For the price this laptop is great for home and simple use. I bought my mother this laptop after having a laptop for over 10 years that was awfully slow. My mom absolutely loves it and I am happy I chose this laptop for her.

We are very pleased with this laptop. It is light weight, very fast and we could add another 4GB of Ram if we needed it even faster, and the display is fantastic.
We are currently buying a second one because we like it so much.

Great laptop to surf the web and do email. For the price it's definitely worth it. What I loved was it had a DVD burner in it for older programs/backing up data.

For the price, this laptop does exactly what we need. Although the solid state drive is smaller, the boot time is quick and internet surfing is as quick as my other faster laptop. I would buy this again for the sale price.

Bought this for a friend who had a really old Mac to play League of Legends. The RAM and processor seem not enough as he often complains of sharp drop in FPS and ends up using his old Mac to play instead. Should be sufficient for daily usage but not for gaming.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Purchased this laptop because last one died. The main thing the kid wanted was to still have a DVD player for some old videos. This one came up on the deal of the day. The boy was very happy with what he got. So far it has been dependable and he had seen no issues. However, he uses it mainly for videos. Recording music he makes and YouTube

I only had it 2 months and does what I need it. I don't understand why Windows 10 S since you will need to remove it from S mode if you want to install any software. Example Turbo Tax is not in the Microsoft store so you would not be able to use the computer to do your taxes. It would be nice to have a larger drive.
