Easily the best laptop I've ever owned and so happy with the value of this computer. With 16GB of memory, i5 processor and a 512GB SSD, it's incredibly fast to boot up, even from a full shut down. Battery life is very good, although it seems to diminish a bit even if shut down (not just on Sleep). There is really no bloatware or ads to speak of and the operating system and file setup is very clean. Absolute favorite and I would buy again in a heartbeat -- all for about $500.
