This Laptop is everything you would expect It to be. Giving that your expectations are good. I've read some reviews and everyone seemed to hate this laptop. I love it, I've had it for maybe a week now and nothing has gone wrong so far.

Pros:

. Beautiful Operating System (Windows 8), So fluid and fast

. The 2GB RAM is not bad at all

. Stunning Graphics on the Start Menu (Tiles)

. Lots of apps, makes it feel like a really big tablet(Not a TOUCH SCREEN!)

Cons:

. Only one, The gaming capabilities for games such as runescape and World of Warcraft is not great, works, but is not al that due to the 1.3 Ghz processor

I got this laptop really cheap at best buy ($242.99). It was brand new on clearance. I did not accept EULA for Windows 8, instead installed Fedora Linux on it. Works great except for the wireless card. I think I can get it working with ndiswrapper. It needs more memory and that's about it. The speakers aren't loud but if I normalize the volume or use head phones, they are acceptable.

My key requirements are:

1. I want to run Linux, not Windows

2. I don't want to play games on it (I have an Ultimate Gaming Machine {UGM} desktop)

3. Perfect for surfing the web and watching movies

If I could get the wireless to work, I will be golden.

--------------

Update (21 February 2013): Wireless works out of the box with Fedora 18. The kernel packaged with Fedora 14 did not support wireless.

This computer has poor screen resolution, a slow to respond touchpad, and is too slow to run a TV show without stopping. It is for sale.
