halp?

Dad, like he usually does, has found some stuff on the lappy that isn't that great. Namely...
-Many reviewers have said that the keyboard is hard to press buttons on
-some have said that the speakers suck
-almost everyone has said that the outside gets fingerprints like crazy due to being glossy
-1 or 2 people said that the touch-sensitive volume buttons were hard to use.
-i'd have to order it and probably pay shipping bec. they dont carry it anywhere in the area.

As for the fingerprints, i dont care. I'm getting it to use, not as a trophy. The keyboard might irritate me a little bit, but i think i could get used to it.
Speakers might be a problem too. I'd mostly use headphones i think, though... but maybe i wont, idk.
the volume button...idk. maybe they didn't know how to use touch buttons (what?) or maybe it is bad, idk. it shouldn't be problem, methinks.

bottom line, i really like this one but idk if it would get on my nerves or not. i'd really like to try it out before i commit, but thats not happening.
any advice?


EDIT: few hours later
turns out that they have the same laptop in bestbuy, just 500GB memory, 4GB RAM for $700.
makes me go O___o;; but i was willing to go $650 for an all around smaller one. what's 50 more for a gigantic one? is it worth it? how long to newer laptops usually last nowdays?
