Great value for $250 (after tax and delivery). Very smooth transitions, loads apps within 1 second. Even runs CS:GO at 60 frames per second (which is smooth performance. I have had this laptop for 2 weeks and I have used 300 gigabytes of the hard drive already, and this slows the performance of the computer. I went ahead and replaced the hard drive with a solid state drive, which made this computer load everything INSTANTLY. Runs faster and smoother than my brothers $900 desktop that he built. This is not a gaming rig, but it runs very fast for CS:GO which is the other reason I bought this PC besides for schoolwork. I highly recommend this PC, have not had any problems with it besides that I have to purchase a windows 10 product key, but this is optional.
