most laptops caused me frustration because they lagged or the setup wasn't easy to understand. this laptop has none of that. it was highly easy to setup, and wasn't laggy. at first it wasn't crazy speedy but once I added the card on the side it was so fast. I love this laptop, not to mention the flawless looking color. it's so shiny and subtle. the size is perfect, it's easy to read and carry but not to big that it's bulky. I would reccomend this to anyone. this took a long search but it was highly worth it, I love the touchscreen as well.
