Okay, so I've had this laptop for a little over a week and I have pretty much only positive things to say. For one, this thing boots up and loads faster than any computer (laptop or desktop) I've owned before. Second, the battery life is outstanding... with a full charge, it is possible for me to carry it around all day using it for a few hours at a time without having to charge it again until late in the evening. Third, the thing is just all around a really great laptop with a touchscreen that makes everyday tasks just a little more enjoyable (IMO it's completely unnecessary as well, but just adds a bit of intrigue and change of pace from the same old, same old). Those things said, the reason I gave this laptop 4 stars instead of 5 is because there have been a few occasions that it struggled to multitask. These came at times of high data and video card usage, which is understandable. But rather than have the computer lag, I would gladly replace the touchscreen with more RAM and more dedicated video memory (VRAM). One thing I will look into is upgrading the RAM from 6 to 10 which from what I understand is not a difficult thing to do, and should solve most of the troubles I've had with lag during multitasking. Also, if you are looking for a computer to game on, this is not the one for you. It only has 128 mb of VRAM which makes it virtually impossible to play anything new other than games in the Windows Store designed for tablets. I don't like gaming on a PC anyway, so this is not an issue for me. If you want a nifty little laptop that is good for everyday computing, this is most likely going to work for you and is incredibly affordable for someone on a budget, while not being so low budget that it's completely worthless. Be willing to dish out at least $400 for something that is going to run well and last you for a good while.
