GeoBook 120 - Perfect for the kids
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The laptop was very easy to remove from the package and get running shortly. I had to have it plugged in at the start because the battery had a low charge.
With a resolution of 1024x768 (768p), it's not the best screen out there, but it is visible and works well. When I look at it from a very specific angle, it looks like there might be a messed-up pixel, but my wife and kids can't see it.
It comes with 4GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, which is plenty in today's age of cloud storage.
We homeschool the kids, so this is a fantastic budget laptop we can let them use without much concern.

Absolutely Great for Home Schooling

This computer is the perfect answer to homeschool life. After receiving the computer and setting up (Comes with Office 365 for a year which is awesome), it worked perfectly for our child to do her online learning. This computer's performance is great, we put some small games on the computer for her to use for learning, and they worked flawlessly. I have absolutely no complaints about the computer.
On another note, the computer charges super fast, and the battery lasts quite a while.
The computer itself appears to be made very durable (For children).

Well my kids are crazy about the GeoBook! It is their first real laptop, and it does everything the grown up computer does! They have been playing math games and word games non-stop! Highly recommend!

Not as expected but OK....

Ok but not entirely as expected. I purchased 2 of these for Christmas gifts and both have a funky blue hue to the screens that isn't pleasant. They are very laggy even for simple games like Roblox or Minecraft, for which the laptops were intended. In addition, there are issues with the laptops in regard to ability to download things from the microsoft store. Several items on both computers state there are errors when trying to download and refuse to update/download properly. One of which includes the drivers for Minecraft, which is the entire purpose of the laptops in the first place.

We had to send the first one back as the screen went black the same day we received it , my gg.son was so upset because he had literally been counting the days until it came in ,I called customer service and the young lady was SOOO helpful , she took care of the return shipping and amazingly because of the holidays she put in for another one and we got it very quickly , he is loving it and as soon as he gets ungrounded he can really start enjoying it ...lol, thank you Best Buy for such quick service.Will see how the games he loves to play work and i'll be able to give a better review.

Kids Gaming Laptop

Great laptop for gaming. The mouse pad is really tricky though. Very sensitive. When surfing web, new windows open constantly due to barely touching pad. Other than that, it's great.

one good and one bad We

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We bought of these for Chrtstmas Presents. 1 no problems not fast but ok for the price. Other must have been a return as when I went to set it up, wanted an email, not a pin number. That was as far as would. When I took it back no more in stock. I think I was fair and if it just been on the bad one, it would have been worse.

black screen

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
very sad. I got the lavender colored one, was so excited, but after a couple weeks, it had a problem. at first I thought it wasn't turning on at all, but my husband realized it WAS on, just VERY dim. there was no way to get the brightness up (which I had not put to that DIM level), because you couldn't see the screen to adjust it. (or to reach the settings screen to do some trick I found online). The buttons didn't work at all, using ANY combo that I saw online. The Geo people are SO hard to get in touch with over the phone, we just decided to return it through best buy.

Christmas Chromebook

This was purchased as a Christmas gift, so I can’t rate the Chromebook based on my personal experience. However, the reviews were good and the service representative with whom I spoke was extremely helpful.
