Screen quit after 1 year, slow basic machine that was good for basic use. Not something you want for heavy work loads or multiple screens.

Wife bought this computer so our son can do his school work on it. She has tried to watch Netflix on it but it doesn’t really have the capacity to run an episode smoothly, I got tired of listing to the video having a stop and go play fit and had her just watch it on the TV. As far as surfing the web and doing 4th grade curriculum on it, it does its job. You get what you pay for.

Do not buy this if you want to use Zoom

OK, boomer: Did I know what Zoom was pre COVID 19? Our old computer monitor doesn't have a camera and I had an old Lenovo tablet (which they no longer make) which although the picture quality wasn't the greatest; it did work. So I decided to buy a Lenovo laptop. Big mistake. According to the Geek Squad, it doesn't have enough processing speed. Had to exchange it for a Dell laptop which did.
It is light weight and if you only needed to check email; I think it would work.
