I really am enjoying this laptop. The graphics are great, and it is very fast. I do a lot of work with photography as a hobby, and there is plenty of storage. The speed of the processor is very fast. The front edge of the computer is pretty sharp and uncomfortable on the wrists. They would do well to round it off a little, but that is my only complaint.
