    The design of this laptop is good. The main big shortage for a win 10 laptop is the hard drive. 32Gb is too small for Win10 operating system. After power up the device, it showed the storage space is only 11Gb left, after a few hours, it was only 5 Gb left. Do not even mention the win 10 will accumulate more and more files during its operation. There will be no space for the operating system to run after a while

    This laptop is not for a power user. It is for light use only. Don’t expect it to be a multi tasking machine. For the price it’s worth it.

    Screen color quality is subpar, the volume on the speakers is low, and it runs very slow....despite this it is in fact a cheap way to browse the internet and it’s light. It really can’t be used for more then browsing websites and answering emails.

    For the price it does the job. Email, Surf the web, light editing of photos, watch videos. When it’s on sale can’t beat it for a spare unit or something to booth up Quick and do light duty task. On the reg price of $199. I would look else where.

    It's a decent laptop to perform simple tasks such as internet browsing, videos and ect. The speakers are not so great but it has blue tooth connectivity so you can connect your own device. If you perform too many tasks at once it will run a bit slower.

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

    Purchased in 2018, good budget laptop. I used it mainly to browse the web, stream videos, and do online assignments. Screen is a little dim and sound is low. Battery life is average about 3-4 hours of heavy use. It lags when you have a lot of tabs open or when multi-tasking. Storage space is an issue, I'd suggest getting an SD card or an external hard drive to backup important files. Still running strong in 2019.

    It’s light weight and small, which is a plus. It’s easy to transport to different locations without feeling this big weight with you. It’s not super fast, but the speed is adaquate enough. I have opened multiple applications without experiencing too much of a slowdown. The space is limited, so this does not replace a laptop.

    I am able to do all the things I need it for,,,but it does have a few limitations : only 32 gig non removable/non upgradable SSD drive (way too small)- only 2gb RAM (also no upgradeable)3: limited usb ports. If you are in elementary/ middle school, this is great!!! but otherwise, the limitations are a serious setback.

    I have previously used celeron on chrombeook and it was fine, however, I was disappointed with how underpowered this unit feels. Microsoft is a much chunkier os than chrome though so I should the considered that when purchasing. It does function as intended, the but as the price point I can get better performance out of a chromebook.
