It was as described.  Windows was easy to activate.  It is light and easy to carry around.  The only issue I have had so far is that the battery does not last as long as windows says it has left.  Sunday I clicked on the battery and it said it had 2 hours left of operation, it died in a little over an hour.  Other than that issue, it is a good laptop so far.  I'll update in a few months and let you know if it is still performing as well.
