Knock on wood, so far it hasn't been too bad. It works ok, just has two big flaws that I'm going to try and get fixed locally. First and most irritating is that the right speaker is blown. It rattles so badly that you can't make out what is being said or played. I'm hoping it can be replaced. Second issue is that many things in my house are bluetooth, and it doesn't recognize ANY of them. I was going to try and override the speakers and run it through my bluetooth speakers..... nope. So tried to use the TV.... nope. It won't even acknowledge that I have any bluetooth in my house. I can't stand the rattle. It's like nails on a chalkboard. Won't see my bluetooth printer either. That sucks for the whole reason I need a laptop. I'm a writer and need to be able to make hard copies of what I write. I will hope that these things can be fixed, cause everything else seems ok.
