We haven't had this laptop for 4 months when the battery stopped holding a charge. I figured so maybe a new battery, but it was definitely the machine. We are going back and forth between 2 different batteries to try to keep it going. Don't waste your money, it is just going to die after the warranty expires. We got a $10 credit towards a new battery, $250 +$25 + the inconvenience of knowing this machine wasn't refurbished well.
