Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's not running real Windows 10

It's running Windows 10 S which is designed for computers that don't have enough memory and processing power to run real Windows 10 but if you try to turn it on, you'll get a warning that you shouldn't do this. Once you switch to real Windows 10, you cannot go back to Windows 10 S. That means you can only run a subset of Windows 10 apps broken in some cases, for example if you want to install Chrome or Firefox you can't help but blow Windows 10 S away and maybe not break something , which hardly works. Even when Windows 10 S is running, it runs slowly. Everything takes forever to load. However, I keep a computer. It does at least what I need. I wanted it to be able to play DVDs with an external drive and I wanted it to be able to display the Revain Music Player app properly. He does both. But my illusions that I could use this computer to program computer languages with a visual GUI (like Racket, Rust or even Python) were dispelled. Also note that this computer is only sold by third parties on Revain. For some reason, Revain will not sell this computer directly. The price may be cheaper elsewhere. I would never recommend this computer for general use. Someone said they gave this computer to a student to use as his main computer. It's hard to believe that a student can use it without recurring problems. The student should focus on their schoolwork and not on finding workarounds to get this computer to do what it is supposed to do. Advertising this computer with Windows 10 borders on false advertising. It only works with a stripped down version of Windows 10, not the real Windows 10. You can get a Chromebook for the same price, and if you don't want to play DVDs, the Chromebook does everything that computer does and does it a lot better and faster without the problems that this computer brings. It's good that this computer is cheap, otherwise I would feel cheated.
