We found this to be a great bargain laptop.  It boots and runs faster than we expected.  The weight is light enough that it's noticeably easier to take on the road than its 4 yr old predecessor.  We mostly us it for web browsing, watching media and light email use.  We've also done some light photo and video editing and so far so good.  Ours came with Windows 8.1 which we found to be clunky and a hassle to use, but the upgrade to Windows 10 was flawless and makes this a much nicer machine to use.
