightfully serves its dual purpose of a tablet and pc.

    I needed a new laptop to familiarize myself with Windows 10 and to do basic functions such as web-browsing, email, and video webcam-ing. I also wanted the laptop to be able to handle doing all these things at once without any noticeable slowness. This laptop does just that!
