    I purchased this little laptop for travel, and wanted something low price, portable and durable so if it was damaged I wouldn't have buyer's remorse. So far it has become my main 'go to' computer and I love it. It has taken bumps and drops and the plastic body and non glass screen are durable and easily cleaned. Not a large amount of storage but I use it for checking email, Netflix, and browsing while on vacation and it works very well. Would be great for kids. It does not have a disc drive but does have a USB. I highly recommend it and you can't go wrong with the price. The downside, I wish it had a greater color selection.

    Very slow due to the fact that it uses thumb drive flash memory. Very light weight and small and portable. The price was right, but it requires patience to use. I needed it for a couple simple applications. But since it's there I use it for any laptop use, and it falls short. Hardly any storage room but you could put a small thumb drive in the usb port to create storage room above the very limited amount that it comes with. Not upgrade able.

    It is a good travel laptop: lightweight, long battery life. It is good for basic internet but not for multitasking. Good keyboard. Missing is: light indicating when the battery is fully charged but for this price it is acceptable not to have it.

    If you want something to use for the Internet, this will work. I have not loaded Office 365 on it yet, but soon. It loads fast and closes just as fast, but the 2gb of RAM is noticed, it can be a bit slow. But I got this for the small size and for surfing the Internet and possibly for a student in the house, so it serves it's purpose. I will buy something more powerful to use as a regular tool for the Internet at home.

    I purchased because I wanted to be able to use the Word for college and not take my big laptop. Size is great, appearance is nice, storage space is really small as already known, very slow as well... Wanted something cheap and easy to carry but now I have to carry either a external HD or flash drives with me.

    You can't beat the price! It doesn't have a lot of memory space but I found a 125gb usb on sale on Amazon and changed the settings to back up to the usb. Works great!

    Old laptop died. Needed inexpensive replacement until could purchase better touchscreen laptop. The one purchased is a good one for using in the interim. Size is very compact and easy to take on trips. I do miss the touchscreen and plan to purchase one in the next 6 months.

    Bought 2 of these for my twins starting middle school and they had to have them. Great price and perfect for what they needed them for at school. They're used daily and chathe fast and hold a good charge as well. Would recommend for a lower level student.

    I bought this labtop for my wife so she can do home work. One thing about this device is that it's really slow and it can't multitask. I should have picked a different one.

    For the price, it is a good laptop for surfing the internet and basic function. Maybe even for a student to use. But it is not fast, it can take a little time to do things, but that is probably due to the 2GB Ram.

    I needed a computer for my son quick and found this one online. I purchased online and he was able to pick it up within the hour. I have asked him several times if it is what he needed and he loves it. It was very inexpensive so I was unsure about this purchase when I ordered it but my son said it is perfect for his needs. He uses it for email, college papers and homework.

    I already had a friend ask where I got it? Best Buy was my answer. The next question was how much? around 195 was my answer. The laptop is cost effective and compact. It is just what I needed for work and travel. I'm enjoying it very well.
