    I just got this computer yesterday, and so far, it's great. And from what people have been telling me, for the $350 price tag, it's a great deal. When I first heard about the deal, I thought it was just going to be a very basic computer, which was good enough for me, but it's supposedly a better computer than what I thought.

    It's light, has a better Ghz speed than most more expensive laptops, and only cost $350!!!!

    If anyone comes across any problems with it, please put on here, so I won't be suprised. And I will do the same.

    I'm hoping I get my income tax by Saturday, so I can get another one if still available.

    If you really want one, and there are multiple Best Buy's around you, go look. I went around on Monday to the 3 Best Buy's around me, and lucky for me, the 3rd one I went to had it. I drove for at least 3 hours Monday looking for it. They sold out quick.

    And I'm loving mine. I'm loving the Norton that came with it. I love the auto log in feature, and the auto fill in form feature on it.

    How is everyone else's computer doing?
