2/1/2010 11:39:43 AM On the whole I've had few problems with this computer. I credit that not only because it's a good computer, but quite honestly I believe having CA as my virus protection has kept my computer safe.

11/16/2009 10:31:42 PM computer worked great with windows vista when i bought it and then when upgraded to windows 7, everthing kind of when down hill. the tell the computer to sleep, and then it looks like it is going to standby and sleep, but all the lights stay on and the fan and disk stays on, so i have to shut it down manually. and then every once in a while when i want to open itunes, it freezes before the window pops up. another thing that is a little crappy with it is whne i want to force a program to close through task manager, it wont do anything.

7/16/2012 10:28:13 PM After installing any new programs my wireless doesn't work. I always have to try different things to get it started again. I can never remember how to get the wireless to work. The wireless assistant isn't working either

11/5/2010 12:18:46 PM Occasionally, the computer screen shuts off and I cannot see anything. The only way to possibly bring it back to normal is to: 1- wait for a few days and hope 2- take out the battery pack and hope 3- take out the battery pack and hold down the power button. The NVIDIA GE FORCE Driver for this computer was in conflict with software and would shut down the computer for no reason. Eventually and update was found. The worst problems are related to typing when I hit a button ... such as backspace or even a letter several lines that were written suddenly disappear and only if I saved the material, such as on WORD am I able to retrieve words written. Recently, TIME WARNER has changed their television and Internet system here in Vestal, NY (Binghamton)... the result is both the TV and my comptuer seem DISCONNECTED through my wireless
