I was looking at this computer because I needed to replace my old one, that had just crashed. I opted to upgrade the memory/hardrive as like the increased speed and storage it gives. This computer has not disappointed! I truly appreciate the backlit keys (which my previous one did not have). And the loading speed is much more impressive than I was used to. I have so many fewer problems with streaming now (and the ones I do have are not caused by the computer, lol). The only drawback was not being able to get this in a color other than silver, but that's being really picky. I'm loving everything else about my new computer.
