For the money!!! Absolutely. My keyboard volume control doesn't work as another guy said. No major issue to me as it is adjustable on screen. But there is a fix for it if you read on the other reviews. 4 months in, I am happy. I can load 10 tabs on my browser without issue. I bought the Solid state drive. I wouldn't buy anything else anymore. Impeccable startup, function, etc. I don't travel with my laptop much, so the large, sturdy aluminum case is only a benefit. The last two I've owned have physically failed in a few years due to my negligence and to just cheap plastic. I don't see that happening half as easily with this well built model. It may be a few years old with upgraded internals, but it outperforms my newer model.
