    It is a little slow processing things but it gets the job done as long as your not doing a lot of stuff at once.

    Beautiful, small, lightweight and sleek! Smaller than what I was looking for dimensions 11x6, so smaller in length and with than a sheet of paper. But my daughter would have enjoyed it. I and she would definitely recommend it to a friend or family!

    Wife bought this on black friday and loves it. Uses it constantly for school work. She has had no issues with battery life like most other laptops. Only wish it had an ethernet port but we were able to find a USB to Ethernet splitter online for under $12.

    This is great "first" laptop for kids. Don't expect high speed though! It is pretty slow, but I think it is great for my 10 year old who does not need anything incredibly fancy right now. I just get irritated with how slow it can be compared to my normal "adult" laptop. But hey, it is faster than the dial-up days, so I can't complain too much. It gets the job done.

    Thus is an excellent start -up laptop. My young daughter uses it for home school and it's been working quite well. My only complaint would be that it gets hot if it's charged too long so be careful with that, otherwise, it's great.

    This laptop is great for a person who does not need to use a laptop for prolonged periods of time; it’s small easy to use and slim. It is light and easy to carry. Only downfall is that it is small. Battery life is sufficient. User friendly.

    We bought two of these so we would each have one for work and home use. We were able to set up and get the laptops working in a flash. They are lightweight yet durable, very responsive and holds battery power well. Excellent purchase!

    Got this for my wife for the $200 price tag. She wanted something with a full keyboard and small form factor, but full windows. I use a surface pro at work so she was thinking that. This little machine is perfect. Works great fro email and office, good wifi, and a nice screen. Would HIGHLY recommend for students. I work at a college and typically buy alienware machines. So that might give you an idea why I am so surprised at how great this little guy is.

    Slow to open websites. Crashes/Internet stops working frequently even when connected to my wifi. It won’t allow me to import my bookmarks from Chrome. I wish the keypad was lit. I would recommend it for people who don’t require much use of a laptop outside of small tasks. Using this becomes frustrating when trying to complete a task quickly.
