This laptop is simple to set up, and performs much faster than I expected. So far the battery holds a good charge.I like the 3.0  USBs which allowed me to restore my data from an external hard drive. I was also able to download all my old apps using my restored download fold for the URLs. It helps to keep your download folder on the old laptop well organized, and correctly representing your most used apps prior to backing it up to the ext. HD.This unit is light weight, and I like the backlit keyboard, although it doesn't have the tenkey pad.
