Just transferred all of my apps and files to this laptop. Works great and backlit keyboard is outstanding. Has everything I need and more. Did not have any cosmetic issues. Battery has full life expectancy left. Runs 64 bit apps.Will expand to 16GB soon but no immediate need as I very seldom run many concurrent business apps. Usually just Word, Outlook, and PDF reader. (or other combinations of 3) I am using in business consulting. No issue with corporate IT connectivity, practices or security add ons.
