I purchased three of the same laptops for three teenage boys. It is the perfect size for them. The blue color is pretty cool. I orderd unique skins for there laptops. The only downside to this laptop is the flash memory. As soon as we got the laptop setup and installed, it was almost out of space. This Dell is mostly great if you are saving alot of information on the cloud or flash drive, and not on the laptop. My boys do not seem to mind at the moment. They mostly use it for school and web surfing.

The weight, size and battery life are exactly what we were looking for. We thought the 32GB memory would be enough because of the external microSD slot. But, we have found that there are many programs and apps that cannot be run from the external slot. So we are out of memory after adding only a few programs and apps. Now we spend a lot of time managing the internal memory. We still like the external SD slot because all of our files can be stored there. Next time I would opt for 64GB. Otherwise, it's a great little unit.

What do you get for $200.00? Enough computer and programs to do the vast majority of what any everyday computer user needs to due with the exception of gaming. You might even get more than what you pay for with this particular little computer. Nothing fancy, however really portable and has more capabilities than what I had expected. MAKE SURE TO PURCHASE AN EXTRA THUMB DRIVE AND/OR MICRO SD AND/OR EXTERNAL DRIVE FOR EXTENSIVE PORTABLE STORAGE NEEDS AS YOU WON'T STORE MANY PICTURES OR VIDEOS ON THIS MODEL - but as we say around here "That ain't no big deal".

Great low cost Linux Laptop

For the price point, it's an amazing laptop. With the installed Windows 10, it was good, particularly after deleting some third party apps. But after deleting Windows, and installing Fedora 23, it really shines. I'd been looking for a low cost solution for a travel laptop - one with a minimal install, and one I didn't mind losing. This one is perfect for that - it's small, light, gets great battery life, and has a decent keyboard, screen and trackpad. I used it all afternoon yesterday, forgetting that it wasn't my other high end one. Wifi and compute are good too - the Fedora 23 updates were close to a GB, and they downloaded and installed quickly. Make and gcc ran quite quickly too.

The price I was looking for and the software I needed on this device was everything I was looking for. The color was my son's favorite color and it was a great brand name. I will continue to shop at best buy for future. I will tell people to shop there for there great prices as well.

This is a great first laptop for my 4th and 1st grade children. It is slow compared to my and my husband's computer, but a great price and works fine for what they need it for. The kids love the color and it is nice not to have them stealing my laptop to do their homework, which mostly involves doing online research and writing Google Docs.

My son wanted a laptop he could do school work and play some games on. This isn't a hardcore gamer laptop but works for the ones he likes to play. I was going to add more memory to it but it does not come apart like other ones do. That's why I gave it 4 stars.

So light and so good! Battery lasts ALL day. Not the fastest, but definitely well worth the price. Came with 1 year of MS 365 for free. That in itself is worth $100. Bought a second one for a spare.

This computer is good for teens who need it just for researching and writing homework assignments. Computer doesn't have a lot of memory so games are not recommended. Strictly for school use.

I found this after getting a very basic ASUS laptop that was a complete dog.
This unit it small, light, attractive and performs well enough to be useful. Web browsing is a bit sluggish, but on-board programs perform pretty well. The only issue is the 32gig drive limits you on how much you can install, so you'll want to use mobile friendly apps unless you can do a little tweaking like I did. I dedicated a 128gig mini-thumb drive and set it up as a drive in Windows to allow programs to be installed there instead.

Great Laptop for surfing the web only

Unless your buying the laptop at really good bargain you should spend the 50 - 80 dollars more for a hdd base laptop. This laptop is good for surfing the web and writing documents and that's all. It doesn't weight much and is very portable. 32gb of space is not much and the ps takes a big chunk of it.. The 2gb of ram limits on how many window tabs you can have open and performance change is noticeable. Overall this laptop is great if all you need to do is check emails , write documents and surf the web.

I like that it's small enough to take with you, only slightly larger and a tablet. Great if you just want it to read and send e-mails and go on the internet.
