I don't recomend this computer , redolution of the screen is too poor , it has no bluetooth , surfing the internet it freezes and stopd working every half hour , the windows 8 is something new and totaly differnt from the other

The resolution of the screen is unacceptable. Also is you're buying a laptop from Amazon, make sure it is not a third party purchase, or you could be stuck with a restocking charge.

Actually that is what I need too. this laptop is good enough for us. some people do not like windows 8, but i like it. it is like a smart phone lol. only one thing bothers me is u may need to sign up for a microsoft account. since i am not a high-tech person, i have signed it up with my email. i still have no clue what that is for lol. well, the price is very reasonable for us. if you wanna experience windows 8, i think you should go for it. I love HP, my husband has the same one like this. my sister-in-law has an older model pavilion. we love it! hope i answered your question.:)

Of course! I'm using the laptop for that very purpose and its done an excellent job so far. I definitely would recommend.

Katie, if you have deft fingers this could be a fine computer for you. The keyboard is great for typing - but the touch-pad is oddly positioned and somehow combines excessive sensitivity (when you don't want something to happen) with sluggishness (when you do). I think of my G6 as good for fairly light jobs - though if I used it more, I'd probably get more confident about bigger projects. Programs run smoothly and quickly, anyhow.

definitely! its perfect for a college student. its portable and pretty efficient. it runs windows 8 OS so you need to consider that in respect of applications you want to run (windows 8 compatible versions may be required)

I can't honestly say, it is fine for Internet and watching videos, but whether it's fast enough for Any serious gaming? I have no idea. Probably a stretch. It is obviously more powerful than any Windows 8 tablet but this is far from a desktop replacement. I really like it so far for surfing the net. The touch screen works well and screen resolution is fine for average users. But this is basically an entry level Lenovo after all.

Yes! This computer is extremely fast so perfect for web browsing, streaming movies, etc. All the same things you'd do on a non gaming laptop!

I wouldn't recommend it. It seems like a good laptop but I had problems with it. After a week, it simply stopped working. After looking into it, this particular model is just faulty and is known to just stop working. Several people on different forums including the Dell forums have had the problem with it ceasing to function. Personally, your better off investing your time into another laptop. The one I am using current is from PC Richards and I was able to purchase it for around $350. Just look around at different places and im sure you can find something to suit your needs.

Yes. I was shocked at how good of a deal this was. It is an excellent computer for the price.

I am using this computer for taking online accounting courses. I would say I have average basic computer knowledge, and it is working great for me. If you are somewhat familiar with Windows 7, I think it is very user-friendly.

i am not a hard core programmer, and if you are a hardcore programmer and know your stuff, you might as well order all your own hardware and put your own laptop together. But as far as I know from my use of this machine, I would not trust it to do anything that would require a lot of memory or storage. It offers an asus web cloud storage software, but i don't use this. As far as internet browsing and research goes, how serious you make this is up to you, but the computer seems a bit flaky and will just start clicking on things i don't want it to.hope this was helpful.

This is good computer for light computing. Facebook games will probably be fine. I have found this is the best value for a good computer.

This is a good computer for the price. I watched alot of youtube on here with no problem.

Its good for most anything you want to do on the internet. This laptop has a lot of processing power and plenty of memory.

It is a solid computer and can handle school work well. This PC is not a recent HP model and will not do well with games that require faster graphics. One drawback to this machine is that it uses DDR2 memory which is usually more expensive than the newer DDR3 standard. Maximum memory for this machine is 8 GB.

Really depends on what applications you need, it is fine for browsing and can run office apps--but is NOT a workhorse.

No. A laptop is a bad investment, from a performance standpoint - if you want performance, get a small form factor desktop.

I don't recommend buying it for gaming and streaming. It doesn't have Office.for heavy duty operations, get Asus laptop

yes, yes, and yes, Not a bad machine at all. I suggest you get the Win 7-64 however and 8 GB RAM. Win 8 is too clunky. Must have been the Win 95 dev team who made that.

This machine should suit your needs if you are not playing top end games, or trying to edit video, or crunch through a lot of graphics. It's most suited to running office production applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and e-mail. It's suited to most internet capabilities. It may give acceptable performance on a lot of lower end games, too. Don't expect it to be some kind of inexpensive super machine though. It is a solid office machine.
