Anything better at this price range for basic word and excel usage, surfing, and watching some video? Not looking for something for gaming. I prefer intel and windows OS.

Using this computer for web browsing, when I have many web browsers open and many tabs open, the screen fades to black in the browser I am actively using, and I need to close the entire browser and reopen it with fewer tabs. When a browser fades to black, the other browsers still work fine. It seems to be about overloading the memory.

If I limit myself to only have 4 browsers open with only 3 or 4 tabs in each, it runs fine.

To do serious web browsing, I would upgrade to 16gb ram.

maybe someone can weigh in on the processor and screen but here's a few good things:
at least it has a c port. too bad it's data only.
comes w/ 8gb RAM but also has an open slot for more memory, very unusual in this day and age. it's an easy upgrade and, no, it does not void the warranty.
no backlit keyboard but who types in the dark anyway?
has a built-in card reader, tho it doesn't say what size.
lastly, you'd be buying from best buy, where returns are easy peezy, i hear, with no penalties.
anyone see anything better in this price range or any deal breakers?

How about sending a few words about the model itself? Like, how do you like it? Anything you don't like? Any problems?

Nice and responsive. upgraded the ram easily by taking off the back and putting in a 16gb stick in the open slot.
