    This is a twisted nematic display, so the viewing range is minimal. If you turn the screen to any other angle, it will look inverted, like an X-ray. This hurt my eyes really badly, so I switched to Lenovo's Ideapad 1i. It costs a bit more, but my eyes are so much better, and it's touchscreen, so I guess that's a small win. Otherwise, if you're okay with a screen like that, it loads pretty fast, and battery life for me was around 5-6 hours. It charges relatively fast too.

    The PC is a decent value. It shipped with Windows in "S" mode, which would only allow Microsoft apps to be installed. I had to figure out how to shut that off. The Wifi reception is also spotty, despite being mere feet away from the router.

    It’s a nice laptop but it’s only good for browsing the web and minor video editing.. it’s laggy when load capacity is high. Besides that it’s a good design and easy to use.

    It has everything I wanted and more. It was a gift for my late husband's parents. The camera allows them to go to grief counseling on zoom rather than having to drive at night. The speed is good and the storage will last them a while.

    To be honest, I’ve hardly had a chance to use it much. However, it essentially has what I need as an extra laptop. Although I was trying to get something with double the storage, it was a decent price for something I needed right away.

    When I opened the new laptop and tried to get it setup for my grandfather, it was locked after having been logged into by another user. I couldn't do anything with it. I took it back in to the store and they reset it and said it was as good as new...but...wait...was it new? They offered to return it and order a new one but never could explain what happened with this one.
