I have had it less than a week. I have to confess I am a Gateway fan, there are not many of us left. Last year I bought a Samsung on one of Amazon's daily specials, hate it. It is so slow in opening a browser and once open it continues to be slow, hate it! So this would be my 7th Gateway between desktops and laptops in the last 20 years. When I purchased this one for an older Gateway that is fading I was concerned about 2 things the speed and well Gateway, being it was sold or merged and basically has few offerings anymore. I know nothing about processors and tried to read up on them a little and tried to compare them with other laptop offerings, but frankly I didn't know what I was doing, I just took a chance. It flies, even Explorer seems faster (not a typo) so that part has worked out. One thing I have always liked about Gateway is the touchpad pointing device. In shopping at stores I noticed most laptops now don't let you scroll with the one finger on the right side. This is just a conditioning thing, I have always liked it and this laptop has it and the option of using the 2 finger in the center of the touchpad. It has Windows 8, more cumbersome but not a problem. I didn't give it a 5 simply because I haven't had it long enough. I have to tell you it is very confusing buying a computer that's why I went with Gateway. I bought a ASUS a few years ago and didn't like him so I took a chance with one of my old reliable's.
