I'm visually-impaired, so I hate laptops. Just can't see what I'm doing on most of them. This one surprised me.
My
Mother retired this year, so I had to get her a new computer for use at
home and while traveling. She mostly uses one for internet browsing and
emails, etc. So I didn't have to get something with all the fancy bells
and whistles. Didn't need top-of-the line speed, etc. Just something
solid and basic.
I set this computer up on a home network, and
was pleasantly surprised at the ease if was to operate, once I
configured the display so I could read it. Streaming video via internet
was smooth. Downloaded and installed all new updates in about 15
minutes.
The keyboard is solid, easy enough to navigate. The
touchpad is a little different, solid plastic, not LCD. So I did install
a wireless mouse to make it easier for Mom to surf. She's having fun
learning what all the new little icons stand for on Win 7 Home Premium,
instead of the older XP. Still prefers the old look of Solitaire over
this one.
Overall, with the included features, like the DVD/CD
burner, 3 USB ports, the built-in webcam, 250 GB hard drive, built-in
card reader, and wireless networking, I'm pleased with this computer.
and Mom loves it, too.
