Definitely very poorly made. Not only does it run much slower than expected for a laptop with these specs, but there were two separate, unrelated hardware failures within two weeks of purchase. The touchpad would occasionally move the mouse of its own accord (literally without any prompting) for extended periods of time, and about a week in I got a blue-screen error that apparently was the result of some kind of motherboard failure/hardware mismatch. I'm just glad these failures occurred within the return period so that I don't have to struggle with a poorly-built computer any longer.Buy at your own risk - you are rolling the dice and hoping you get one that has been assembled properly, but the components are obviously very low quality.
