Pros: -Sleek Design -Easy On -Nice Screen

Cons: -Trackpad is AWFUL. I type up notes in my classes and will accidentally come in contact with track pad...which will then, depending on how it's feel like that day, either elect to move my cursor to another portion of my notes, so I then enter a bunch of text in a completely unintended place or it will select a large portion of the notes I just took and replace with whatever my next text entry is, which is really ideal (Sarcasm) The other big issue is that the AC adapter won't work with every (a lot) of outlets. I've tried this adapter on many outlets and half (always the most important half) the time the light indicating charge will not turn on, which is great when you have another 3 hours worth of class and an hour worth of battery left, instead of just worrying about taking notes and what I need to do I have to worry about the battery on my laptop dying.

Overall Review: I did two months worth of research before buying this item. I look at competitors, price, specification and while I did read some things about the trackpad issue, I couldn't imagine it was this bad. The charger issue is just insane I'll have to leave class or the library to go home and charge my laptop or run around like an idiot trying to plug it into different outlets trying to get it work.

If I could return the computer I would
