I need a very flexible laptop. I use this for my business accounts and creating documents, also for studying and online gaming. This laptop can cope with having a large online game running and still have a couple of word docs open and other browsing windows. I have had it now for 18 months and it is still very fast at loading up (this is always one of my bugbears with any type of PC or Laptop!) In my recolection it has never crashed.
I work as a childminder and have 3 children of my own under 5 and have occasionally returned to my laptop having abandoned it to deal with the children to find the others have been playing with it. They have opened 10's if not 100's of windows and the system has coped with it. It also comes with a handy programme called magic desktop which is like a whole new desktop you can set up specifically for your children and only allows them limited access to the computer i.e no kids getting into control panel and messing it up! Also has a good quality and large screen so great for watching video clips on or dvd's etc.

Would recommend this laptop 100% especially if you want a versatile laptop that seems to cope with whatever you throw at it.
