Good: Good/Decent sized screen, good keypad.

Bad: Mouse buttons break easily, and the battery life is awful.

Comment: This, overall is not a terrible laptop, it is wvry good for doing coursework/homework if you are next to a power source, however, due to it's poor battery life it is useless for travelling in the car and such. It is not awful at speed either, it's quite fast, but I would advise debugging this and cleaning it up if you want to maintain performance, I mean, I run a few games on it, not huge graphics wise, but they run decently. Well made laptop, I'd say you need to improve on the mouse buttons, and the battery life is, just, awful. Well made. 3/5 :)

Good: The screen, the keyboard

Bad: Touchpad, Battery life

Comment: I was looking for a cheap laptop just to server as an every day computer, this served that purpose well. The screen is clear and I can see/read everything and the keyboard is easy to use, large keys with smooth edges. It can run a few videogames (i.e. Half Life 2) on medium settings without any lag, so it serves as an everyday computer and a low spec gaming PC.
However,
The touchpad is terrible, the mouse buttons are very prone to breaking, both of mine are now un usable and I have to use a wireless mouse. and the battery life, if Im lucky I'll get about an hour on a single charge, usually I get no more than 40 minute of power. But I do not intend to take this laptop around with me.

Its not the best laptop, but its serving ts purpose well. 3/5
