Brilliant basic laptop for anyone looking to save money.,
I bought this laptop from Micro Center because I saw it on sale for $279 and needed a new computer. I basically try to keep things until they go terrible, my computer previous to this one was like a 1996 Award Tower with a basic Dell Screen. Very slow, with a 6 GB hard drive. It got to the point where it was too slow for me to do my work efficiently and couldn’t even watch 360p videos on Youtube. I always try to save money and try to buy items that offer the most for the money. This laptop was an brilliant choice. I’ve had it for about a month so far and I am so pleased with it. The performance is brilliant, its not sluggish at all, the keyboard is nice and comfortable, and the HD graphics and LED screen are wonderful. Two minor complaints I have is that I couldn’t connect to my WiFi and had no thought why it kept disconnecting. I had to uninstall the Norton virus protection that came with the computer and then the internet is working fine. It kept blocking it and driving me crazy, so now that it is gone everything is perfect. The speakers aren’t too fantastic either. I work from home and have a two screen setup and wish the audio was just a small bit louder because I sometimes watch videos or the news. I would opt for this model because it is the Intel processor and you can’t go incorrect with it. The screen is 15.6 HD LED LCD and is a fantastic size. I use it more as a desktop computer so its just fine for me, someone who takes their computer on the go a lot more might want something a bit smaller in size. The hard drive is 282 GB which is huge and coming from a 6 GB HD…yes 6 where I literally had to delete photos after uploading them to conserve space. The drive is more then enough. The battery life is roughly 4 hours, and when you have the screen dim it lasts a bit longer. I typically have the screen dim after a few minutes and sleep after 15 minute to extend the life. I have no problem watching Youtube videos in 1080p and the quality is fantastic. I have also bought a TV show in HD from Amazon and streamed it and the quality is brilliant. Even with the computer being a lot more expensive on amazon it is still a fantastic computer to consider. I also like the HDMI input on the side where I have hooked the laptop up to my 47″ Vizio TV and it looked perfect. My girlfriend has a Macbook Pro which is nearly $1,000 more and I just can’t see the point. She doesn’t even have an HDMI port and it has a smaller screen and I can’t justify why someone would pay so much more. If you want a laptop that is quick, perfect for everyday use with all the bells and whistles that come standard…this is an brilliant choice. There was no reviews for me to read prior to purchasing which made me nervous but I still took the leap, hopefully this will help people who are considering.

|Nice Budget Notebook – SIMPLE MEMORY UPGRADE,
This is a pretty nice notebook. The wide screen is crisp and clear. Default resolution of 1366 x 768 is quite acceptable. I paid 280 and bought a 4 GB memory module for 18 bucks. If you are upgrading the memory remove ALL the screws on the bottom of the notebook. Don’t forget the 4 screws inside the battery compartment, and keep them separate from the others as they are smaller. All the other screws are the same size. Once all the screws are removed the back should come off. There are no ribbon cables to worry about. You just set the notebook upside down on a cloth on a table, remove all screws and pull the back plastic off. My fingernails are small and I was still able to gently pry the back off without a tool. If the DVD door cover comes off don’t panic, just snap it back into place. Insert memory in the blank slot and screw it back together. remove the entire Presto, you have 6 GB memory. This is a snappy small notebook for under 300 clams. My Scores are Processor 5.3, RAM 5.5, Graphics 4.3, Gaming Graphics 5.7, Hard Disk 5.9.

|Fantastic for the price,
Like Jared, I also picked this up at Micro Center. In my case, for only $249! As someone who remembers working on IBM XT personal computers, it is astounding to consider the power and performance that can now be had for a pittance.
I am an Apple user, but so far I have been reasonably well impressed with Windows 7. I downloaded Open Office (I absolutely detest the Microsoft “ribbon” interface) which runs fantastic, and the machine streams movies well. BTW, apparently it is running a 64 bit version of Windows.
I did install 4 megs of additional memory at the suggestion of the sales guy – it cost about $20 – so I cannot swear the streaming would be quite as excellent with only 2 meg. I can also attest to the fact that you do indeed have to remove 20-something screws and take off the back of the case to install ram. Though the whole process still only took about 20 minutes.
The keyboard is a small weird, in that the keys are sort of like large Chiclets that kind of float over the body of the machine, which tells me it could get messy for users who eat while using their computers. This is the only weak spot I have noticed. It is also right that you have to burn your own recovery disks for Windows, but given the price, I can’t beef about that.
Overall, a very excellent machine for the price.
