I love this computer.  It's fast and powerful. It feels powerful and durable. It powers up like a dream and works fast. The screen clarity isn't the best but it's pretty good.  I use my computer mostly for creating text-based documents, so it's just fine for me, but if you're doing much with graphics, it might not be adequate for you. For the price, I would have given this computer five stars save for two faults: (1) one of the three USB sockets works only sometimes -- that is, it doesn't work with some of my USB devices; and (2) the battery life isn't very long.  At full charge, running the computer at power-saver setting, it lasts less than two hours.
