Not tooooo bad. UPDATED 2016
UPDATED 06/25/16: (BEST THING TO DO NOW IS UPGRADE to WINDOWS 10 or Install Linux) Let me start by saying I am a tech guy, love buying and trying new things. The reason I bought this was to see how something so cheap could be any good. I witnessed how terrible chrome $200 laptops are (if you are smart, you know what I mean). But this laptop is by far a great piece of technology for the price tag of $250-280, if you are on a budget I think you should try this out. I know a lot of you may think because this doesn't have a touchscreen you shouldn't get it because of Windows 8... But realize it is very useful even without a touchscreen. I have yet to use windows 8 on a touchscreen(Besides a phone) and I am still in love. So like I said before just give it a try. Pros: Windows 8.1, Running Windows 10 smoothly (upgrades to Windows 10, Ends Late July) Keyboard, spaced out to perfection IMO NUMPAD included Price Very Light Sleek Can watch Netflix, and Play some games. Games I can play smoothly(All on Low-Med Specs 20-30 FPS): Minecraft, CS:GO, LOL, and GTA:SA. DOTA 2 does NOT work on this laptop, I haven't tried WOW yet either. A LOT of Windows 10 Games work though, so give it a chance and upgrade. Cons: Touchpad, IMO they could have done better but hey for the price its fine, get another mouse if you want Difficulty to take out parts/Upgrade parts I wish the battery life was a tad bit better. But who doesn't bring their charger ? (AND if you don't that is okay too because the battery can at least last about 5 hours if watching 2 Movies straight.) Overall: 8/10
