4 out of 5 eggsGreat Laptop for the price

Pros: Great features for an entry level laptop. I have sold 5 of these with all customers reporting positively...after tweaking the OS and educating the customer.

Cons: Windows 8.

Other Thoughts: Lets face it, some people DO NOT like Win 8 in any flavor. Most are OK with it after I install Classic shell, give the a quick brief on tweaks to make 8 more to their liking and off they go. I did lose 2 sales to customers who wanted NO part of Windows 8...change is inevitable. I did install a test HDD and after tweaking the bios a bit, installed Win 7...runs great!!!

2 out of 5 eggsNot a good laptop

Pros: Like the keyboard layout. Doesn't get as hot as my last acer laptop.

Cons: mouse sucks. one button is awful. Screen has a dead pixel. too late to return and gatway will not repair since it is only one and not the main section of the screen.

Other Thoughts: would have gone with another laptop but was being cheap.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Laptop

Pros: Great Entry Level Laptop! Good features.

Cons: None with the laptop itself. I think Win 8 is good, but it might be a con for some folks. (see below)

Other Thoughts: I have sold three of these units...almost. The first two are working perfectly and the customers are very pleased. The third unit, sold to a good friend, came back the next day. They did not like Windows 8 at all! I sold them a different unit running Win 7. Some folks are OK with the changes in Win 8 and some just hate it...even with a third party Start menu!

5 out of 5 eggsCheap laptop for wife's school work.

Pros: This is pretty much a basic laptop like all the others on the market got this on sale for my wife to do her assignments from school. It's pretty light which is another reason for the purchase.

Cons: Came pre-installed with Windows 8 and the usual garbage programs that comes with all laptops.

Other Thoughts: Wiped the system clean and installed Windows 7.

3 out of 5 eggsDoes it have touchscreen?

Pros: Great specs for a low end replacement for my netbook.

Cons: Nothing in the details or any reviews say if this laptop has a touchscreen.
Running Windows 8 without a touchscreen is like taking a shower with a raincoat.
Does it have a touchscreen?

Other Thoughts: The overview is all about the pros of Windows 8 and can lead one to believe this notebook has one.
Ihave to buy one to find out??

5 out of 5 eggsGreat laptop. A steal at 349, but worth it at normal price.

Pros: Sleek appearence. Lightweight (not the lightest, but reasonable) 500 gig HD. Built in camera, which I didn't even notice while ordering. So... bonus. Comes with one 4gb RAM stick, but can hold two. (Got the second for 24bucks). Starts fast, processor is over 2Ghz. (2.2) Runs quiet and so far haven't it seen it go over 49°C even while forcing it to run at 2.2Ghz. Very happy with the purchase at $349 weekend deal, but would certainly do it again, and recommend it at the normal price. I am using this as my primary computer for everything except gaming (Mostly because I hate gaming without a full keyboard/mouse setup). The screen is very nice, and has a really high potential brightness. HDMI, VGA out, multipurpose memory card reader, numpad keyboard.

Cons: windows 8, touchpad, dual Bios modes which made it more difficult to get it to load a USB stick with new OS. Touch pad is super sensitive (like my ex)... touchy. Windows 8. (Microsoft knows they don't have to make bad OS decisions for ten years, release a good one like 7 and then screw it up within 2 years, right?)

Other Thoughts: I wiped it to Linux bodhi, and am loving the speed. Mostly this is for work, not play, so consider your graphics card need accordingly. Camera has some decent Res and the screen is ridiculously bright. (I'd turn it down but I am reconfiguring the keyboard settings.)

5 out of 5 eggsGood Laptop for the Price

Pros: I have sold three of these units. Except for the learning curve that comes with a new OS all three customers love this laptop.
Great features for the price.

Cons: None so far

5 out of 5 eggsNewegg you just do it for me :)

Pros: Newegg's shipping is the best...I ordered Tuesday, laptop shows up before Noon on Thursday! Not bad for Cali to Northern MI and the shipping was free! You cold not ask for more! I got the laptop for less than $323.00 a great deal!
This is a good basic machine for cruising the web, email and so on.

Cons: If I had to pick on something the speakers/volume are not really up to par

Other Thoughts: The only knock is the OS...not a big fan of Windows 8...but I knew that going into it :)
