    Had it for about 2 days before ei took it back, it got really slow and would take forever to do anything within this time period so I returned it. Note that I have fiber optic internet.

    Bought this for our grandson. He absolutely loved it. Worked great. Only problem is, all of a sudden, NO SOUND. Thought maybe he muted it. NOPE. it says no speakers found. Think it had something to do with an up date. Not exactly sure yet. Still like it though.

    I bought this to run one program and for that it’s perfect. This is more of a web machine than production machine. Small hard drive and processor isn’t winning speed records but if all you need is a web machine this one is nice.
