    AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    Bought two of these exact laptops for new hires. Unfortunately they sat in the box for 3 weeks before new hires started, so I'm outside of my return window. Anyways, these laptops are HORRIBLE. I have a Lenovo from 4 years ago that works like a DREAM. Bought two of these exact ones and whatever programs/apps they have pre-installed on these don't even let you get past setting up the user. Not functional for ANYONE in low or high capacity. They're absolutely 100% non-functioning laptops. Avoid at all costs. Screen lag: 5-7 MINUTES, literally, waiting 7 minutes for the mouse to move from one spot to another on TWO of the same laptop... not just one "oops you got a bad one" situation.

    Cannot rate product due to your cancellation of my order. The reason given was the product was not available. My question is why did you offer it for sale?? Perfect waste of time. Why not offer an alternative product. You had an opportunity to sell a substitute - evidently no one in your organization thought of that.

    I’m very disappointed with this laptop. The internet keeps disconnecting randomly, even though my Wi-Fi works perfectly with other devices. I’ve tried updating drivers and changing settings, but nothing helps. It’s really frustrating, especially when working or streaming. I wouldn’t recommend this model to anyone.

    I usually don’t write reviews but I had to in that case. I bought the laptop on a week day and on the following it was supposed to be delivered, but I never seen a package. When I call them, they asked me to give them 24hrs to get back to me and still nothing. I called them again and they said that they will reach out to me in 3 to 5 business days. And I bought it early knowing that it will be here before the weekend because it was supposed to be a gift for my mother on mother’s day. I am extremely disappointed. If I could give 0 stars I would have.
