I am just a casual internet surfer. I use this computer for watching videos and listening to music for the most part. It might be over-kill for me, but for the price and what it has and does, I am really liking it. I doubt if I will ever go back to a regular hard drive after using this one with the SSD. I can not believe how fast this thing is. I have no issue with buying a refurbished computer. I bought two. Yes, I had to send one back, but they are sending a replacement back. As long as it performs as well as the current one I have, I will be happy.
