We were originally planning to buy an HP laptop. We were very close to buying it, when a last minute decision was made to go to frys electronics. They recommended this laptop for the families needs, and they could have never been more right! I use the laptop heavily, mostly using the internet, but I also usually like to edit video's, work on 3D Animation, sound edit, watch lots of youtube video's, etc... This laptop doesn't break a sweat!
If you are worried about the fact that they used an AMD A-8 3520m on this laptop(at least mine), don't be. The quad-core processor works very nicely when video editing or animating. You'd be surprised to see how this computer can handle animation projects. I use Blender, and the only time I've seen lag while using blender was when I would set subdivisions on a mountain to an unreasonably high point or if I set the resolution on an ocean to high. Other than that, I've been doing great.
I give this laptop a 4-star rating simply because of this: battery life. The battery life can be very annoying, mostly in readings. The computer can say that you have around 3 hours of battery life left, when you really just have one. This can get on your nerves if you plan on taking the laptop outdoors a
lot.
Last but not least, this laptop works OK with overclocking. I haven't got into overclocking too much, but I've done some overclocking. The cpu does get hot at times, but that's if you overclock too much.
Overall, this laptop is a great deal. It's big, it's light, it's got enough space to handle you files, whether they be 1MB or 100MB, and the overclocking abilities are nice. I would most definitely recommend this product to a friend!

I'm an IT person so was looking for a great machine for my dad for Christmas. The specs are great and for a basic user, they're more than enough. So far the machine is holding up and the sound is great, and it's pretty light for the size. I would definitely recommend this for a basic user (Internet, Office, etc...) I'm not sure if it's good for gaming as I don't do that. Otherwise, it's great! We use Lenovo at my place of work so I think it's a reputable brand.
