I find the CPU resources to be sufficient for everyday tasks. Gaming is possible, but not at high settings. The hard drive capacity is decent for storing files. 4GB of RAM is adequate, but adding more would be beneficial. There are enough USB ports for my needs. The screen quality is good for watching movies and YouTube. | ||

I upgraded the memory to 8GB and swapped the 500GB HDD for a faster 256GB SSD | ||
