Question 1

Does this seriously not have Bluetooth?  I thought everything had Bluetooth nowadays.

Accepted Answer

Yes that's correct, it does not come with Bluetooth.
I bought it because of the price and it's core specs.

You can easily grab a Bluetooth micro adapter for like $15 if it's a absolute necessity.

Question 2

what software does this product come with?

Accepted Answer

It just comes with Windows 8, a trial version of Office, and the usual assortment of useless junkware that you don't want and will just remove anyway...
It's surprisingly powerful for the price and has great battery life, I've had this one for about 9 months and have had no issues at all.

Question 3

Weight and battery time?

Accepted Answer

The weight is fairly light because it is a smaller laptop. The battery lasts up to 4-5 hours, depending on what you're doing, how bright you want the screen, etc. All things considered it is a very reliable laptop and I am pleased that I purchased it. Only complaint is when turning on the laptop, the touchscreen takes the imprint of keyboard and kind of goes crazy. Once you massage the screen for about 10 seconds it goes away.

Question 4

Does it come with RESTORE CDs?

Accepted Answer

No it does not. It does come with the cd drive and you can make a restore cd before using the pc. Look up restore image on the internet and you'll find info on how to create these disks.
