Well it is a big and sturdy type of a laptop which I do not like, but for the price I didn't mind too much. For a young 10-year-old, I would normally say no, but at the price they are going for now it is great deal. It actually has a DVD player in it which is a rarity for a full laptop and not one of those 10 " screen tablets...which in my opinion would be fine for you grandson and playing games. But he would grow out of it very quickly and the Lenovo (which is a great company and makes the best laptops for business in my opinion) would do so much more...it has way too many games already installed on it which to me is bloat ware, but to your grandson would be a positive. The screen is big enough - 15" to help him from going blind looking at some of those before mentioned tablets. It has good stock speakers and it can handle quite a bit of software like MS Office, etc... the big boy stuff which would probably translate well for his homework and to be able to run a bunch of those games.... I would not recommend if he is into some of those serious games (but then you would not be a very good grandpa for letting him play with those big boy graphic games. Not too many USB slots (2) but expanders are dirt cheap and it has other useful slots as well. Has a computer HDMI out interface to connect with any LED TV with a corresponding HDMI in up to 4K HD TV HDMI, and it works very well duplicating the screen from the laptop. Have not used it to run any Kodi or software like that, but I am sure it could handle it. I think in summary at that price they are going for you could not go wrong. Comes with Windows 10 and the keys are big and easy to get to. Some complain that the shift and enter keys are the same size.... but again for $279 and even less at $179 today you can't go wrong. Screen is bright and detailed enough Looks great. So yes is my answer. But opinions are all relative are they not? Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably not fast enough for on line gaming, but otherwise a great machine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That will depend on the programs he will need to install and use and the requirements of the games. We recommend you check with your grandson's school, check the school's web site, for recommendations on laptop configurations. You can also check the game's software publisher's web site for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this would be, depends what games though. If you are going to be installing high resolution games (first person shooter, RPG, etc.) you will want to check the game recommendations and match them up to the laptops specifications: Hard Drive Capacity 500 gigabytes Hard Drive TypeSATA Operating SystemWindows 10 Processor Speed (Base)2 gigahertz Processor ModelAMD A6-Series System Memory (RAM)4 gigabytes Graphics AMD Radeon R4 If the games require higher than the above specifications, the game won't work to it's full capability or at all. Most games should work though, for this laptop.
