> 3 dayAfter an exhaustive internet search for a budget laptop this laptop and the other version with AMD hardware are clearly the best buy for a 15.6 laptop. The only information I couldnt find before purchasing was the speed of the installed ssd. The ssd is a Kingston brand and has a speed of 1500 as measured with crystaldiskmark. I installed a faster ssd which measured 3000 with the same. I also installed another 4 gig of memory for 8 gigs total which also unlocks dual channel capabilities. Using the S mode Windows the laptop boots completely in 5 seconds. It makes an awesome general use machine with no waiting.

Greater than one weekThe charge port is soddered to the mother board. The charger port is broken form regular wear and tear on the laptop and cannot be replaced. The entire mother board has to be replace, meaning a new computer.

> 3 dayI like reading long reviews but dont have the patience to write them myself. If youre looking for a laptop that will handle any web application and very light gaming, this is your best option. Ran Minecraft at full settings solid 60 FPS. But dont buy this expecting to run anything more graphically intensive than some blocks. I bought a Crucial branded 8 GB 2666 MHz SODIMM ram stick. This made the computer go from 4 gigs to 12. 4 really isnt enough if you use chrome and multitask. Anyway, Ive only had this computer a day so we will see how it lasts.
