Is there any internal/external damge? If so what are the effects on the computer. Why is the quality very good instead of great? Thanks

No damage anywhere. I had to delete some programs that I did not want. Also there was not a HDMI port so I need to get a $3 adapter to connect to my TV. Not a big deal but knocked it down to very good.

Steve, I have not found the screen resolution to be a drawback but to be honest, I haven't watched much videos on that computer to where I may wish it were HD. The touchscreen is very responsive to finger touch as far as I've experienced so far. As a whole I've found it to be a good purchase. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10 stars. My biggest concerns with this product are more a matter of convenience as to what I was used to in a desktop PC. First, the 4GB internal memory at times seems a little slow, especially if playing media off an external drive and not uploading it to the internal harddrive. Second, not having a CD/DVD drive take a little getting used to.....

JT has an Intel i3 proc which is a little nicer and the graphics card is a little newer. For most people the difference is not HUGE. So if your on the fence and you really want to save the $130, the VT is great. I am typing on mine now and I got it almost a year ago. A freind of mine also just got the JT after seeing mine and he loves his as well. Both are great computers. I have Steam on this and play Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 all on this on moderate settings with no problem. I also type reports on it regularly with no issues.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

It is an excellent desktop replacement laptop for its price. It has plenty of processing power and better than usual sound so it is good for games that do not push the video too hard. Unfortunately it uses the CPU chipset video (an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600) which is very good as far as imbedded 3D video goes but I am not sure it is up to the cutting edge 3D performance needed by some of the newer high-end games. I do not think it has a slot to install a third party card but I could be wrong about that.

Sorry. Don't know. I really like the computer, but the first one I bought had to be retuned because of a defect. So please get a reliable source to let you know if the warranty will still be good.

I'm very happy with mine. I have had no problems. It does have little "feet" on the back that raise the back of the computer a little, but I personally like that. This was a good buy!

I use this computer for many uses, one of which is graphics work with the GIMP (gnu image manipulation program) which is similar to Photoshop (in both capabilities and requirements). This computer can easily run the program, and has enough ram to open/edit good sized documents, but will lag on big files or if you run a processing task of any magnitude. Simpler processing tasks like adjusting brightness and contrast work fine, but lag on big images to the point that it is (slightly) annoying if you use the active preview. I also have a powerful home- built desktop, and it's greater speed is both noticeable and welcome after using the laptop. Short answer: it will work fine, but it is the minimum, more power would be ideal if photo work is your focus. If you only edit photos occasionally, this laptop should perform fine. Disclaimer: I cannot speak on the software aspect of the computer(win8) and how much power it consumes, as I wiped the hard drive immediately after the computer arrived and replaced win8 with Ubuntu 13.04

I don't know the technical aspects of the differences since I haven't tried both types with my computer. Sorry.

I would say the consequences are quite small. You're talking a second or milliseconds. IMO the 8gb of RAM is more important. I also prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8 This laptop is plenty sufficient for everyday use for the price. It is not a gaming laptop by any means. I highly recommend it. Plus, whatever computer/laptop you purchase, within 6 months there will always be something better. That is the nature of computer evolution.

computer itself is a terrific buy, however, for this same price range there are higher quality video and audio options. this one Erik beat it in tasks/second (raw speed, boot, etc) but it has a pretty weak, non upgradable video card. the amd version of this laptop has a better video card. overall though, I have no complaints mysekf, I just have a desktop if I need, too...

The PC runs very well on every game that I have tried so far. Although, the two things I do not like on this laptop itself is the wireless card and the resolution of the laptop. The wireless card built in cannot connect as well to the area's wifi than my own wireless USB adapter, which I bought myself, since I knew beforehand that the wireless card on the laptop was not that great. I get about 3 bars with the laptop's built in wireless card, while my USB adapter gets about 5 bars of connectivity. The resolution of the laptop cannot be changed, but I do wish it was a bit larger. I plan on being an external monitor or just save up for a better laptop in the future. Some games are unable to go full screen, but I can manage for the mean time. Other than that, the laptop is capable of being used for gaming. Hope this helps!
