I have already graciously received technical assistance to troubleshoot faulty keys and am returning the device for repair or replacement, but I have also received two auto emails asking me to leave a review with no option to reply, so here is my review. I do wish I had receiced a functional laptop. I am grateful it is being taken care of.

System worked fine. Had some black shining covering sticker on it to make it look new but wasn't bad. Removed the stickers from keyboard as it was blocking backlit light. Screen is perfect, CPU ram got more than I asked for. Good battery life about 5hrs video play.
