That depends on what you're going to use it for.

A Ferrari isn't a bad car, but if you only use it to bring your children to school it's not the best choice.

I would advise to look for another laptop. there are other brand with a much longer life expectancy (mine functioned without problems only during the first month). Laptop body is very flimsy (compare to lenovo or asus) and heavy. touch screen gets dirty very fast. I bought it because of high screen resolution and it was suppose to be faster and more powerful than comparable laptops, but now that I bought another cheaper laptop, I would say this is not the case.

good luck.
