    When I saw this advertised as early black Friday special I just had to jump on this offer. I got it as early Xmas gift for a friend who is currently taking online clases. As word processor and online conference call and browsing tool is a great option, considering how expensive tablets and smart phones have gotten

    Got this for $100 during black Friday and have to say that it is definitely worth it. It's has a fully working version of Windows "s mode" so know what you are getting into as you will only get apps from the Microsoft app store. Memory is very minimal so don't expect much in terms of performance.

    I have been using this laptop for two weeks and I've found it to be incredibly reliable and extremely fast. For just $99 this laptop is a perfect for simple daily use. For gaming this is probably not ideal. I would definitely recommend this laptop.
