    excellent in speed & clarity of picture. only downside is the weight; it’s the heaviest laptop iv ever had. also, battery life is awful! i keep it shut down; use it maybe 2-3 hrs a day, but having to charge every 3-4 days. other than that, i absolutely love it!

    This Laptop is literally the worst one I have ever purchased. I have fought this thing for 5 hours today and still don't have it set up. It is so slow. I had to even factory reset it to get a little more speed which didn't help much. Do not purchase. This is even bad for a 9 year old to use
