Was a little on the fence about this purchase but ended up working out well. Used it for my last year of college and had minimal issues other than extremely low battery life (around 45 minutes) so would need to have my charger handy. Other than that no real issues. Had to get some work done on it which was about 100$ 6 months or so after I got the laptop but I expected worse considering the price. Overall happy with my purchase and I still use this daily a year later.
