UPDATED FOR LOWER SCORE: So while I think if it works, it's decent for the price, the issue is that over the past few months, I've had unfortunate issues with the laptop just out of the blue not wanting to boot, nor will it charge, or even display the battery light. Literally dead as a brick.However if you let it sit for ~24-36 hours, *then* plug it in, suddenly it will work just fine for another few weeks, boots up and charges like normal, until it happens again of course. I should have sent it in when it first happened, but I didn't and I'm stupid.It always has (at least so far) come back just fine, suddenly being without a computer for a day or two is frustrating, so I would advise caution when getting this laptop, and if it suddenly turns into a brick on you, just send it back and don't deal with the issue, and get something else. I've seen too many people with this same issue get another one that also doesn't work right.Original review:So, while I think this is a good product for the price, I think it's important to know what you're getting in to, and know what you'll be using it mainly for.To start with the good:-Product is *very* light weight, incredibly easy for transporting, but doesn't feel cheap. Great choice if you need to take it with you constantly, IE student, for work, etc.-Boots quickly-I do think the battery is decent. Watching video for hours on end, or doing a lot of things while music on, etc, will definitely shorten the 'all day' claim, but it's not bad for general use, and you'll get *most* of the day (also that all depends on long your day is, right?).-SD card slot for a little extra storage-Keyboard is good for a small laptop. Normally, in my experience, they are very cramped, this one isn't bad.To think about:-It's not speedy. Watching videos and general web browsing and everyday stuff is about it, I wouldn't even feel very comfortable with 'lite' gaming, so if you think you'll give some of that a shot.... I really wouldn't.-Space is not great. Half of your space is already taken up by the OS, so doesn't leave you with more than ~30 gb. Sd card slot helps, but I would recommend some other kind of external drive or somethingAll in all, if you just need a windows laptop for everyday casual use, and want something very easy to take around with you, I absolutely recommend this one - I use mine all day long for normal browsing and streaming video + music,, but if you think you're looking for something for heavier use, maybe some gaming, or something speedier to run more intense programs, maybe spend a little more on another product.
