I purchased with the intent of completing moderate tasks like Video chatting, Movie watching, and minor audio editing. I also wanted a laptop that was quick to power up and down.This laptop has met my expectations of everything I ordered it for. It takes seconds to power up and down. The screen quality is excellent for it's size and it has been able to flawlessly perform any video chatting task I have put forth. If I do start pushing the limits, then I know I can upgrade it from 8gig of RAM to 20 very easily.If I had a complaint, it would be more constructive criticism than anything else. The fan vents are on the bottom making it best used on a flat surface where there will be plenty of airflow. I do not recommend using this on a blanket or any other cloth surface or the computer will begin to heat up very quickly.Overall, it is a great laptop for the price and will most the needs of most users.
