Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this laptop to keep in my vehicle just in case I need access to tge internet more than a phone can provide while on the go. This little laptop is perfect for that task. This is not a laptop for heavy hitting computer needs. Also, I upgraded the HD to a NVME SSD which was a nice upgrade

Impressive value when it’s on sale, especially if all you need is a cheap MS Office box. This will not run games besides ones in a browser. Hardware wise, it has a mediocre screen and speakers but a good keyboard. It has an M.2 slot for additional storage, but non upgradeable ram.

The laptop I purchased in-store that is linked with this Best Buy listing is the ASUS E210M. The product photos do not properly correlate with the actual product received. The keyboard layout is different and there is no SD card slot on this model. Scroll to the bottom of my review for exact specifications from the box. The form factor of this netbook is overall very nice, easy to type on, and enjoyable. But that's where the niceties end. While the number pad on the touch pad is an innovative use of space, the on/off function for this feature is accidentally actuated during normal touch pad use. If the on/off feature were a keyboard combination, it would have been better. Overall the use of the number pad is not as good a using a real number pad but is infinitely better than not having a number pad at all, especially when using the calculator app on a netbook with no touch screen. The screen has horrible viewing angles even for normal laptop use. A tablet in the same price bracket would be a better viewing experience- especially if you wanted to stream something to watch. Productivity on this device is best done in the cloud within Microsoft Edge. If all you were to do was use Microsoft Edge for a majority of your work, this netbook is a pretty good option and will function for that. Anything more and the CPU wants to choke. Task manager shows the CPU hitting upwards of 100% just for moving the mouse across the screen. You're not going to want to have more than 4 tabs open at once. Doing anything while streaming a video will cause the video to buffer because the computer is throttling. However, the speakers aren't really loud enough to make streaming very functional without subtitles (I used YouTube and Pluto TV to test my unit). Battery life on this thing is impressive. You can thank the low resolution screen and the low power CPU for that benefit. If you're looking for something akin to a typewriter to work on Word documents or Excel while on the road, this netbook could be your friend for that. Despite the 4gb of memory and 64 gb of storage, I went ahead and did download Steam to it and a couple of low intensity games: Forager and Crypt of the Necrodancer. Forager is a very lightweight game and this netbook noticeably throttles while playing it even when optimized and balanced power settings are disabled. However, you can play it for hours on end because the battery life of this netbook is so efficient even at full-power. Based on the throttling, I didn't go ahead with Crypt of the Necrodancer. Setup took hours because this unit is very slow. If you were thinking about giving this to a kid for their birthday or Christmas (please get them a better laptop), you'd want to set it up ahead of time so that Windows 11 fully does its routine and updates and can be actually usable when turned on. And keep in mind that this ships with S mode activated, so you have to disabled S mode and reboot it in order to download anything that isn't in the Microsoft app store. As I said, there is no SD card slot. However, the I/O on this budget device is robust and includes a full HDMI port, a USB C port, USB A ports, and a headphone jack. I wasn't able to fully test the USB C port because my display dock has been malfunctioning, so I can't confirm whether it has display out through USB C but can confirm that data and sound do go through it. It seems it cannot be charged or powered via USB C, sadly. You're stuck using the proprietary charger for that. At only 64 gb of storage, once Windows 11 is fully setup and updated there is only about 20 gb of space left on the eMMC drive. While this is plenty of space for using Microsoft Office and doing some video conferencing, you're stuck with only using USB storage devices to extend the usability of this computer. Overall, I'd say most people are better off getting a tablet in the same price bracket because mobile apps take up less space and use less power. A tablet with the same specifications could be far more usable and versatile. The only reason to get this netbook is if you prefer the netbook form factor over a tablet and if you need a Windows operating system to do your work. But it is so underpowered for anything more than word processing and cloud computing. You're better off with double RAM on a pricier unit (and actual expandable storage). The box says: E210M - ID+Color : 8k - Star Black - LCD: 11.6 HD - VRAM: N/A - CPU: INTEL N4020/BGA - HDD: 64G EMMC - ODD: WO ODD - RAM: DDR4 4G [ON BD.] - WLAN: WIFI5 (802.11AC) 1*1_WW+BT - USB: USB2.0+USB3.2A+USB3.2C - OS TYPE: WIN 11 64BIT - KB LANGUAGE: US - POWER CORD: UL - ACCESSORY: 2CELL 38WH

Better than expected! Intel Celeron N4020 processor and SSD allows for fast start/boot times, doesn't run hot and is very quiet. The speakers are also surprisingly audible. If you need a small form laptop for quick work like documents, music and even stream or playing video (not HDR or 4K), this will not disappoint. Good battery life (not the best) Great travel or second laptop.

Great little laptop. Very small and lite. Using it in the field as part of my telescope control and data collection system. Not going to play any games or do a lot of data processing with the item, but is fine for doing microsoft offices tasks. Added 2 TB SSD for data storage.

Good basic laptop. Not big on storage or speed, but for basic functions such as email and web surfing this is a good laptop for the money.

This was an excellent price for the product. Got this for my nephew for school and it’s perfect for what he needs. It’s a good size and great piece of equipment. If you’re looking for something simple that won’t break the bank, this is it!

Good laptop, good price, this laptop is a good option for a not expensive laptop

Good laptop for the price. My son ised it for school.

Nice and small, and a little different with the calculator on the top where you scroll around at. But I like it very much.

Good working little computer I enjoy using it often

Bought this laptop for learning how to SSH in to a Linux terminal works great for that and other basic needs! Actually costs less than the raspberry pi I’m connecting to. Also bought 1 for my wife to use for her work (basic)she loves it the small size she can put it in her purse and take it anywhere

Love the fact its small and compact. It also allows me to save data. I use it for work so it is not as heavy to carry.

Needed a cheap laptop to plug into projector via HDMI to stream some TV. Didn’t need any bells and whistles, just needed basics and this fit the bill with an HDMI port on it. It’s slow to get going but otherwise does its job. I wouldn’t buy it if I needed to do anything more in it. The less it needs to think the better it will be.

Asus has always been an amazing brand . I would definitely buy this again.

Wish it had a ssd instead of emmc. it can handle the basic stuff needed for checking mail and browsing the internet

Purchased this lap top on sale at christmas time as a present for our grand daughter that she needed to assist her with her small business. Just enough lap top to use for small jobs vs her larger lap top (also purchased from Bestuy.

It was good till it stop working for no reason but yea u have geforce now and have this is this hood wifi fast and run the game pretty good so yea buy but mines just stop workikg and that not alot of gb so keep that in mind

Just needed a Windows based machine to open old software with patient data. Was pleasantly surprised and how capable yet small this laptop was for a very low price (got it on sale). A laptop about the same size of a tablet.

My wife is thrilled about it. My wife already had an made mini iPad, but wanted a laptop to be able to type and access the Microsoft Office features. She uses it almost everyday, and is very happy about this new laptop.
