Before buying this laptop, I first purchased an HP flip screen laptop from Target. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I knew there had to be something better on the market!
I tried my luck on this laptop and immediately fell in love. While the prices were similar, the level of quality felt incomparable. Visuals on the screen are decent quality, and the touch screen is perfect. It's compatible with multiple styluses and works beautifully for drawing and sketching.
The keyboard is not back-lit, but the keys are decent enough for the price point. I use a Macbook Pro for work, and you should not expect this machine to act like that type of workhorse. Even just after sleeping for a day or two with programs running this little guy requires a restart. However, I feel perfectly satisfied with the product I received for this price point.
There are only two opportunities with this laptop:
* Battery Life - while at first this easily went a full week without requiring a charge, it's now beginning to need one every 4-5 days. I'm a little leery that it's losing power after about six weeks of solid use - but since I only use it at home, it's rarely an issue.
* Built-in mouse - this mouse is kind of crappy. I use a trackpad for my job every day and find this unit incredibly finicky. It leaps, it skips, it jumps - it is not steady and takes me longer to click to where I'm going as a result. I largely use my laptop on my couch, but if I were working or studying I'd definitely recommend an external mouse.
That said - for this price point, you're not going to get perfection. What you ARE going to get is a VERY decent computer that can surf the web, type emails, novels, what have you, and offer a very solid solution for drawing when you want to mix things up a bit.
