    Good for browsing, light tasks. Not good for games such as Roblox / Minecraft, a more powerful pc is required. Just know what you’re buying , it works fine for my purpose , most bad reviews expected way too much out of a $150 laptop.

    Great for students who just need a laptop for homework. I wouldn't recommend you use this laptop for gaming, but you could do so if you really wanted to. I got this one sale, and it was wayyy worth the price. I would recommend! No complaints so far.

    I wanted to love this laptop, but the perfomance is quite bad. It cannot handle a Zoom meeting. The wifi adapter goes out about once a week. It freezes reguarly. This is all while handing regular tasks on a browser, not playing games. The pros are that the battery is strong, the size is nice and the display is good. Overall, due to the poor performance and inability to handle Zoom meetings I would not recommend it.

    Your basic home/office laptop, and absolutely not.

    If you’re looking for an home or office computer that does the most basic tasks, you might want to consider this one. However, don’t expect anything more out of it. The price truly speaks for itself in this particular configuration, trying to do anything more than word processing, home banking, or using it for the kids homework will leave a lot to be desired. During the two weeks I have had this laptop, it could barely handle a HD YouTube video without getting hung up with the typical stuttering, and poor performance. Keep in mind that I used the basic Microsoft default browser, so your mileage may vary. After the initial performance letdown, I didn’t really push it anymore than that. Seeing as how it can’t even handle a lowkey YouTube video, I didn’t want to push it any further. Keep in mind that this laptop runs Windows. Just saying that alone should explain everything.
