It has an impressive processor that opens software nearly immediately. It handles everything from light web surfing, to watching videos to light gaming with ease. The quality of the screen is good. Vibrant without light bleed. It's exactly what you'd expect from a modern laptop with above average processor, RAM and hard drive. Fast.
There is no card reader or BluRay/DVD/CD drive like most laptops, so plan accordingly.
The laptop was easy to setup and I was able to quickly access my files. I love the the large screen that enables me to view 2 or more files together (side-by-side).
