I have purchased this laptop for my wife. Her usage is limited to Microsoft Office and web browsing only. nnnThis laptop has only one RAM slot so you cannot avail the benefit of dual channel RAM. I installed a G-Skill 8 GB RAM and it worked fine. nnnI tried installing Samsung 750 Evo and 850 Evo SSD in this laptop but it was not compatible. Windows will copy all files during installation but then fail to boot. There was no such issue with INBUILT 500 gb Toshiba HDD. In everyday use this doesn't feel too slow now. I will try other SSD brands later to see if they work. nnnThis laptop comes with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed which is a good basic and free OS for casual home usage as people spend most of their time online only these days. However I installed Original Windows 10 home OEM on this laptop as my wife is more familiar with Windows. nnnThe lid has a texture due to which laptop will not slip from hands. Build quality is all plastic and this laptop is around 2 kg in weight due to which this will be sturdy when placed on a table. nnnIt comes with 2 USB 2.0 ports and 1 USB 3.0 ports and HDMI port. There is no VGA port but that is ok. Hardly anyone uses it now. nnnThe charger cable is long enough. Battery lasts around 6 to 7 hrs easily on "balanced" power profile. nnnThe screen has a resolution of 1376x768 which means it is not sharp enough. At 1376x768 a 11" or 12" laptop screen is very sharp. Still, the colours are good and for the price, the quality and sharpness is fine. nnnOverall a very good purchase for the price.

Please don't buy this laptopnI didn't check the review and bought itnAfter i got delivery i surprised that it has no dvd-writer and even ether net port also
