    Not for having multiple tabs and multitasking. Would not recommend for school use. Good for simple users, checking emails, and Surfing the internet. Neat, nice, clean look, nothing fancy.

    This computer isn’t fancy, but I use it for school and it does what I need it to do. It’s lightweight and I like the color. I do wish the keys were backlit, but for the price I can’t complain.

    I love my laptop. It's convenient and it is the size and color that I wanted, which was chrome. The keyboard has the number keys on both above the letters and on the right side of the keyboard for data entry. My other laptop does not. The geek squad had to remove the S Mode because it was not compatible with my school's system. I purchased Webroot as my Internet Security and it works perfectly. I've had no problems.

    I think this is a good laptop for someone needing something simple for college or any course work. I did however feel that it was slower than it should’ve been for being a brand new laptop.

    When I first got this laptop I downloaded the google chrome since I use google docs often. The computer immediately started freezing and slowing down. I reset the computer to factory setting and started over. I began using the Microsoft edge and the computer still ran very slow. When I would host zoom meetings the computer would freeze and not let me use zoom and do things on the internet. I only kept this computer for a week before returning it.

    I bought this for my daughter, for playing games including Roblox. I didn't really purchase it for doing anything fancy but just an easy first laptop for my 11 year old child. It's great for her! Preference first laptop that seems durable and is doing what it should be doing. It was very inexpensive which was a plus! I would say if you aren't looking for anything fancy, first laptop, you can't go wrong with this one.

    Terribly slow. I mainly bought it to watch Netflix and Disney Plus, with some ocasional internet surfing. Nothing too heavy. But I could never watch more than two episodes of any show because it’d start lagging and buffering. I disabled most start-up applications and didn’t even download anything more than what was already installed, I tried watching in lower quality and other tips I saw on YouTube, but nothing worked. I must clarify that I have the highest internet speed from spectrum and my old Sonny Vaio laptop that I bought 6 years ago never has that problem. Upon more research I discovered that this seems to be a common problem. Also, the sound is very low even after going to settings and adjusting speakers and volume. It was just now worth it, I had to return it after three weeks and I’m using my old Sony, but looking for hopefully something better.

    Had to have a laptop for my 5th grader due to the Covid restrictions of attending school in person. This gets the job done. We just need something to access web calls and pull up class work and submit it. Does the job. Good value!

    I got this computer for my son for Christmas. I thought it would be the perfect fit for what he needed to do. Guess I should of opened it and tried it rathet than waiting for him to open it as a gift. I am so unimpressed with this laptop. It runs so unbelievably slow. Even the network connection is awful. I have had help trying to fix it and it still remains the same. It is something with this laptop as qll my other computers, laptops, iPad and phones have no issues. Disappointed to say the least...

    I got this computer when they started homeschool and my daughter loves it. Works much better than Chromebook she had . Very good if you are just doing basics which she is. She does do a little gaming but she says it works okay for.
