I use it mainly in the arts and for the university that play a few games, check emails, spreadsheets and presentation view (rather than always print everything) and to browse the Internet. It's just very convenient on the sofa: not always just drive up D you have the laptop.
I have only been few days but so far I am completely satisfied.
The camera is ok. We must stop not expect SLR photos. But for snapshots and skype she was good enough!
