    Didn't perform at a minimal level. I couldn't even use Google Docs without lag and the power cable felt cheap like it could break at any moment. Ended up returning in less than a week.

    If I could give this laptop zeros stars I would, it was extremely slow, took forever to load, Microsoft edge crashed whenever you tried to search, I even gave it to my husband who works in IT to see how to fix it and he couldn't, I returned it 2 days later because thats how long it took for it to factory reset

    For the price it’s the perfect laptop for what I needed to attend collage. Plus it came with a year of Microsoft 365 so I can easily complete all my assignments with ease. It’s fast, efficient, and even allows for me to stream YouTube or any other streaming service with no lag!

    This computer is 2 days old and is basically not useable. Opening anything takes a minimum of 5 minutes and half the time crashes the computer. My poor son got this as a Christmas gift and is heartbroken he hasn’t been able to use it. I tried downloading all updates overnight and it did not help at all.

    This laptop didn’t even have enough memory to surf the web. I figured I’d buy a cheep laptop and make the upgrades as necessary to make it better. Only thing is that the laptop isn’t even upgradable. The memory is welded in and it’s a bunch of garbage. I ended up returning it real quick.
