I'm using it for the basics, streaming video is as much work as it will get pushed. I know a Chromebook will probably suffice for me for more than half the cost and I might still consider it.

What are the big red flags with this laptop? Is this a deal even or just a little off regular price. I saw the Dell $400 thread but don't have ebates so it wasn't as hot for me.

Your opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.
