Many thanks to everyone who responded to my question. Despite all the pros to buy this computer I still had a feeling that something was wrong or not quite right with it. I listened to my ESP and didn't buy it. This week it is $40.00 off, even cheaper. They have lots in stock as everyone else is buying laptops, so I'm going to buy it!! Once again thanks for all the help.
