    I bought this laptop just to use as a browser while on vacation and not much else. It does accomplish that, but it is slow even at that. I would not recommend for anything needing more power or speed.

    I wasn't expecting much, but it's even worse than I thought. It can't even open a Google Chrome tab in less than 5 minutes. Not even worth it for a budget laptop as it literally can't do anything.
