Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I am going to write this from my perspective, meaning the things that are important to me. I dont use massaive amounts of storage through video and photo editing,things like that. I am an environmental science major and i bought this for several reasons among them the power savings features. This comes with an A8 processor with turbo boost technology on it. that means it runs slow for low end applications such as email or watching movies and then speeds up when needed for more demanding programs. This saves on power consumption and on the life of the battery and laptop. I really like this feature. It also has two graphics cards, which for a laptop under 500 is unheard of. I like that this is also lightweight and for the most part well built, The lid is a bit flimsy but you shouldnt have to worry about that unless you drop it or mess with it too much. The one thing i do not like on it is the power cord is a bit flimsy, otherwise it is a great machine. One more note, I changed the operating system but for some reason all the drivers worked fine except the AMD graphics drivers so if you plan on putting linux or some other OS it may take some tinkering to do it. Overall this is a great laptop and well worth the 500 dollars. I ran the windows index experience on this machine; the highest score possible on the machine was 5.9, two of the subscores were 5.9 and the lowest subscore was 5.5. Thats how good a machine it is.
