Pros: Cheap. Does basic web surfing without any problems. handles day to day school work with ease.

Cons: the charging system where that cord plugs into the laptop started messing up about a month ago and would only work if you held it just right. last week it failed completely. I purchased this notebook at the same time as a friend because of the deal (his notebook will no longer recognize wifi) so I took his power cord just to make sure it wasn't mine. no change. so after 9 months of use the only thing i can do to operate it is charge the battery in his that he no longer uses because he can't get it on the internet and swap them out when it dies after about 45 min.

Overall Review: you get what you pay for $300 might seem like a great buy but paying that every year i should have spent the $1000 and gotten one that would last 4 years.
