I just received this laptop and here are my initial impressions:

The laptop is super thin. It is pretty close to MacBook Pro territory in terms of thinness. One inch is the sweet spot for laptop thinness in my point of view.

I was comparing this laptop to similarly priced Chromebooks and a similarly priced Dell Inspiron. The advantage over Chromebooks is obvious when you look at the specs. With this laptop you get two USB2 ports and 1 USB3 port. You get a larger screen at 15.6 inches. You get a full size hard drive at 500GB and a full size keyboard. The bottom line is that you get a full computer. I own a Samsung Chromebook and this laptop is better in every regard, except perhaps size and weight.

The advantage of this over the Dell Inspiron is the location of the speaker grills, USB 3.0, and the inclusion of a VGA port and an ethernet jack. As a part-time instructor, the inclusion of a VGA port is very important since I need to plug into a projector that uses VGA.

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite about 8 years ago for my wife. Over time, the power adapter port broke inside the laptop. The power adapter port inside that laptop was a barrel. The power cable and the barrel inside the laptop plug into each other. Somehow the barrel inside her old Toshiba broke off its mount points inside the laptop. Perhaps it was stress on the cable, since it sticks out quite far from the laptop when plugged in. It still works, but it is dangling inside, making the process of plugging it in more difficult. Additionally, the left mouse button broke on her old Toshiba.

Why do I mention this? I mention this because this laptop has the same barrel-style plug. The mouse buttons also feel very similar to her old Toshiba.

Pros-

1. Price. At $250 dollars it offers great value.
2. Full Windows 8.1 included.
3. Good performance on basic tasks.
4. Good amount of ports, including USB and HDMI
5. A lot of hard drive storage.

Cons-

1. Somewhat heavy.
2. Very generic design.
3. Not useful for graphic intensive programs and games.

For the last week I have been using this budget friendly laptop as my main driver. The laptop for the most part has performed admirably and has been able to supplant my desktop for pretty much everything. I will elaborate a little bit on the pros and cons and explain a little more on my experience so far.

HARDWARE AND DESIGN

Probably the first thing that you will notice about this computer is the generic design. The computer is very plain looking. There are not many accents or flashy materials. The overall appearance is bland. The exterior of the laptop is made primarily of plastic.

Now, with all the said, the computer is relatively thin. It is not ultrabook size but it is not one of those old bricks from 4-5 years ago. Unfortunately, the computer is not exactly light. At almost 5 pounds, you will feel this in your bag. Right now I am using the computer on my lap to type this review. It feels a bit dense but not uncomfortable.

As far as the display is concerned, at 15.6 inches it is bigger than the average ultrabook. The resolution is good. I have no problem reading text and browsing the web. I don’t like the colors in the display though. They look washed out. Keep in mind the display is not touch screen.

One thing I love about the computer is the amount of ports. It has three USB ports and one of them is a USB 3.0. I tried the USB 3.

This laptop was bought for under $300 dollars.

The purpose was for mainly word editing and web browsing and it does that perfectly. The responsiveness of the device is more than adequate despite the slower processor. The battery is excellent running between 4 - 5 hours on a single charge.

Just bought two of these computer's recived them 07/27/14 and I loaded Auto cad 2014 witch is a computer memory hog program, I did not notice any lag, I am very impressed with this computer. Called Toshiba and a DVD drive can be easily added to the laptop. Not that I would need it since you can download most newer software online, Since i bought two laptops I decided to just get one external DVD drive. The built in bluetooth is a plus that I did not know that it came with for a wireless mouse. I will definitely recommend this laptop.

People complaining about how it doesn't have a good battery is a plain out lie, or didnt even buy this, dont go and say " oo I bought this from best buy and they totally ripped me off" . Its very annoying and you have no say here.. So this laptop is very Awesome! Its fast. Cheap. And doesn't have that useless cd drive I never use. I love the overall look and feel of it, others say it feels cheap I dont think they know what cheap plastic feels like to say that.

It has 8.1 which gives you the ability to have the start menu again kinda. You'll love it for the price of $250, if you're looking for a $500 computer that has superior power and graphics and everything.. Go buy A $500 Computer! This is a lite pc for lite to medium work.

Since im a graphic designer I use Sai and PS quite a bit and it handles both quite fine, just dont run them at the same time, it'll lag a bit, the ram is high enough to prevent lag but is still upgradeable which is nice and easy unlike some others which requires you to "Disassemble" everything just to change anything or add a cd drive.

I own one from Amazon, Not best buy, target or Wal-Mart, thats what reviews on Amazon are for..things you bought from Amazon.
