Yes, and be sure to get the extended warranty. In fact, insist on it.
I am collecting those "TOY" laptops, as I like to call them, by the
dozens. They have no structural strength, and the first twisting of the
plastic case seems to pop a few internal connections on the motherboard,
rendering them dead. People who buy these things should start saving
for the new one they will have to buy next year to replace it.
You get what you pay for. A good new laptop still costs around $1000.00.
