I need a business laptop to do work on. I need it to surf the web, check email, edit documents, and watch the occasional video.I don't need a touchscreen (get a tablet). Or a convertible (again, get a tablet!). I previously had a "modern" Windows 10 Cloudbook that I HATED (see my reviews for more details), which was so dragged down by the software as to be unusable. So I went looking specifically for a Windows 7 unit even if I had to buy it used.I found this, and it works GREAT! I haven't had any activation issues, and the thing is stable and fast for what I need it for (and I can turn off the things I don't need it for, without worrying about Redmond remotely overriding my decision). It is a bit heavier than the other unit, but I just like to think that it fits in with the "ruggedness" of the metalic case.The only downside is that I drew the short straw in the used battery contest. Whereas others report up to two days of intermittent use without recharging, I'm lucky to get two hours. So, another battery is on the way.But still, VERY happy with this.
