Few competent in IT, I fully relied on the views of users. Although took me because there was such a convergence of favorable opinions in terms of price / quality there was no hesitation on my part. True, it's pretty powerful for what I ask, ie as single works, the screen is perfect, the pristine image quality, pleasant to the touch keyboard. My biggest challenge is to me appropriate windows 8.1, from XP Home, it takes a little time and a guide like "For Dummies"; Upon retirement, I have time .... so it's perfect. If you are looking for a good laptop at a reasonable price and that change does not bother, go there !! And I agree with the majority opinion.
