Pros: Pros: You're going to be hard pressed to find better specs at a $500 price point. Laptop itself is pretty nondescript, which if you're like me, is a plus. I don't want anything flashy looking. Keyboard is solid, I have no complaints. The 10 key is smaller than normal but still a nice to have on a 15" laptop.
Cons: Touchpad isn't the best, but some of the reviews are overblown on how bad it is. It is perfectly functional, albeit far over to the left. Screen is ho-hum on viewing angles, but not the worst out there. Upgrading components looks like a pain, and it is, to a degree. See below. Would be nice to have one of the USB 3.0 ports on the right. At least the HDMI and VGA aren't right next to each other so you can use both.
Overall Review: To access the RAM/HD you'll need to flip the laptop upside down, remove all the screws. Take out the CD drive blank. There are 3 small screws underneath there. It's best to start in a corner and pop up one set of clips. Run a small metal tool in the gap and you'll pop up the clips around the laptop. Don't yank off the bottom cover as there is a cable connecting the motherboard to the speakers, which isn't a ribbon cable and is easily removed. From there, you have easy access. Yes, it could be easier, but it is really not that difficult. Install process for swapping the HD for an SSD was about 15 minutes, most of it removing the screws. As for comments on bloatware - it has some. With Windows 10, once the computer is activated, you don't need a product key.I've found it's easier to just format and reinstall Windows. Download the Windows 10 Media Creation to a jump drive, plug it in and reboot. Hit F2 to get into the BIOS to change your jump drive to primary boot device and then reboot. Follow the prompts and choose advanced to delete all the data and install a fresh copy. When you get into Windows for the first time, check for updates and it will download the 840m driver. You're all set. With an SSD the install time is less than 20 minutes.
