I bought this for my fiance to replace her (absolutely garbage) HP laptop of 4 years. So far she's really loving this!I think it's a really good little machine for its cost, the battery life is pretty nice, the screen is plenty bright, and the overall usefulness is pretty great.I think the speakers are kind of quiet and could bare to be better, and the screen/hinge area feels kind of flimsy at times, but so far it's holding up.There's a beep every time we plug it in to charge or unplug it. Haven't figured out how to turn that off yet, hoping it's an option though.I'm hesitant to give it 5 stars this soon, but so far it's doing good!
