Well, i got this laptop a few months ago. And it has been quite amazing for me. At first it did become really hot. I didnt know why this was, but after a reinstall of windows everything worked out fine and it didnt become that warm anymore.

Specs:
Great specs(specifications) for this price! I could not find another laptop this cheap with an i5 processor. The i5-2410m is really quick. Especially with the new technology.

Gaming:
The laptop is not good for gaming at all. The graphics card is not that good, you can run small games on it like need for speed underground 2 but not something like crysis 2. But this isnt the main focus for this laptop

School:
I use this primarily for schoolwork. And this is one of the best uses for this laptop. I need to make multiple, long, projects and this laptop will always get me on wikipedia quick and open word fast.

Movies:
Great for movies etc, the sound cant go really loud. Thats not that great but im fine with it. I do enjoy watching movies on it, Its not really special but it can go through.

Conclusion:
A pretty great little laptop, isnt the one for you if your looking to play videogames. If its for school it will do really well!
