I've always had problems in the past with Centrino and Celerons freezing up on me...but a lot can change in a year....hopefully the newer technology is better,,,all in all,,,,it sounds as if you made a good choice,,,as long as you're happy I am happy for you...I just have to remember that what my laptop is good for me may be to slow for you...anyways,,,,as long as we see you on YT all the better,,,God Bless....
