I loooove my little Acer. I wanted something I could bring with me anywhere. It's so lightweight and slim. I bought the little wireless mouse & it has been key. It also comes with fun apps. It's small enough to use in my recipe stand when cooking or bring to the basement to youtube workout videos. I run on the slowest internet speed so that probably has to do with some high CPU usage/performance as well as the McAfee program it comes with. There is no "start menu" to find basic apps like the calculator - I had to dig through the "Libraries" but the programs are there. The keyboard is small because the computer is small. So if you need to write papers or reports, get something bigger. But if you have them completed and want to edit them while on the move, this is the way to go. I do not recommend this as your primary computer, however I DO recommend this for your carry-around anywhere and get a LOT of things done companion. I LOVE IT and it's just what I had been looking for. see less

Nice windows 8 netbook, runs fast for a net book. I bought this as a replacement for an older HPmini netbook, and right from the start this has been better than expected , no issues setting up account, fast browsing and windows apps. I do not use this as my main computer I use it for taking to school with me for notes, and for web browsing at home. If you do bot expect this wonderful netbook to act like a superfast fullsize you will be pleased. see less

It is super fast! The picture quality is great, and the battery lasts a long time, even longer if you adjust the settings. It comes with Windows 8, which has a learning curve. Windows hasn't changed much over the last decade in a half so it took me a minute to adjust, but it actually has some really useful new features. I didn't want a tablet because my phone does everything a tablet does already. Also, when you really need to get some work done, it's just easier and faster with a laptop. This one is excellent for the money, and I am so happy to not have buyers remorse! see less

I had been searching for months for a reasonably priced laptop that had plenty of memory and could handle gaming as well as business operations. When I came across this one online at Target.com, I saved it and continued my search, but no other place offered a laptop with so much, for such a reasonable cost. It works great and it actually came in three days before the due date for delivery!! I love it, and don't know why I waited so long to buy!! see less

This is the first Gateway I've owned. The specs on the machine for the price were excellent - 6 GB mem, powerful processor, wide, hi-res screen, and big hard drive. So far I've had no issues with it, other than the obnoxious new "features" of Windows 8 for which I've had to find various workarounds in order to have a Vista/Win7-style desktop. No big deal. Just google on the problem and avoid the Microsoft answers. There's even a nice free utility that brings back the missing Start button. Bottom line - it's only been 6 weeks, but to this point I'm very pleased. see less

This laptop is advertised to have 8 GB of RAM. It does not! It has 6 GB. I bought this laptop on line because I thought I was getting 8 GB. [...] So far I'm happy although I had to download a "fix" for the missing start button in windows 8. see less

This is the best machine I've ever used, my only complaint is that it came with two HDD rather than one HDD and one SSD...I would rather have an SSD than two HDD, even though both HDDs are 2Tb. Other than that I have zero complaints. It runs everything I've thrown at it and has no problems multitasking. see less

Toshiba powerhouse

The last HP iI had was an HP MINI 210-series netbook. It was rediculously small, had only 1 gig of ram and came with a snail of a processor.... but it turned out to be the best computer I have ever purchased. it could go anywhere, do anything... photoshop, quickbooks, no problem! even played TES III Morrowind and NWN 1 beautifully. This Pavilion dm1-4310nr notebook has had a lot to live up to from my point of view. And it has! Magnitudes faster, slimmer design, still great battery life, and with added goodies like a HDD that can hold tons more "real" ram (4 gigs) and bonuses like bluetooth and wireless broadband support (and packaged 2 year free service from T Mobile) The only downsides I'd have to say would be the rubberized no-slip cover and glosssy screen bezel show 3x the amount of oily smudges than before. So some cleaning strips would be a great investment to go along with this product. see less

I love this laptop. Great size to travel with and easy to use. Only problem so far is the T-Mobile won't work yet. I can't seem to get anyone at T-Mobile who will turn it on. Going to try calling HP...anyone have any tips to get it working? see less
