||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for what I'm using it. I didn't realize that this was a Qualcomm Snapdraggon when I bought it, and it is running Windows 11 in S mode. I could take it out of S mode, but that is irreversible, and it's wiring fine for my needs.

I'm using it for school but I've also been able to play games on it at a decent frame rate. I'll have to upgrade the storage but it's an affordable start.
