I hate this laptop. Slower than a constipated slug and keeps randomly getting stuck. Spastic is what it is.
I hated the last desktop. My daughter's Dell that she had to buy through university deal because it had uni specific LAN card (we are talking 1999), was a piece of malfunctioning shite from the first term. Cost us 2000 and she had to nurse it through her whole school career. They would never replace it. Only repair which meant she went weeks without usually at crucial end of term paper writing times. In fact there were a number of students suffered that same crap.
My next laptop will be an Acer.
My mom's first and only PC is an eMachine desktop bought at Circuit City in 2001 and it is still going. A bit clunky but WOW!
