I bought this laptop as a back up to my current laptop and also to tryout a "Windows 8 laptop". Initially this laptop was performing well, but it took me some time to understand how to navigate and setup the OS. Also, the boot time was considerably higher than my 5 year old laptop, and kept on getting slower, until one day the OS crashed. Since its a refurbished laptop, it doesnt come with the usual driver software disc or the recovery disk, and getting an installer CD for Win 8 is very difficult without purchasing another license. So I am still struggling to get this up and running again. So right now the laptop is sitting on my desk and gathering dust, till I figure out how to fix it, without shelling out a lot of $$.
