I have used this laptop for 2 years and initially purchased it because I needed a cheap laptop with good enough RAM and processing speed to run basic statistical models. I am writing my review after 2 years of use. FYI, I have purchased a new laptop after 2 years and recommend AGAINST purchasing this laptop.PRO:I personally like how the keypad feels.Has a nice keyboard backlight.Touch screen is reponsive.CONS:First, I am glad I bought Amazon's 4 year insurance on this laptop. Without it, I would have had to purchase another laptop. The hard-drive was no longer functioning approximately 1.5 years of use and I needed to send it in for repair.Second, mouse trackpad is awful on this laptop. Sometimes the left mouse stops clicking and gets stuck. I have updated the hardware numerous times, but nothing really helps...Third, battery life is awful. At the beginning, it lasted 3-4 hours if I'm using microsoft word and listening to spotify.Fourth, the laptop, despite having 8 GB of ram and an intel i5 processor, it still lags a lot. I had microsoft word freeze on occasion which was very frustrating.Fifth, the finger print read RARELY works and I just use a password to sign into my PC...
