Question 2

Does this have a built in cam and mic?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 3

Does it have a CD-DVD writer burner ?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately it does not, however the other features do make up for it-but when i was looking for a laptop for my daughters i thought there was one already included since most of computers these days have one included

Question 4

Is this laptop good for gaming as in low-medium settings, good for if you're traveling or visiting a friend?

Accepted Answer

Truxton,

It does an adequate job for gaming in the low-medium settings.  However, I think it depends on the games too.  It runs World of Warcraft at medium setting with no problems, but WoW isn't exactly a system stressing game.  For the price, however, it is a very good buy as a secondary or travel gaming system.

Question 5

does this laptop have a dvd/cd player?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not.  In order to install software from a CD/DVD, you'd need to use an external drive (via USB port).  Most pieces of software (like Microsoft Office) are now going the direction of downloading instead of installing from CDs... unfortunately.

Question 6

does this have an ssd hard drive or a regular hdd?

Accepted Answer

We bought this for a relative in London and sent it without opening. It does have a great HDD and lots of storage I really do not think it has a disk drive though. All in all, this is really a nice computer for the price,

Hope this helps.

Question 7

Does this laptop have a matte or glossy display?

Accepted Answer

Not sure difference.  Slight glare to side so imagine is glossy.   (Windows 8 sucks though,  FYI)

Question 8

Does this laptop have an optical drive for DVDs?

Accepted Answer

No DVD included and can't install internal one either, would have to be external.

Question 10

I want windows 7 ultimate installed not win 8.1 is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Sure, create a bootable Win 7 usb driver and overwrite Windows 8. 
Use Nirsoft's ProduKey (freeware) to get the Windows 8 OEM license key before you do it. This way you can always upgrade or reinstall Windows 8 in the future.
