The performance of this laptop is tops for its price point.  No, it's not going to compete with offerings that cost double for things like gaming or heavy processing, but for folks who are using it for web browsing, watching videos, normal app usage and the like, this covers all the bases.  The processor & RAM are more than enough for these uses, while on board storage is adequate unless you are storing more than a dozen HD movies.My only hang up is the screen and keyboard.  The keyboard just seems low-end/budget; feels lower quality.  The screen is just fine if you're within 5 degrees of perfection; beyond this you'll not be pleased.  Strongly recommend giving this a try/viewing before plunking down the cash.
