We use these for our mobile computing labs in a middle/high school setting. They offer portability, long battery life and because they have no physical hard drive (uses EMMC memory), they boot very quickly. They fit nicely on student desks and are easier to use than the 11" models. They are similar to ChromeBooks, but run Windows 10 instead of the Chrome OS. Office 365 and Office desktop apps and web browsers run fine on this device. It doesn't have extra memory and the processor is not fast enough to support gaming, photo or video editing, but it is more than adequate for Powerpoint, Word and Excel, YouTube, email, etc. This is a Celeron processor - don't expect it to do more than it was designed to do. It won't play Fortnite, SIMS, League of Legends, etc. Maybe Candy Crush! You will need to download software, make a bootable USB or get a usb DVD drive to add additional software. I would recommend storing data in the cloud or on a USB or external drive as they do have limited storage space. We can get about a dozen user accounts on a single computer as long as students store their files in the cloud instead of on the local machine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows S tries to force you to only use software that is in the Windows Store, but you can disable it and download other software. It gives you a warning that for safety and security you should only use software from the Windows store... This thing is embarrassingly slow... don't buy it, there are better options at a similar price
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This would be a great model for a young student to manage homework and school reports, definitely! Unfortunately due to the limited storage space, and the fact that a majority of it will be used by Windows 10 and Office, we do not recommend adding any additional software to the laptop's internal storage. You can utilize cloud-based storage such as OneDrive or DropBox, or use a USB thumb drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My answer is NO! and a Firm No! please save yourself the head ache and come up with another 200 dollars to buy a lower end i3 processor of any brand and model laptop. You will thank your self. Make sure it has modern wireless AC if possible and more ram the better. Bonus solid state drives. But expect to pay more money. A solid upgrade solution is solid state however
