I've had this for 11 months, I've had to take it in for repairs 4 times and today on Christmas it stopped working again. I'm not a computer expert so I'll paraphrase what I've had to repair on this. I had to replace the ram because the computer wasn't able to recognize it, the refurbished Windows program didn't work, and one visit was just to get rid of a virus which wasn't the computers fault and now it won't send a signal to my monitor. Your better off buying brand new one.
