At this price point, you can't really get everything you want in a laptop.  This is a pretty big upgrade from the personal laptop I had been using for years.. An old, refurbished, hunk of junk.  I don't do any gaming or any graphics editing on this.  I mostly do just web browsing, basic video watching, some light word processing, etc.  I use it daily, but it is not my main computer.For what I use it for, it is snappy, has good battery life, is light, and just generally works well so far.  I like the the keyboard size and don't have any problems typing on it which I've had with other laptops.  I like the small 10-key.The big negative for this device, like others have described, is the display,  It may be one of the worst displays I've come across. The range of view is really bad.. It always seems like the backlight needs to be turned down.. It is not really pleasant to look at.. At all.  No touchscreen is a bit of a negative, but for the price, it is what it is.If this was going to be my main computer/display, I would spend a bit more for something better or just not use it as a laptop and hook it up to an external display.Overall, I like this device as brand new.. The display issue is minor to me personally, and it works well for what I use it for.
