I needed a new laptop pretty quickly, so I decided on this one. I should have spent a little more and bought one with more memory. 2gb of the memory is dedicated to the graphics, so you end up with 5.7gb of useable system memory. The display is also lackluster. I really miss the backlit keyboard on my old laptop. Next time I will buy a higher end device. I may take this one back and get a better one.
