To put this review in context, I use this laptop for a specific purpose -- to stream music. It's connected 'permanently' to my stereo system and functions only to transmit signals from web-based FM stations to the stereo. As such, it's fine. It boots very quickly, picks up my wireless network at full strength, connects to the internet quickly, and does the job. But it would not be my first choice for a laptop. The keys are not easy to read in dim light. Unlike my previous laptop, it lacks a dedicated number keyboard. I don't use the trackpad because I've plugged in a mouse. On the plus side, the screen is bright and sharp, although a bit small. I doubt I'd want to work on documents with this screen. But, as usual, DCD offered a good value, free shipping, reliable warranty, and great customer support. This is the third machine I've bought from DCD and I have not been disappointed!

Worked right out of the box. Only problem, couldn't see an HDMI port.
