Pros: Got this for work: word processing, internet research, etc. It has worked very well for that. Good value for the price.

Cons: Got the machine in February; initially it functioned very well. Starting about 3 weeks ago, the trackpad starting acting oddly, not being responsive at times and at other times, moving the cursor without any input. I bought a mouse to use, but the problem involves it too, and has gotten worse. i have no cursor control without having two fingers on the trackpad at all times, and that is starting to fail now too. Very disappointed.
