10/31/2014 1:44:19 PM The computer was my neices'. She gave it to me a couple of years ago. Until I can afford a new PC , this will have to do.Also it is a laptop. Which you probably already know. With regard to the fallowing question; Is this computer running slowly? Sometimes it seems to take forever and other times it is just fine.I don't know if I am correct in saying this---> but it seems like the computer runs slower during peak use. Meaning more people are on the network! I don't know.

7/22/2017 8:10:22 PM This is an older laptop that I use for writing and for surfing the net. It is not very fast, but that is because it is an old one with Vista on it. I am not even sure when I purchased it. I am guessing 2010, but it may not be correct.

7/2/2011 7:17:11 AM It has always made the cursor jump back into text I have already typed. It does this regardless of typing in Woerd, Excel or email. It does it so often I have to watch the screen to type so it will not ruin text.
