This is a decent laptop and so far has held up pretty well with regular usage. We've had them for some time now. However, if you do any type of typing for any extended amount of time on it the keys start to fade and eventually wear away. Also, the battery does not hold up unplugged if you're playing a game on it, it needs to be charged all the time if you're playing a game. The video card is decent though needs to be updated a lot.
