This laptop isn't bad at all for the price. I bought this for college use and it will do that fairly well because of how thin and light it is. I was surprised that it even had a light up keyboard even when being so thin. The touchscreen couldn't be better, it's fluid and responsive. As for the CPU and GPU, before I get into that I'll say that my main computer before this was a custom built desktop with a AMD FX-4100 unlocked processor and an AMD Radeon HD 7770 as well as 8GB of RAM. The processor is clocked to 4.2GHz, and yet somehow, I prefer this laptop's AMD A10 CPU over the FX-4100. Both run the same Windows 8 OS, and yet, copying 12GB of data on the laptop took around 5 minutes, while doing the same on the desktop took more than twice that amount. There are many more situations where the A10 stood out against an overclocked FX chip. The A10 also comes with a built in GPU, as a competitor to Intel's HD Graphics 4000, and I must say, AMD has won this competition. The graphics is better than the graphics on my year old Dell XPS L502X, which is a big heavy laptop and was intended for performance, it came with an i7 and a Nvidia GeForce 525M. Some games like Syndicate do lag a lot even on lowest settings, but other games like Just Cause 2 and even Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 will be PLAYABLE at the highest possible settings. By playable I mean yes there will be a lower FPS, but it'll be high enough to play. Decrease the graphics settings a bit and both games play lag-less and with great graphics.

There is one issue when it comes to the hardware. I find the touchpad to be ridiculously annoying to use as it's not very accurate.The overall feel of the product seems very plastic-y and I expected a better feel for a laptop at this price. But then again, the materials used for it is the reason why it's not so heavy. Also the webcam quality sucks. It could have been way better. But I rarely use it so it doesn't bother me.

All in all I really like this laptop, but it did take some time to get used to it. People complained about the keyboard but for me it's just fine. It's a bit cramped but I can still type on it pretty fast. And as for the touchpad, you won't want to use it when you have such a great touchscreen. I recommend this laptop to everyone, regardless of whether you want a laptop for gaming, work, or entertainment. The speakers on it are tiny but they're loud and sound great with the surround sound option so watching movies on it is a pleasure as well. I bought this laptop with high expectations and in most aspects, this laptop surpassed those expectations.

If you are looking for a laptop that is fast, plenty of Hard Drive, USB ports, HDMI connector to hook to your TV, then this one may be one for you. I wanted speed, large hard drive, but the one thing I did forget to check was the CD Reader/Writer. It doesn't come with a CD Reader/Writer, but I ordered a external CD writer from Amazon for $28. Since I don't use CD that much, not a big deal to me.

Good processor speed, lots of RAM and huge hard drive. This is a widescreen layout, so you get a dedicated numeric pad, but you will be typing "left of center" if you hold it on your lap. The laptop is very lightweight, partly because it has no internal optical drive. The backlit keyboard is a nice feature for dimly lit areas. Screen resolution is very sharp. The touchscreen is very responsive, but I've had problems with the browsers and web pages not responding appropriately. For example, trying to close a pagetab by touching the "X", or trying to display the contents of a dropdown list by clicking the arrow. Often it takes two or more touches (or I give up and use the mouse). The brushed metal looking case (actually hard plastic) feels sturdy.

I bought this to replace my gateway laptop and the laptop will be primarily used for school. I have a custom built desktop that blows other peoples computers away, so I didn't expect the tablet to compete with that. I just wanted something light enough to carry around and study with. Right out of the box the computer worked great. I had no issues connecting it to my router. It took a little getting used to with the apps and trying to navigate around but once I figured it out ( which took only 20 minutes to do) I found that I was loving the laptop. I love that anything that i install on the laptop I can access on the main app screen. The touch screen I love. The lack of a CD drive was no problem. I just got an external CD drive and was able to install the programs in needed to easily.
