Had this laptop for about a year and a half and in that time it has seen considerable use and still works splendidly. There are obvious drawbacks to the computer, as it is truly intended for low-cost accessibility. I have since upgraded to a newer laptop as my needs demanded, but this cheapie will definitely be kept around for a good while due to its compact size and meeting basic task fulfillment. Excellent product for those who, like me, needed this laptop for mostly school purposes. As a media device, it falls short, but this is expected due to the price and specs. Screen quality is pretty good, but audio quality falls behind. Still the device is perfectly audible in a single occupancy setting. Most people would probably use headphones in a public setting anyway, so audio isn't as much of a concern I doubt if this is the laptop you're looking to buy. Don't expect to be running any kind of demanding software or any games that aren't Minesweeper. There's a serviceable amount of storage on the drive, but not much; heavy files will fill her up quick. These shortcomings I can excuse, as this laptop even far exceeded the one I had previously which was triple the price! It got me through a few semesters during a time when I was short on cash. This is a surprisingly hardy machine that buyers should know is good for simple use.
