This is my wife's 'daily driver' laptop outside of work. As you might expect, its main functions are web-based. That is, what many of us are doing now and this laptop excels at this.Pros:Long batter life - this machine  has a much longer battery life than my macbook air.Decent Screen - large touchscreen that lets you pinch-and-zoom, scroll, etcGood build quality - It is plastic, but after almost 8 months no incidentsPlenty of horsepower for most tasks - no hiccups on web-videos, email, web surfing, and light computing tasksPrice - this thing is a great deal.Cons:While the keyboard is decent, it does not have a backlit keyboardThat's about it for the cons! If you are looking to do video editing or cutting edge gaming, this is not the machine for you. However, if you are looking for a laptop with a decently sized screen and long battery life to do emails, word processing, and web-surfing, this is a great choice to do it economically.
