The laptop seems to work well but it's the first day of use. Time will tell. The front and top was sticky when I removed it from the box. I ended up using gasoline on a rag to remove whatever the substance was. The section where the disc enters the machine is attached to the frame with what looks like black caulk or some type of black glue. It didn't work because the part is still loose. Too much trouble to return it so I am hoping to get some use from it before it quits working.
