Good value for the price. Just needed a basic laptop. I did not realize the hdmi port is a MINI HDMI port. Once I got the right cable it worked great with a larger monitor

I picked up two of these on a Black Friday deal to be Xmas gifts for the kids. I just got around to setting them up and do far am very pleased at the responsiveness and build quality. With no disc drive and an SSD, the form factor is very slim and the materials seem sturdy. No creaky plastic casing you'd find in other budget laptops. It is also Windows 11 ready which is great. I'm glad I went with this model over the 120 as well. The spec upgrade was definitely worth it. I'd purchase again.

Bought this laptop on sale for Labor Day as a cheaper option to use at our church. The first one arrived and immediately out of the package it was stuck in a boot loop. I drove to Best Buy, which is almost an hour from my house mind you, and when I brought it to them, theysaw the brand and heard what I said it was doing and they didn't even want to look at it. That alone tells me it was a common enough issue with this machine, but I said hey, what are the odds that will happen again, and went ahead and had them swap for another one. The 2nd one arrived, and what do you know, boot loop. I won't be making this mistake again. Looking through reviews just now, I see I'm not alone.

Very good FHD laptop for affordable price. Deducting one star for the initial fan noise when starting the laptop. Otherwise best value for money.

I just bought this useless laptop from
Best Buy 16 days ago, which is now past their return window. It started having an error where windows 10 couldn’t load properly, so tried to reset it. Now it puts me in an infinite restart/try to install windows loop. I just want my money back for this paper weight of a laptop.

Geo GeoBook 240... the little laptop that couldn't

Bought this after seeing very good ratings and reviews. Received it about a week after ordering. Plugged it in and charged it per the instructions. Didn't even open it till it had charged the recommended time. Opened, turned on, long story short I needed to reinstalled windows.
Called Bestbuy, told them the situation, they sent me another one. It arrived about a week later... same exact problem. I've NEVER purchased a computer in my life that didn't have the operating system properly installed and all I had to do was turn it on and start using it.
These were a massive disappointment. Ended up having to go to one of our Best Buy stores... we have one in Fargo and one in Bismarck... that being the one we went to. Once there, went to the Geek Squad techs, told them the problem. He had gotten another out of stock, same problem, worked on them for over four hours trying to reinstall windows. No go. So he made it good and I left with a great ASUS Chromebook... Asus being the brand I've used for the last six plus years.
I truly hate to leave a bad review. I'd wanted to give this maker a chance... I'd never seen a computer made in England before. This is what they give out to their students in schools. Well, no idea if we just got a bad batch or what, but as we couldn't even get any of the three we tried (my two and Best Buy's additional one) I've no idea if it's any good or not... once you are able to get it booted up that is. We couldn't so... I definitely would not recommend this to anyone. Go with brands you know and trust.

Sorry to say, I did not even set up - so cannot comment on performance, etc.
I found the screen to be unacceptable - uneven lighting, and if off just a few degrees in tilt, bad washout. The attached pic is an actual pic while booting.
Excellent price point for this hardware, but for myself, I will be returning....

This is a great computer for kids. My daughter used it mainly for online games and was a bit sluggish at times, but overall she was happy with its performance. A word of advice, since this is a computer geared towards a kid's use, make sure to protect it from the minute it comes out of the box. Invest in a really good case for this laptop and also extended warranty. Unfortunately, this laptop only lasted one month before breaking to a fall as it is light as it is a bit fragile.

Your GEO product doesn't work I bought one for my daughter and it didn't turn on, so I had to pick it up from her and exchange it for another one and when she took it back home It didn't work again. I am so done with this name product. I am very disappointed.
