I used this lap top for a year without any major issues. It's a little smaller than I imagined but fully functional.Its also durable so long as you purchase it with the cases recommended. I used the ipearl mcover hardshell case. This is a beautiful marriage of security and technology. Most gadgets don't survive my home with two boys. This lap top and case have been dropped times without number. The only thing I didn't enjoy is that there are no drivers attached. It easily links to my wireless services, printers etc.
