    I was happy to get such a great deal ($399 black Friday) on a laptop with a new i5 processor and solid state drive. Out of the box the performance seems solid and I was happily surprised that there was not very much bloatware pre-loaded but the quality of the keyboard is another matter - it feels flimsy and bends with the slightest of pressure giving me little confidence in its longevity. Maybe not such a great deal after all.

    Bought this for my niece for Christmas. She is enjoying using it for research for school, but even more for watching YouTube videos! I bought MS Office/Student Edition to go with it.

    For the price, you get what you pay for. It does the job for basic home/personal needed functions. Its not very fast, not alot of storage, the screen isnt very crisp and the touchpad is a horrible design (touch anywhere, including the right/left buttons & the curser moves, very sensitive even after adjusting. Bad design). Its good for basics, maybe for a kids homework or keeping up woth home financials, but not much more.

      4. Click System and Security.
      5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems.

    Worth every penny. You may not find such a deal

    I bough this few days back when it was on Black Friday pre-sale. I have done a good research before finalizing this deal, You wont find equal or better configuration for this same price of $399. Getting 7th Gen i5 processor with 8GB Ram and 256GB SSD is very rare. It is lightning fast in its category. Fast boot up because of SSD. Very responsive touch screen. Just the below few things could have been better: No 5Ghz Wifi- They should have added that. The form factor could have been more stylish. They should have reduced the weight of this PC. But none of the above were deal breakers for me. I bought this for my wife who has very limited use like mostly on office products, some music, movies and casual browsing etc. for which is more than enough. Overall a good buy.

    Im not a laptop expert and the person that I bought it for isnt an expert either. That said, it seems to be a really nice, inexpensive laptop. It has a nice big touch screen, good battery life and is peppy and responsive. I was really pleased to see that it wasnt overly blasted with bloatware - initial setup took much less time than I expected. My only complaint is that the viewing angles on the screen arent great, so it is sometimes difficult to see if you get two or three people gathered around the screen at the same time. Thats to be expected from a cheap laptop however, so no loss of stars.
