If this happens you need to unplug it and wait for the battery to run all the way down before you can restart it.
Price
I thought about reaching out the supplier, but decided it is not worth the effort for only $21.
The price has increased but still great.
I noticed the price dropped $21 from the time i ordered this laptop until today, when i started to write this review.
Shipping
I got it for school and it's still pretty fast.
Packaging/appearance
Easy to pack up in bag for travel.

There are several others i use that wouldn't install.
