I got this laptop as a fast backup for my laptop that suddenly stopped working. The price was great at the time less than $200 ...the specs also weren't too shabby.  Thing is, if you type really fast like I do after a few mins of use it lags.  I type over 100 wpm and everytime I type a sentence I have to pause and wait for it to catch up before I can see what I typed onscreen.  The left side of the laptop gets REALLY HOT after being on for less than 10 mins.  I have yet to locate any vents.  The touch pad even with adjusted sensitivity is TERRIBLE, selecting items, clicking etc takes way too much energy.  Not great for someone like me who works from home on their laptop.  The processor just isn't fast enough I guess.  But good for very LIGHT USE.
