    I don't know yet. I know my dad purchased it a few years ago, and since got another computer. So I am taking this one and redo'ing it for my son.

    Ok, I got the S3 in my possession. It's running win7 at the moment. I have to get all the emails off it because a lot of them are very important. I know the hard drive was replaced. Was the SSD on board in this thing or was there just a hard drive in these? I know I have a SSHD in my dell. I know it's pretty fast, nice and light. I need a few things for it like some rubber feet installed on the bottom. It has a 500gb hard drive, and 4 gb of ram. Once I get the emails off it, I am installing windows 10 on it. I really like this little computer. Smaller and lighter than my oldest son's MacBook air.
