Here's is my honest review after purchasing this laptop last week. I'm a writer and in the process of starting a business and needed a laptop SPECIFICALLY for what I'm doing and on a budget that wasn't going to drive me crazy using it. I work IT and very familiar with laptops/desktops and what specs one would need them for. For example you wouldn't buy a Lamborghini for your construction job right, RIGHT. Read on...Packaging:Laptops usually come in a slim box. Mine came in a slim box inside a bigger box. The slim box was wrapped with packaging paper. Neither boxes were damaged.Unpacking:I took the slim laptop box out of the packaging box. I opened the box and the laptop was wrapped in a cloth. I bought this laptop "new". It was packed well. No dings or scratches. I love the metallic look. It even comes with a number keypad.Usage:The specs were exactly what it described. It turned on fast. Opening multiple windows and multitasking was okay. Pretty decent for 4G ram. I disabled the S mode. It is Windows 10 Home Edition. This is not a touch screen laptop. Does exactly what it says it does.Con:I have no cons. With this machine. I got it for what its designed for. NOW - were there any issues with packaging, dings, scratches, laptop no operating well etc? No.Overall:This is a perfect laptop for writers, bloggers, Web Developers (doing basic developer work) and internet browsing. If you have Netflix on this and frequent YouTube a lot, it's perfect for that also. If you're a writer and/or need to do work at home with MS Office Suites and need a really nice laptop for it's price NOW, ON A BUDGET, THIS LAPTOP IS AMAZING FOR JUST THAT.. **THIS IS NOT A GAMING LAPTOP**...**THIS IS NOT A LAPTOP TO LOAD POWERFUL APPS LIKE ADOBE SUITES, DEVELOPING APPS, SAS, MUSIC PRODUCTION SOFTWARE etc** This laptop has room for upgrading the ram which is what I'm doing now. I did read that this model could be overclocked but you don't need to do that but that's up to you if you know what you're doing. If after upgrading the ram you could get away with Mind Craft.  If you get this laptop outside for what it's designed for then shame on you. If you want a beefier laptop, be patient and save your money and buy a beefier laptop. I would definitely recommend this laptop to anyone needing this laptop for what it does.
