I really like this laptop. its very lightweight. its the I7 model, 8 gig of ram, 240 gig SSD, touch screen.
it boots to windows in less than 20 seconds.
its the best laptop i have ever had so far. it runs windows 8.1. im not planning on upgrading to win 10 for some time if ever.
I installed a program called Start8 (from StarDock.com, only $5 ) to get the start button functions back like in win7.
Start 8 works great.

My primary use is software programing. I write code, watch videos, surf the net, use libre office instead fo MS office.
I have to travel for my job and this ultra book laptop will travel well. the lighted keyboard is great at night. it has three USB 3 charging ports. I purchased a blue tooth mouth so it would not tie up a usb port with a mouse dongle. this lead me to the only bug i have found for this laptop. its listed at the bottom of this review.

I wish it had 16 gig of ram instead of 8, but so far 8 has been fine. the hard drive is only 240 gig. you can upgrade the hard drive but it takes the M.2 version SSD, not a standard size SSD. Im going to upgrade the SSD to a 500 gig SSD.
bugs:
the only thing i have found and i think it is actually a win 8.1 thing when the laptop comes back from a suspend, the blue tooth doesnt work. you have to turn blue tooth off and back on to get it to work. I have a win8 tablet and it does the same thing.
everything else seems to work without any problems.

good mid range laptop

I bought two of these laptops, one for my wife and one for myself. My wife uses it for work, MS Word, Excell, etc. web apps for her job. she likes it.
I have not had any problems with either laptop. they both work perfectly.
that being said, I am going to return mine for an upgraded model. Only because the screen resolution has a max of 1366 x 768. I write software for other platforms and a screen resolution that small is very limiting. Other than that I would keep the laptop.

the battery life is as advertised, 6 to 7 hrs depending on what you are doing. for general use I get 6 to 7 hrs. for more demanding use i get 5hrs.
I did purchsae and install Stardock to get the win7 start menu function back in win 8.1. its only $5 and is well worth the cost.

I have purchased 3 so far to stream tv to different tvs around the house.
all work great. no problems with setup. runing net flix uses a lot of bandwidth if you want to surf the net while someone is watching tv things slow down. the device itself works as advertised. no problems at all.

Bought this hard drive as a replacement for my sons computer, who's hard drive had died suddenly. He uses it for college studies and gaming. He says it works fine. installation was easy. reinstalling windows was not to much of a chore.

it came in a kit with the tablet and a 16 gig sd card. the case works, but it smells terrible. it is also a little to big for a 7 inch tablet, it would be the right size for a 8 inch tablet.
i only recommend it because it came in a kit with the tablet. otherwise i would not

i like it and i use it, but i had to hang a tag on it so i would be less likely to lose it. its small. it works well, no problems. would be good for a tablet because of its small foot print.

I bought this by mistake, i didnt read the box carefully enough. it was not for my Galaxy S4, was for an S5. took it back and got the right one.
however i do like the otter box for my S4, except for the screen protector which i can never get to go on without garbage under the protector touching the glass.

the otter box phone case is a good case. i bought it for my new Samsung galaxy note 4. the note 4 is a big phone to start with, the case makes it a little bigger on every side. it is thick enough to protect from punctures. was easy to put on the phone. i like the case but hate the screen protector. i can never get the things on with out garbage under the protector which touches the glass. i gave up after 15 minutes of trying to put the screen protector on. just using the case.
