    Bought this as a Christmas present for my mother as a replacement for her nearly-10 year old laptop. It took her a bit to transition to Windows 10 from Windows 7 but it's otherwise been seamless for her. She finds it easier to use and it's also lighter than her older laptop.

    Our company goes through alot of laptops due to the constant movement and needs of our clients. We needed something consistent that we could easily swap out as needed. These have kept up with our clients and staff well and our IT department was pleasantly surprised by their durability.

    No matter the amount of updates and installs you give this laptop, it will still move at the pace of a snail stuck in molasses. I wish I never bought this thing. It's been slow since I bought it and I thought updates would fix it but they didn't. Next time I'll just stick to HP. At least it boots up faster.

    I purchase this laptop for my daughter as a gift to assist her with home teleworking. It was on sale for a decent price. She was glad to receive it and uses it frequently. The only complaint is it a little slow with multiple apps working. If you limit the number of background apps running it performs much better.
