Slow. Virtually useless. Skip and look elsewhere

Understanding that this was an older model on clearance, with a bargain price of under $200, my expectation was not much as this was supposed to be a laptop for my 2 young children as they are starting to need online access for school work and the occasional "gaming" (math & reading exercises in forms of games). So they aren't holding up our work laptops. All it had to do was access emails and a few light duty websites, unfortunately it's not even capable of doing that. Computer is SLOOOOW, apps and webpages take forever to load, a 3rd party browser seems to be intentionally hampered/interfered by the built in Microsoft variety. In the end, the kids still wind up asking for our laptops. Gave it a try but this is utterly useless. If you need just browsing and emails, a smartphone can outperform this thing 100x faster. Put this $200 toward something else better.

Got this computer for my 12 year olds homeschooling. It is a basic, but efficient computer, and a good size for her. It is able to be navigated easily and is a very pretty color! If you want something simple and reliable that doesn't break the bank this computer is great!

I use my laptop for school and it has a great battery life. I haven't had any issues with it. I wish there was more storage space to save documents. I suggest getting something to increase storage for this device if the work you are planning to do requires a lot of documentation.

Among I using the laptop, I believe it was a excellent choice. The laptop is more than I expected for the necessary needs to the satisfaction. I would recommend this laptop to anyone.

I bought this for my daughter because I wanted her to have a laptop but not one that was overly expensive since ahe ruined her last one. I wanted to have parental controls available with a windows laptop which in current mode is great.
My daughter loves playing roblox and I thought it would be a good laptop for that, however it doesnt hold up performance wise. Idk if it is because its in microsoft mode for me to have parental control or if its just the laptop itself but she complains her games are super laggy to the point where its impossible to play.
A lot of other programs she has tried to use have also been reported to be super laggy. It could be the current mode and breaking it from that mode into a regular PC might improve pe4formance but I am afraid to do that because once done it camnot be undone.
Its a great price for simple tasks if keepingbin microsoft mode but you are limited to only using microsoft only programs unless you decide to "break" it out of that mode which then it will be like a regular laptop and you can access any program you want

Surprisingly good little laptop. replace the 4 gig chip to 8 gig or you will not experience what I did. Celeron's always run better with more RAM. Get it out of S mode. Do all the updates, cleanup the mess using Disk cleanup or Microsoft PC Manager. Then use it, it will be a totally different experience.

I initially looked into purchasing this laptop because of the price, but it definitely has some great qualities. It's small and lightweight. It runs smoothly, though it does not have the most storage. I love the color and it gets the job done for while I am working from home.
