    I pointed out the color and model I wanted to the salesperson, getting the touchscreen specifications available in the store. I took the computer home as a gift for my mom, but when I opened it, I discovered it was a different color and had no touchscreen feature.

    It's ok kinda slow and you have to restart it all the time for it to work sometimes and it's new. The memory is low because some games require more than it has. They should let us know that. Screen resolution not great also.

    The laptop has very poor color quality. It’s very hard to actually see. I have looked into enhancing the color but it didn’t make a difference. I would not recommend this laptop for that reason. It works and I only use it once in a while so I can deal with it.

    This laptop has a pathetically short battery life that renders it pretty useless. Now I know why Bestbuy was selling this model so cheaply. What use is a machine that can only last 4 hours on a full charge when all I'm doing is checking email? I would never have purchased this had I known how poor the battery was.
