I bought this computer for my teenage son for Christmas as he was losing his school issued Chromebook. I also thought he needed a "real laptop" for his community college classes as well as his personal interests. He likes to make music, watch videos, game and has to do schoolwork on it, too. It's been terrific for all of his many uses. He especially likes the touchscreen, so he can select items from icon menus with a flick of the finger. The battery gives him several hours between charges. I'm definitely happy I snatched up this Black Friday deal.
