Wow terrible computer. For $700 you can get an ultrabook (albeit a lower end ultrabook) but it still has a modern i core processor and is super thin and light. Far better then that piece of crap.

Its Amazon. I bookmarked it earlier in the year, looked really good back then. In retrospective it looks bad. I'm making plans because my laptop is 5 years old and doesn't have the new features like SD card reader and much more things, it's also acting up weird sometimes.

But I'll probably go with the ultrabook in a couple of years. Right now my finances are not good, they are better than before, but still not as good as to where I want to be.
