Ok, I will try not to go too long in my review. Because I have waited a LONG time just to get this (long story short, UPS couldn't find my place, sent it back to headquarters or whatever, had to get a refund and reorder it AGAIN) that now, I could see how this laptop holds up. And so far, it holds up pretty well. The laptop was in a box and another, smaller box. Very well packaged. The cord was wrapped up nicely to the side. When I opened the laptop, it was fully charged, which was nice. Now, you could get a mouse for it if you are not fond of the touch screen because they have two USB ports. I am using 1 port for a fan to help cool it and know the 2nd one I could use a mouse...or charge my phone. Whatever.I also like the fact that this has 8gb...I have seen a lot higher prices for just 4gb so, to get this, with 8, very nice features, good ratings, all for a price of around $250 or so (taxes and such), this laptop was worth the (unfortunately long) wait. I will continue to work on this more and see if there are any cons. I do know I get a 90 day warranty, which is also a nice bonus.
