This is a nice, inexpensive, late model laptop for general office work and web browsing. The SSD hard drive makes this system super fast and stable, while the 16 GB of ram make most applications fast and smooth. Since this is a third generation i5 chip, you will not see the bandwidth and hyperthreading associated with the newer models, so don't buy this for intensive gaming, image rendering, or $applications. However, if you want a lightweight laptop with a small footprint for travel and presentations, you will be extremely happy!
