Full user opinion
I have had the computer for a week. All I wanted was something basic for internet, word proccessing etc. So far the computer has been perfect. I upgraded the RAM and had the wireless card put in. Great value for an extra $50. The battery life is weak, but I didn't expect it to last since it is only a 4 cell. So that's OK since I knew what I was getting. This is a perfect computer for doing basic things and if I had to do it over I would buy it again.
