    It’s a nice laptop for general use. It was a little difficult to set-up. If you are wanting to do more advanced things, I would not recommend this laptop. But for general use like Word, email, social media, it’s a good one.

    This is a good laptop if you use it for basic MS Word/Excel functionality or for on-line social media browsing. It doesn't have a lot of RAM so anything that will require more advanced graphics or streaming might suffer. But for an entry level laptop used for basic stuff, this works very well.

    Good value when it is on sale. However, it is slow-ish even with basic office programs. To take full advantage you need to upgrade RAM by adding 16 GB card (+$60), SSD is extra icing on the cake.

    Already had a previous model. With all the projects and research we did, we filled up the memory. Purchased this model for its larger hard drive but we got so much more than just more space. The pc is faster and the transition of all previous work was a breeze. The included software took care of that. No work lost and lots of space to continue studying. Currently using it to get through sophomore year in university. For us the battery life is sufficient (no gaming). Great laptop. Really suits our needs without going broke or financing something for longer than the item will be useful.

    This laptop is just what I need for home use. Love the separate number pad. It is not for the power user, but great for me. My only complaint is that the charging portal should be on the back of the laptop instead of the side. Somewhat inconvenient for use in the lap.
