    I was really tempted to return it but it was on sale for $120 and I was able to complete the work I needed to. That being said this operates as slow as a laptop jammed up with viruses. It's takes 2-3 mins to load google is (not it's not my wifi all my other devices are fast!). Every webpage gets a "wait or close" error. It took over an hour to download an app. You get what you pay for. I needed a laptop to complete onboarding for a job - would have been better off going to the library! Avoid seriously slow not worth the sale price of $120 let alone full price of $250

    Bought this laptop for my 7th grade daughter. It was just what she wanted at a great price. The team at our local Best Buy had it ready to pick up in about an hour, brought it out to our car no hassle.

    This laptop was great for my uncle! He’s about 53 now and wants to use technology more so he can watch videos and do some occasional work related activities they request from him. Very easy to use and set up.
