This laptop is exactly what it claims to be, with no bells or whistles. Two complaints: the laptop doesn't seem to start unless I hold the power button for *exactly* the right amount of time, not too short and not too long; also, the audio drivers are horrendous (popping noises, bad volume levels, not recognizing devices on the first try, MaxxAudioPro's stupid default settings). Other than that, it is perfect for light productivity.
