On the advise of my son I upped the features of my new laptop. My last laptop was 6 years old and cost $250. I got my monies worth. This new computer is lighter, faster and works as soon as I turn it on. I guess I kept my old computer too long when I think that is one of it's best features! This keyboard does not have the number keypad on the right hand side so I will have to get used to that. I used a flash drive to move all of my files and pictures over. So far, I would say it is a great purchase.
