I bought this around 8 months ago and now even today it is going strong :) Overall the screen is very clear for DVD,s and watching other things as well as the normal web browsing.
HDMI port adds a great feature when you have a tv and the 4 USB ports come in great usefulness.
Overall if yours looking for a laptop just to do work and net browsing then this is defo a good laptop to choose. If however you are looking to play high end games then this laptop will not be able to handle it.
