good

Brand new laptop that crashes and freezes. Hard drive errors on start up. Web browser freezes simply printing a shipping label. Cannot perform the most basic tasks. I’m not a picky or demanding guy but this laptop is terrible.

The operating system is trash. You can not even connect to the internet

Received this laptop today for my fiancé and I must say it’s not a bad laptop! Normally in this price range, you’d expect to only find cheap Chromebooks but this has Windows 11 (Not S Mode) and for only having 4gb Ram, it still runs great!! East to setup and downloaded all updates, no issues so far! Highly recommend!!!

For the money, this little laptop works well

Great laptop it’s very compact small. Battery on the laptop lasts long time.

I realize this is a $200 laptop. But still, the basic hardware ought to work, especially a new-model machine fresh out of the box. First time using it I noticed though it was plugged it was not charging. Jiggling/moving the power cord causes it to erratically charge, then stop charging. I don’t know at this point if the issue is the cord or the port, but it is definitely hardware related. Next I tried plugging it into my docking station using the USB-C port. Windows makes the “connected hardware” sound, but there is zero video output to my monitors and the machine doesn’t charge. USB-C port appears DOA as far as I can tell. Really disappointed because I read good reviews, the machine feels solid, and I love the size. But if the basic features don’t work straight out of the box, what’s the point??

Ugraded to 8 gig much faster

I ordered this to travel with. The computer arrived fast and set up was really simple. Well, until I tried to download a couple of non MicroSoft (MS) apps and even Facebook. The windows S mode does not allow you to down load any apps that are not from MS. And it would not allow me to down load Facebook even from the MS store. The fix was a bit painful. I took win 11 out of S mode, did a reboot, etc. Still not able to down load non-MS apps or Facebook from the MS store. Searching the net, I found some people had success by reloading Win 11 after taking it out of S mode. I did that, downloaded 11 from the cloud, rebooted and everything is now working fine. Would I recommend this a as basic laptop. You bet!

I would never have bought this had I realized it would force me to use a Microsoft account to log in to use it at all. I will probably send it back. I dont need one more dumb thing to sign into.
