    Great for kids and basics

    We bought this as a cheap little laptop for our middle schoolers to use for homework and studying. It has basic functionality. It definitely isn't for running around town and isn't very sturdy if you travel around much. But, for general light use it works just fine.

    I was so looking forward to using this laptop. However it was loaded with bloatware and once I tried getting on the internet it loaded me with adware. It's going back. Not what I wanted.

    I bought this laptop to use for some basic online review of charts and stuff. This computer is so slow and lags. I try to type something in and it stops me from typing while it's searching for the first letter that I typed in. Then after I finally get everything typed in and click where I wanna go, it does not load up the correct page but instead reverts back to the last chart I was looking at. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.

    Nice So Far

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I read the bad reviews and I was worried that because of the low amount of disk space the laptop would be really slow and there would be no room on the machine for Microsoft word. This is not the case. this little computer is fast and just fine for typing up homework and carrying to school. So far this laptop has passed my expectations.

    Do not buy this

    I needed a bottom of the line cheap laptop to back up photos and docs from my 3 iPads to USB and cloud. Upon installing Windows OS memory was full and any updates to OS or included Kapersky security are unavailable. So..I use solely offline in airplane mode to transfer iOS files to secure USB. Windows OS is the worst OS mankind could devise. Well worth spending 10x more for an apple laptop - the aggravation of Microsoft is intolerable. My bad. My 128gb iPad is a better computer than anything Microsoft offers. If you want constant frustration and never ending messages about updates you can't install and non existent Internet security this is for you.

    What was I thinking. This can barely be consider a computer. Slow. Reminds me of the netbooks from 10 years ago. Not very responsive. Returned after just one day so maybe you need to get use to it.
