I really like this computer. I wanted something simple, sturdy, and reliable. All I want to do is write on it - I'm a writer and needed a laptop. The reviews were solid. It arrived in like-new state, booted up impeccably, and has been performing wonderfully. I love the keyboard - so much more substantial than most. It's a tactile pleasure. Yes it's chunky, but I have two small kids and electronics are vulnerable. I needed something sturdy, and this is it. My only complaint is the power cord. The prongs on the plug are bent and one is broken off entirely. Sometimes I have to jiggle it to actually get the computer to take a charge. So I'm probably going to have to order a replacement power cord. But the computer itself is great, and it came appropriately packaged in bubble wrap.
