Design – Optimal Use

A low cost entry level laptop with upto 5.3 hours of life.  Good for students. It weighs 5.3lbs and has a larger 15.6" screen, so it's probably not for "on the go" types. However, it has more than average amount of memory and a 3rd generation Intel CPU with enough power to handle pretty much all home or small office tasks like browsing, email, office applications, etc. Huge hard drive should handle any chores. It does lack a touchscreen.
