    Ample Storage, Great Price: A Must-Have Laptop

    What I mostly like about this device is the storage capacity which was the main reason I bought it. Needless to say the price point "had me at hello". The brand is my second purchase from Best Buy. If you're looking for a laptop with ample storage look no further. Get yours soon I did.

    It’s actually insane this is allowed to be sold. Slow doesn’t even describe it. It’s a waste of time to even set up. Took me 20 minutes to load a Gmail page. Seriously save yourself the time and do not buy this

    This computer was a huge disappointment. From the start, it ran extremely slow and we could never get it to work properly. The performance issues made it frustrating to use for even basic tasks. After this experience, we will not be purchasing from this brand again.

    I've never owned a computer that was so slow when brand new. I tried, for the first time, to use it, and 10 minutes later, I'm still waiting for things to load, like the settings menu, the app store, and the internet. If it's this slow right now, it's going to be a nightmare a year from now. I'll be returning this for another.
