Your mileage may vary, but upon receiving the laptop the internet was constantly being dropped for no reason. It continued for awhile and persisted even after driver updates and re installments, a factory reset and of course a software update. I gave up and returned the item although (ironically) soon afterwards i learned the issue was due to Microsofts firewall software. I still decided to return this item as i was unhappy with my experience. If you DONT have this issue, its a pretty good rig and has some fairly modern specs. Not to mention the build quality is much better than expected. The touchpad is my biggest complaint as it felt hard to get work done on it but to be fair im more used to mac touchpads (although even a 9 year old macbooks has a better trackpad than this). Overall its an okay laptop but if you want a system you can trust and overall have a better experience with i would recommend a newer macbook. Yeah specs are worst but in terms of functionality they just work better.
