it's a decent computer for the price but the numeric keypad is a bit of a nuisance being makes the normal, letter keypad off to the left.  After years of a centered keypad on every laptop I've owned, my hands keep "centering" hitting the wrong keys.  I'm sure I'll adjust but, unless you are entering numbers all day...the numeric key pad is a detriment.  All in all, for around $300 it's a great buy
