This is a good basic laptop. It will handle all the basic tasks just fine. It will only get about 2.5-3 hours on the 6-cell battery unfortunately.
The build quality of the R-series is quite good. Not on par with the T-series, but at or above the level of any other "regular" notebook manufacturer.

Even though build qulity is not on par with T-Series.. It build quality is well above most laptop...

Perfomance wise it'nt that great
