Question 1

Does this laptop have a DVD drive?

Accepted Answer

yes it does HOWEVER when you receive it (out of the box) you will not be able to play dvds. You will need to download or buy software that allows dvds to be played. Believe me, I was not happy when I found this out. All the components they put in this thing and they can't add a little software to play dvds...

Question 4

Does it have a lighted keyboard?

Accepted Answer

It's my wife's laptop, so I haven't used it, but after a quick test with the lights out, I would say no. Tilting the screen down does light it up pretty good though.

Question 5

does this model include touch screen ?

Accepted Answer

From what I've seen, it should have touch screen, although it might not work when you first use the laptop. The 'Smart Gesture' system hasn't worked for me yet, and I recently repaired the program, to no success. You might need to uninstall it and download the program from the website to get it working. So far, however, it hasn't been working for me.

Question 6

Does this have an SD card reader?

Accepted Answer

Sure does.  If u have a 10 speed sd card it transfers at around 250MB per second.  Its pretty quick.  Hinestly has everything u would need for the price.

Question 7

Are the speakers good?

Accepted Answer

The speakers are decent. If you want to play music at a party, then this is not the right laptop for you. I think they are good quality  personally, but I rarely use the laptop without earbuds. Overall, this laptop is very good. The design is great and so is the speed. If you are a gamer then this is okay for casual gaming. The laptop is very thin. This is a good laptop for the price category.

Question 8

is it touchscreen?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not a touchscreen.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes I just upgraded last week

Question 10

is the battery removeable so i can buy extras and keep them with me?

Accepted Answer

The battery is NOT (easily) removable - that is, there is no simple latch that releases the battery like there is on may laptops.

It is probably replaceable, depending on your skill with laptop disassembly, but it will require various tools and familiarity with laptop construction.
