    Been pretty good so far, it was a learning curve with all the new Microsoft things and having to disable certain functions to download the Norton app, but overall the computer does what it needs to do. It does lag at times and goes slow when doing multiple things, which is a drawback since I got this new one because my old one does the same thing and freezes. I’m hoping it was just too many tabs opened and it won’t happen again. I’m satisfied with this product and it is doing what I wanted it to do, basic personal work and when needed to attend a zoom meeting I can do that.

    Does everything I need it to do but the memory gets a bit slow at times which can be frustrating. That being said, good space for a laptop and I always love the screen customization options, especially for the browsers! I love when I get the freedom to make everything pink!

    Nice laptop. Very reasonably priced. The S Mode didn’t work for me. However, S Mode certainly makes good sense. If, I wasn’t transferring very old files & dvd to a new laptop; this would be the perfect product for me.

    This laptop is used for internet surfing and some light MS Office apps. The battery life is impressive, the display is bright, keyboard is responsive and its very lightweight. My only complaint is that it is a bit slow. I wish the processor speed was faster, but I knew the speed when I bought it.
