I was shocked as how large this the screen was for this tablet! I only had a 12 or 14 inch screen and now this was 17 inches and it was just incredible! I typically wake up each morning and get on my tablet and watch news and so forth and it has been a very enjoyable transition from a Microsoft PC to this tablet and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Whrre is my cursor?

Not impressed with the screen. Colors are not very vibrant
Keyboard is driving me nuts. Making so many typing errors, it takes me forever to complete any type of writing. The cursor flies all over the screen. Difficult to find the darn thing.

Nice laptop, not touchscreen and a bit too heavy

I really like the laptop and is a great bargain. I thought it was a touchscreen but it is not. My only complaint is that it is quite heavy, wish it was a bit lighter.

Can't use it yet

Purchased this for my daughter at college in another state. She has had significant issues getting it to work. Once she connected to the wifi it loaded accessibility settings that apparently just put a blue box on a black screen. She isn't too technically inclined so has to wait for me to cross several states to get it going for her. May be simple issues, but not much of a user friendly startup process if she's having this much trouble.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
