(More customer reviews)The laptop is good I purchased a black one and this red unit. I needed a good laptop at an excellent price and these fit the bill. The processor is adequate, not as fast as some of the laptops that I have owned, but it has yet to stall out on anything. It seems to take some time to launch programs when Windows is first loaded, this is probably due to a smaller cache on the processor. Once Windows has fully loaded this computer has handled every task that I have thrown at it so far. The battery life is over 3 hours almost every time that I have used it on battery power. When I watched a movie it seemed more like around 2.5 hours, but then again I didn't have a stop watch going. The Blu-ray player is a huge bonus, I haven't watched any blu-ray movies besides the bundled feature disc, but I have used the HDMI to hook the laptop up to our TV and it worked great.
I was afraid that the red laptop would be an unattractive computer, but it is not. It's more of a burgundy than a red, as a matter of fact it matches perfectly with my wife's LG enV3 cellular phone.
The plastic case feels cheap. I'm not sure if this is because of the fake wood grain pattern on the unit or the actual material used, but this laptop is one of the lightest full sized laptops that I have owned. (Probably because of the plastic type) One of my favorite laptop quality test is to grab it with one hand by the corner with the screen open to see if it is rugged enough not to flex. I owned one lightweight laptop in the past that flexed/bent and made a cracking sound every time that I held it with one hand. This one is sturdy.
The laptop came with the new free version of MS Office, that is feature limited and supported by ads. I took this version off, but I can see it's merits if I didn't already have a full version of the MS Office.
My only complaints is that the keyboard has some keys re-arranged. The , , , keys are all located on the arrow keys and require a function key press to work. The other problem would be the lack of a Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll lock LED. An icon shows up momentarily on the screen when the button is press displaying the status. This means that the user either has to remember the state of each key, type the text and hope that it is in the right case or tap the key to see the status instead of just glancing over at the lights near the keyboard.
