This laptop runs fairly well considering its limited resources. It has less resources than a lot of smartphones but runs full Windows 11.
Considering the price I hesitate to complain too much. It's not a gaming machine, it's not a machine where you'll store your movie or music collection (not enough storage). You can't really multitask due to the limited CPU and RAM. But for web and Office use, it works great and is a bargain. The keyboard and trackpad work great and since there is no fan, it works in complete silence.
My biggest complaint is the screen is fairly dim, low-resolution, and washed out. I wish it was a little bit better. But it's tough to complain too much for the price.
Battery life is actually rather good - getting close to iPad-level battery life. Quite a surprise!
I bought a similar model a few months ago and installed ChromeOS Flex on it, it ran better than Windows. But this one I am going to keep Windows on.

Sleek, very light and hence can be carried around easily. Since the storage capacity is not very large, this can be used for less heavy school work

The laptop is nice and the keyboard is pretty great. The problems with it are pretty annoying though. At random times, the computer will just randomly black out and leave me for twenty good minutes without anything to do. The storage is pretty low, too. The speed is very slow. It'll take a long time for it to even get to the settings. It gets really annoying when you need to finish things in a hurry. If you're patient, it's your dream computer. Other than that, it's okay.

This is a good laptop if you understand what its limitations are. It’s a VERY basic machine good for basic tasks, it’s not for gaming. It is good for browsing the internet, email and productivity software such as Word and Excel. It has the performance of an inexpensive Android tablet with a larger screen and a keyboard. If you need a laptop for basic computing, don’t need a lot of storage and you have a little patience it’s hard to complain about this machine for only $100.

Purchased for our kids to get them familiar with typing and using different types of software. The price was right. Upgraded the storage by inserting a mini USB flash drive and setting up that drive as the place where program files would be installed. This way the 64G internal drive wouldn't be inundated. Working great so far and the kids are enjoying the experience of having their own computer.

I was looking for a in expensive solution for a relative that could be used as a learning platform for programming. When I saw this unit it was ideal in that it was not very expensive as well as able to run Python. So far after setting everything up it has been running the application very well. Actually it has been used since Xmas without a problem. Going forward I hope to add other uages as a learning platform as required. Overall it was not only a good buy it was the Best Buy (haha) I could have made for it's use.
