    Replaces a 7 year old Toshiba, and just trying to get used to Windows 10, from old Windows 7. Much lighter than old product, with a lot more memory and power.

    My concern is only about the battery and display. It only runs 2 hours with a full charged battery, really disappointed! And it says a full HD, but shows half away. I paid for this laptop below 400 bucks, so it is OK for me only to work on the school stuff.
