Rating: - Great gaming laptop - at least for casual gamer....I purchased the x205-s9810 back in July to replace a Dell Inspiron I had. I did it primarily to play WOW and get more than 12 FPS ;-).

If you want a laptop PC, don't get this. You may think like I did, "Oh, it can't be that big. And, it's a laptop, so I can use it anywhere." Not. You can't easily lift it with one hand. Once you put it down somewhere, you'll need to be motivated to take it somewhere else. Do yourself a favor and invest in some killer hardware for your desktop. |
