    Budget laptop for simple web browsing, not recommended for heavy usage such as office work, gaming and so on. Works well with Roblox, bought 2 for the kids. I believe it runs on windows S mode so you can't install normal desktop apps.

    I was pleasantly surprised this laptop brings great value and decent speed. My main use of this laptop is for online school. It does come with a 1 year subscription of Microsoft 365 which is a nice bonus! Again, I only use this for online school and web surfing. I don’t intend to use it for gaming or any other tasks that require more RAM and space. I really like the slim design so it is easy to carry and put in a back pack for on the go. I have always enjoyed Lenovo products as my job uses this brand and I have had no issues with them.

    This is a pretty good laptop for the price. I got it on sale around Christmas and it does what I need it to do. I got this just for doing small online tasks, web browsing and saving needed documents. One draw back is that its seems super slow. I have a different Lenova laptop for work and this one is way slower than it is. I have not gamed on it so cannot say if it is any good for that. But it’s good for what I need.

    This laptop is great for basic office needs. For people saying its slow. Yes the setup took about 30 min but after that it runs fine. You need to switch out of Windows S mode to dowoad other apps. After I did that the computer ran faster and was able to download other programs I needed. You don’t need to worry of taking of S mode. Obviously this is not a gaming computer but runs very good. I bought it for 119 plus tax. It came with Microsoft Office for a year. I month of Xbox games pass ultimate code sent by email. And on top of that Lenovo gives you 3 months of extra Xbox game pass ultimate. So total of 4 months. So basically this laptop is basically worth it for the price.

    This is a nice computer - for a teenager. I originally purchased this computer to complete a project for my grad school program that only worked on Windows, since I have a Mac. The computer was working fine up until I downloaded Articulate. It moved SO slow. Some of the other specs i didn't like about this computer were that you can't download Google Chrome and instead had to use the system loaded on the computer. You could download Google Chrome if you switched out of S-Mode, but if you do that you can't switch back. Again, for the price I paid ($129, openbox) it wasn't bad, just wasn't what I was looking for.

    It’s a good laptop for what it is. I wasn’t expecting to having a gaming oc with this of course. But for internet browsing and streaming videos it is suitable. The downside is alt he bloat ware that comes pre installed, and of course Microsoft plain sucks. Aside for. That it’s good for what it is
