I bought this laptop 2-3 months ago. Its not even my primary computer which is why i was fine with it not being a 'top of the line' laptop. I just use it for processing data on excel/writing reports sometimes at night from bed vs doing it on my desktop.So 1, at some point within the first week or two, the touchpad completely stopped working. for no reason. no spills, dropping, accidents, anything - just, stopped working. Weirdly a month or so later, it started working again. I thought it was a fluke and figured, forget it,and then 2, last night, it completely died. No idea what happened. I was working on it, its fully charged, and the monitor suddenly went black and the computer was nonresponsive. Now, I had been working on it for about an hour and Im not a computer expert so I questioned if it could have overheated or ...had some other issue Im unaware of? Sat it down in the other room and waited until morning. Charged it for ~1 hour just to make sure it was 'charged' and have tried turning it on several times without it responding.Dont waste your $500. Maybe some people have had good 'luck' with this, but do you really want luck? Being able to afford a replacement laptop is not something in the budget for me this year, and Im really upset a purchase Ive made so recently would be completely worthless.
