4.0 out of 5 stars Good machine
By GAYMER Valan
I feel that the computer is over powered in some ways and does not have the true ability to have its max potential unlocked due to the restraint on equipment. I think you can get a less expensive machine that will do the same thing and still have all of its ability unlocked.Got this on sale during Prime Day. 400.00 off so I am not disappointed in the machine but I am in my choices. I could have saved more money by getting another. COLORED, KEYBOARD very cool very nice to have lots of fun to play with the setting. Again should not be the main sale point but sometimes it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good laptop

Delivery is ground so it is slow. The laptop is great and double boxed so porch pirates have no idea what it is.
