Summary: Overall, I am pleased with my laptop. I don't really have any major complaints. I'm not what you would call a "computer geek", so I don't really require a lot from my computer. This is my first laptop and I am satisfied with its performance thus far. I think it's a decent choice for a first timer or someone who doesn't require a lot of bells and whistles.
