A:AnswerFor doing an activity such as typing a book, web browsing and such, this model would work very well! It does not have a lot of storage for programs but a word document like a book would not be very large. I do not think you would have an issue.
A:AnswerYes, the storage is enough for Windows 10 Home and its associated system files/updates, the 30-day trial of McAfee LiveSafe, and the one-year prepaid Office 365.
A:AnswerThere should be enough storage for your files and the Quickbooks app, however I would recommend using an external device to hold most of your files as there is limited space for additional applications. The Stream series is best for light web browsing, video streaming, email and other small tasks. If possible, I would look for a model with a larger drive like the HP 15-DB0011DX which is just a small bit more.
A:AnswerWe 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.
A:AnswerMy daughter got this laptop to play Sims 4 on it and it worked for a while. She put some custom content and modifications on it - and it completely froze even trying to open the Sims 4 game. I tried factory resetting several times so that it could at least go back to where it was without all the specialized content and that is not even working. I asked a Best Buy rep and they said that for a Sims game to work that 8 GB would be a better bet if there will be mods and custom content added to the game.
A:AnswerIt does not have a backlit keyboard. It's designed for online use, so it has less storage than other laptops. However, you can add storage using a flash drive or Micro SD card.
