Great for Online Schooling!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With our 1st grade child needing to complete schoolwork online at home we decided to purchase this entry level laptop. This laptop meets the necessary requirements to accomplish daily work online. Ive noticed the processing time is a bit slower than my laptop, but not enough to be a negative. Excellent value, average quality.

great computer for basic everyday use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive only had this computer for a day, but I just bought it for basic use (surfing the web, checking emails, writing papers). It took a long time to set up, but I like how it has a lot of security measures and everything is thoroughly explained on how to use it. Its simple, but good especially for the price!

Second times the charm
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First one I bought just died litteraly 2 weeks after buying. Nothing happened to it, just stopped working amd wouldn't turn on. Hasn't been 2 weeks yet on the second one but, fingers crossed. When its working, its fine. Its exactly what i need out of a laptop. I think its a good low budget laptop.

Excellent Basic Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality and the price are excellent. Perfect for browsing the internet and wrting documents. The software is top tier and sufficient for everyday needs. Not a gaming laptop for sure as the memory and speed is slower. A great on the go model for sure.

It is what is its...
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, I've had this laptop for now a year. I am a little sad and how much the price dropped but we were in a Pandemic and Laptops were hard to come by! This is a very entry level laptop. You can browse, check email, watch youtube videos and some light applications. Zoom camera is horrible and you have to use the browser since you can't download the zoom app since its not through Microsoft. So wouldn't buy if you're on zoom a lot...

Good for online school
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my son for online school. For under $120 black friday special you really can't beat the price for this basic laptop that is a step above a chrome book. Its not anything fancy but it is lightweight and gets the job done.

Lenovo laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better now, the first couple of times I used it, it gave me issues because it didnt want to connect to my wifi. After a couple of times, my daughter had the magic touch. Haven't had any issues since the last time she worked with it so maybe it is right now. Over all good price and product.

Good laptop on budget. But slow for regular tasks.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the sub-$150 price range, this is a good laptop. But, it is considerably slow compared to the $250 price range laptop. Also, windows operating system occupies most of the 64GB storage space. So, except for few word documents, it is not suitable for storing music and movies.

Camera not what i expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this computer for my kids to do their digital learning. It is slow, and the camera seems weard! I had to fold the screen down a lot that it made it hard to see the screen for it to focus on my kid! It is also really slow and since it has the S moode zoom was not compatible. I ended up returning it back for an Hp. I learned that you get what hou pay for!!

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does lag a little, and won’t hold a whole lot with its smaller storage space. Although, for the price it works for now, and what I need this one to do. The ease of the keyboard and features are simple, would recommend if not needed to run a lot of programs or projects.
