  • Summary: Was exactly what I wanted: an inexpensive, complete (keyboard, monitor, webcam, Windows 7, etc) solution for my daughter for X-mas, capable of running games, doing Skype,
  • Pros: Having a real video card in a laptop sold me on it. No problems running games or anything else on it so far. Getting great frame rates.
