    This Laptop for a beginner unit is of nice quality. If you need a computer for home usage like making files or going on the internet. This Laptop will do. Looks good and is lite.

    Nice laptop, but not a workhorse. Will do most things that most will ask it to do; just not overly fast. Is okay if you can get it at a low price.

    It’s a nice, laptop with a side key pad. Lap top is very slow moving. Takes a good few minutes before you can get on the internet which at time is frustrating.

    As much as it was an open box purchase, it did not live up to its specs. It ran really slow, was constantly using over 50% of the memory, and could barely open the internet without crashing. Thankfully Best Buys return policy was easy for a quick reimbursement.

    Machine is nice and feels great. But you can only use Edge in WIN S mode. And as you know Edge keeps crashing/hanging constantly, no matter what website you go to. I wish it was more stable. They still need to learn from Chrome. Other office apps work OK. But don't expect much internet usage here.

    Great for word documents and excel spreadsheets. Web browsing does need work. But it was primarily used for Grad school work, so I would recommend for Education, Liberal Arts, and Environment science majors.
