    After I purchased this, I started reading the reviews and I noticed several other reviews stating how slow this laptop is. Well, they were right. It takes several minutes to get anything to open on this laptop. Will be returning.

    Bought this for my son who's starting college in January. Its perfect for what he'll need it for. A little small, but well made. I would recommend it for someone who just needs a basic laptop for writing papers, doing research, etc.

    Way too slow! I just needed it for simple doc creation and photo storage, it would take nearly 10mins just to power on. Returned for a refund.

    This has to be the worst computer ever. It is extremely slow and can't load anything. I can't open the browser, settings, the start menu, etc. I only bought it to use as a car diagnostic tool... taking this back first thing in the morning.

    Since say one of opening this laptop it has been nothing but glitchy and slow. It takes almost five minutes for the browser tab to open and most things don’t load within the usual 10-15 seconds like with other laptops I’ve used.

    Windows is the standard and other than setting up the pc for what I needed it for which included getting out of Win 11 S mode, and windows updates it is working fantastic. I am only using this for zoom meetings.
