    was unable to gain access to the internet. It was a very frustrating experience, especially as I have purchased many other compluters from best buy and had no trouble whatsoever in getting them ready for service.

    I purchased this laptop and after two weeks of having it, the screen would not turn on. We tried to troubleshoot it, but could not get it to work. We returned it and purchased another computer (different brand).

    My computer freezes up frequently. When I asked for help from the Geek squad, I was put on hold for a long time and then told they were busy. I am very disappointed with the service I expected.

    I ended up returning this computer. I could not get it to sync with my old and new printer. I even bought a new router. Nope, couldn't sync and the Geek squad also tried to help me, no go!

    Nice computer but the 10 pad on the computer doesn't work, wonder if I have to up-grade or download a driver? Kind of weird to have a full keyboard and not the right software to run it!

    Ok for the price, battery life really is bad

    I purchased this model in mid-October, 2015 - so have had it about 1.5 months. It's ok for a low-end laptop, it gets the job done as long as you are not in a hurry and are near an electrical outlet. Literally, in the last 10 minutes, I've watched the battery drop from 100% to 91%. You can WATCH (just dropped to 90%) the battery drain on the task bar indicator. When plugged in, as soon as it reaches 100%, a warning pops up that says you need to unplug it to preserve battery life - I assume that means how many months the thing might last, because it can't refer to durability during the current session. The RAM needs to be upgraded, so I have purchased a chip, just need to install and hope it helps, it should. As delivered, you can hear it churn as it (battery: 89%) tries to carry out your latest click. I currently have Firefox open with 3 tabs - no video, just e-mail, a blog I'm reading, and this tab; NO other apps of any kind active (except whatever might be running in the background). There is a very noticeable delay when I click to open a new tab, or anything else. The keyboard makes an audible "spring" sound while typing, so not sure how durable it will be. However, since I always have to be near an outlet, I use a Bluetooth keyboard anyway, as well as a larger monitor. (I took this into account since I don't often need to travel with my laptop, I mostly use it in my home office.) I had read reviews prior to my purchase and simply wanted to add to/concur with the other reviewers: it's an (87%) ok entry-level computer for the price, it will get the job done. But if you do want to be able to carry your laptop with you to work remotely, this may not be your best choice. Thanks! (84% - while I was previewing this :)
