At first it all looked good.  Then I turned it on.  It turned out that the Wifi card was faulty and was forced to stay within 6 feet of the router to get a weak signal.  I also started noticing that the startup process was getting progressively longer.  I also learned that the USB socket was faulty as well.  Needless to say, I am in the process of returning it.  I bought the laptop refurbished.
