Don’t buy it save yourself the time and money! It starts to slow down and not work properly after a couple of weeks.

This laptop is a good budget option for low power users. I picked it up for my young kids to use and learn on. I'd plenty fast for doing documents, internet or video. I wouldn't try to play any intense or newer games on it.
Windows S takes a little getting used to app availability wise but it's not bad. It does allow you to switch to a standard windows but warns you there will be a performance hit and you can't switch back to S.
The screen is nice, bright and colorful. The laptop is a little thicker and heavier than the premium models but I honestly like that for my use case as the kids will not take care of it like an adult and it feels like it's more solid than my other thin laptops.
The battery is great. I haven't run it all day between charges but I could see it lasting for almost a work day, definitely a school day.
I'm impressed with this laptop. Honestly for the price you can't beat it. I'm looking forward to having it even as a distraction for the kids to keep the premium laptops from being abused.

Highly disappointed ordered a new one for college they sent me a used one and refused to return it, now I have to pay 100 dollars for them to try and reset it. Would not recommend.

If you are looking for an affordable, small, lightweight, ultra-portable basic laptop to take with you on the go, this may be exactly what you are looking for!
Out of the box you wouldn’t know that this is a budget laptop. It looks very well made and feels sturdy. The keyboard has a nice feel to it, and the screen looks great for what it is. The only thing I did notice is there is a little bit if flex in the keyboard when using keys in the center of the keyboard. But other than that, I have no complaints about the design, form factor, or feel.
Now, keep in mind, this is a budget laptop that is meant to be taken with you to do very basic tasks. You aren’t going to be playing Elden Ring on it or anything like that. This is designed to be a full Windows machine to do tasks like checking email, websites, doing word processing, maybe editing photos and watching streaming video. It just doesn’t have enough power to do a lot more than that.
It boots up in a matter of seconds after the initial setup process, and feels pretty fast while you are using it. It has 4GB of RAM and a 128GB hard drive. So there wont be a lot of space to store large files or things like that. I didn’t open it up, but I am assuming that neither the RAM or hard drive are up-gradable. For ports, there is a full size SD card slot, 2 USB ports, 1 USB-C port, a headphone jack, and a full size HDMI out which should be plenty for most people.
As far as the battery life goes, they claim it will work all day for you, and I have no reason to believe that not to be the case depending on how you use it. Just as a test I played a full screen 4K video on YouTube to see how long it would go for. The video played for 3 hours without any problems, and then the computer kicked into battery saver mode and there was about 20% battery life left. So, you’ll have no problem watching a full length feature film or two.
If you just used it for surfing and word processing and checking email, I have no doubt that this would get you through a full day before needing a charge.
Overall, I am very happy with this laptop and you do get a lot for the price point it is at. If I had one wish, it would be that the keyboard lit up to make it easier to use in darker rooms. That should really just be standard on every laptop these days. But other than that, for what it is , this is a great laptop and a great value! I highly recommend it!
