Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the large screen, affordable price, and easy setup of the 17.3" Laptop. They appreciate the 1TB storage and 8GB memory, which provide enough space and power for general use. While some customers find the all-black keyboard challenging to adjust to and the build quality feels cheap, overall, customers are pleased with the laptop's performance and find it suitable for gaming and photo editing.

    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.

    Can't really say if this is good or not because it didn't work once we turned it on.

    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.

    Light weight and full keypad are huge pluses. The CD drive feels flexible so dont lift with only one hand.

    Since the hinges broke the Geek Squad will not repair a software issue that keeps sending the computer to blue screen. The case is junk.

    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.
