I bought this for my wife but we're getting divorced so I kept it before I had a chance to tell her. I hate using laptops in general but I guess it will be nice to have if I decide to be a bum again. Now I use it to stream movies while I play games on my main pc. I'm not a huge fan of the splash screen every time I turn it on. It just gets old after a while. Makes me feel like I bought a thousand dollar tv though which is what it ended up being. I might sell it but who knows. Might be useful if I go back on the road. The battery life, however, is not much to write home about. Runs down after half a days use and that's just general online browsing and maybe 30 minutes of gameplay. Expect to keep it plugged in most the time. I added a hybrid drive to increase the disc space. Not sure why now that I won't actually be using it to store much but whatever.
