My children’s computer has just about given up the ghost. Four years ago my husband bought it for me and then a couple of years ago bought me a new Notebook so the kids have been using it. So, I would have to say that this computer served it’s purpose well. But, we are now on the lookout for a new one. I have been searching in stores as well as online and have finally found one that I think I want to purchase. If I do in fact purchase this particular unit, then I plan on giving the kids the one that I currently use and keeping the new one for myself. Having a notebook is so much more better than a traditional PC. It’s so much more convenient and easier to take with me when I go on trips.
