I bought this computer as a secondary computer to augment my online business, because I tend to overdrive processor speeds with too much work all at once.

There are 3 USB ports but no HDMI, which I don't mind, but some might.

It's a great computer but it still has all the normal glitches of a Windows based system.

The spacing on the keyboard is somewhat tighter than on HP and Dell laptops; it can be hard to adjust to this.
