I absolutely despise this god damn laptop, it almost ruined my life. 1st, the RAM slots have the most awkward placement I have ever seen in my entire career. ... 2nd, the touchpad of this laptop is abysmal. ... Finally, this laptop's build quality is so unadulteratly bad that I'm very scared that I might snap it in half or break something outside or inside the laptop.
