I really love this laptop. Its a little big, but I like the bigger size as I have a tablet for smaller tasks. Even though its a bit big, its thin & still fairly lightweight. This has a DVD/CD player, SD card input, several USB inputs & a USB 3.0 input & a projector input. I didnt know if Id really need the DVD player or SD inputs, but I went through a lot of my old pictures I had saved from older devices & DVDs & they both really came in handy so I can consolidate my pics. I have had mine for 3 months now & have been very pleased with the purchase. I use it mostly for compiling my pictures, using MS Office products for business items, checking e-mail, a little surfing & streaming videos too. I highly recommend it. It gives value for money.
