Battery Life: I'm reviewing this after having it a while so the less than great battery life may be due to its age. I don't know. It doesn't last an hour but previously would last longer when I used it during classes. So now I have to keep plugged in to use.Touchscreen: Initially touchscreen would have ripples or "jump around" that's the best way I can describe it. I think it may be bc I took a chance and bought refurbished. I no longer have that issue and touchscreen works fine.Overall: overall I really like this laptop. The screensize is great. I like that it's touchscreen.  Like the backlit keys. I would reccomend
