Do not buy

My daughter is off at college. This computer never even made it through the second semester! Turns off suddenly and will not restart. Save your money!

Awesome

This laptop is awesome.. It will do everything you want it to.. I have played World of Warcraft on it for 6 hrs straight and it runs like a dream.. As long as you have a good utility program to get rid of unwanted stuff this computer runs like a pro.....

Only 1 con and not really because I don't like mouse pads anyway.. mouse pad isn't all that great so you will need a mouse if your going to game on it.. Otherwise mouse pad is fine

Good value

Shipped fast, works perfectly. A great value for sure and thank heavens for that since I'm going back for another now that my parrot got to my laptop and ripped off all the keys. I have a 5742 and it fits perfectly, just as advertised.

Might have worked, except for missing key

Unsure if the keyboard works since I'm convinced it's the laptop, not the keyboard that is broken, but as other's have noted, I received the keyboard fast (one day) but it came with a missing key. Use only if desperate/cheap I guess.

Outstanding build quality, fast and beautiful.

The laptop is wider than similar spec'd machines, great key spacing, flat semi-chicklet style yet comfortable keyboard, wide touch pad, minimal bloatware installed, great looking and perfect size, weight and speed for many types of scenarios, buy it if...

The LED display is gorgeous ; The build quality of the screen, outer casing and keyboard is impressive. Very solid and sturdy feel ; Lightweight, enough ; Fast, quad core with ample cache, 6GB DDR3 and a pretty decent graphics processor giving options...

No usb 3.0, doesn't effect me ; No Esata, nice to have but again didn't matter to me..and would only use occasionally ; No Bluetooth, didn't matter to me either ; No egg taken because 2nd day shipping was a waste of money since it didn't ship out til...

More than I expected

This laptop has taken any game I've played on it from Crysis to Borderlands2 and played it well. Everything on medium to high settings. Connecting to 42 inch HD Tv works great. Great inexpensive replacement for my busted gaming machine. Upgraded to 8...

Appears to do the Job . . .

I reviewed various on-line outlets for this model replacement keyboard. Other vendors wanted nearly twice the cost. I ordered this keyboard and, as one other reviewer noted, it came with a broken key. The Amazon customer service was superb and...
