I just got this machine up and running today. I have to agree with the "shockingly slow" reviewer. This machine is certainly that. Very disappointed. My usage and applications don't require much heavy computation. If that was required, I'd pack this up and send it back today. Since I'm only doing simple office tasks and web development, I can probably live with this, I'll know better in a few weeks.Frankly, the only up side for me so far is I got it $100 off during "Prime days".Not impressed.
