Good for running windows and can handle day to day tasks like streaming media and mild gaming well. Does not like you trying to replace the Operating System or installing programs manually or really doing anything nerdy. Linux systems have a tendancy to get currupt boot files. Garbage battery life. Like 3-1/2 hours. The Intel HD graphics are just 1 generation too old to meet requirements for slightly more demanding games that I've tried. *update* after some testing, the battery turned out to be bad. after some digging on Intel's website, I found out my issue with the boot files corrupting were caused by a corrupted BIOS. Intel has a fix on their website you can run as an .EXE.
