Great value!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is like my minivan: big (17.3"screen), holds a ton (1TB hard drive), has a DVD player (DVD RW), and possesses the speed to get my family where we need to go (general uses). Unlike my van, it seems light (5.4 lbs) for its size and equipment (DVD RW), and it is quieter than my old laptop (low fan noise). After one week of use, I'm very happy with it, though I haven't tested all of its functions yet. Be aware that it lacks some frills that help account for its lower price. The sound quality is slightly tinny. The case and keys are made of cheaper plastic. The keyboard is not backlit, and there are no lights anywhere on this laptop besides the screen and the caps lock key. It has no laptop cover latch, and you have to open it with two hands to keep the keyboard/base from rising up with the screen. But I bought this during a Black Friday preview sale, and would do so again.

Sorry I bought it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am disabled and in a wheel chair due to rheumatoid arthritis. This laptop is too heavy for me to lift. The keyboard is off center which makes it difficult to type for more than about 10 minutes. I didn't notice when I made the purchase that there is no disc drive.

Decent but not perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Light weight and full keypad are huge pluses. The CD drive feels flexible so dont lift with only one hand.

Waste of money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this laptop after spending a great deal of time trying to fine tune it. My 8 year old version of the same device outperformed it in every way. Incredibly slow and difficult to use.
