It's fast, durable and still feels like a new laptop after almost a year of ownership.

The surface is made of very low quality plastic.

Touchpad

The keyboard is great and so is the touchpad; except, that the tiny bumps on the touchpad have a flat stop in the middle now.

problems with the touch pad; I disabled the touch pad and used the nipple.

The customer service was all right when I asked them to change the touch pad and fan.

Upgrading

I say this because after owning an Acer Aspire laptop for a year, it felt so outdated and slow that I had to upgrade.
