    Not happy with this laptop at all. All I wanted was a device that could do internet searching and documents in word. The chat does not work effectively it just calls my name toooo much, I don’t need that. Andddd, I’m not able to type anyyy documents w/o buying a plan.

    Not the best. It works, but the quality and performance were pretty average for the price. I expected a little more and there are probably better options available.
