    Great lightweight option even for Linux

    I really like this computer for lightweight work. I bought it mostly to take with me to restaurants or libraries etc. because it's cheap enough I'm not worried about spilling drinks on it, or someone swiping it. I didn't even bother trying Windows on it because Windows is not my favorite. I however did put Linux Mint 20.3 on it (non-Edge version), with encrypted LUKS storage. All the hardware is recognized out of the box, including the WiFi and Bluetooth. I reduced the amount of swappiness and switched the /tmp and /var/tmp filesystems to use the "tmpfs" to reduce the amount of churn on the eMMC storage. There are only a few oddities so far: the keyboard occasionally will rapid-fire when you type a key. Sometimes have to restart the Bluetooth service. Also the trackpad sometimes just fails to respond. These are most likely Linux driver/firmware issues with this particular hardware most likely because it's cheap bottom feeder stuff. Sometimes "dmesg" shows some weird errors for ACPI and other subsystems. Sometimes it gets stuck in the LUKS unlock boot-up, requiring a Ctrl-Alt-Delete. But I can work with these quirks. The battery life is PHENOMENAL, which it should be with a 6 watt CPU. The screen is actually really good, too. And the speakers are rather good for this price-point.

    My laptop was very affordable and easy to set up. I have been able to work on various projects without difficulty. Considering the professionalism shown by my salesman, the quality and performance of the laptop I purchased at Best Buy, I expect to purchase again at Best Buy and recommend them to others.

    A new laptop for $199 I didnt think was possible. 5 stars for price, be prepared for slow operation, little storage and memory. Youtube videos will lag , but at $199, I'd say it you just need a laptop this is a great option.

    got this as a gift for my wife upgrading her chromebook to this... and i must say what a good upgrade it is... you can get everything done with this laptop and more which surprised me.. Also was cool seeing my wife being able to game using the xbox app as the Laptop holds up very well... if you want extra storage i suggest getting a external storage... but playing games off the Cloud Runs Amazing ( depending on your internet connection ) .. P.S TAKE YOUR LAPTOP OFF OF SAFETY MODE OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO PLAY GAMES OR USE THE XBOX APP

    Cheap laptop if that's what you want

    First, it's a very basic laptop. You may use it for basic web browsing or office work. Don't open many programs or many browser tabs. One thing worth noting is that this machine will be super slow until you finish the system updates and configuration, almost unbearable. You can't do anything during this period and the PC may be frozen anytime. It took me days to complete this process. Overall, it's a what I want for my specific use — writing and editing my draft. The purchase offers free subscription to office 365, which makes this purchase more valuable.
