It’s compact and the battery last a long time but the keys stick. Overall, not bad for the price. I needed it for presentations and it works fine for that purpose.

If you are not a regular computer user this will work great for you other that's in more storage so that it works faster. I use this computer for 10 hours a week for work and the only complaint I have is the speed.

Slow and Low Battery

It is very slow. To load a web page, it takes about 30 seconds. If you leave tabs open, they take longer to load after the laptop is sleeping. If you want to load a video on say, YouTube; it takes longer than a minute. If you have more than one tab open and you leave that tab for like 3 minutes, it needs to load again. The battery life is low. Upwards of two hours without it being plugged in constantly. The display is fine. It’s a small screen but that’s to be expected.
