This is not a high end laptop. The screen resolution is nowhere near Apple quality. Not a touch screen. I'm not a gamer. It is fairly fast when logging in and on restarts due to the SSD. It often fails to switch the audio output when I connect to HDMI to watch streaming apps on TV and requires a restart to fix it. I like the lighted keyboard. The case feels pretty cheap and there is no opening anywhere along the edges of the screen and keyboard to open it. You have to slide your fingernails in between them to open it. It's a good basic laptop that I got on a Black Friday sale for $400 and it is worth that much for when I want to use MS office apps like Word and Excel or surf the web with a regular keyboard and a bigger screen than an iPad.
