Not what I was hoping for Computers and accessories

I have to remember you get what you pay for. This laptop started right out of the box in "Windows S Mode" which I've never heard of before - you can't install any programs other than from the Windows App Store, use a web browser other than Microsoft Edge, and use any other Search engine as Bing. 45 minutes later we figured out how to stop this for good. Thereafter. It's just a very slow laptop. We bought this for our elementary school student for distance learning. That . hardly passes. Worst of all is trying to make a video call in Google Classroom, which takes 2 minutes to set up and then often just quits. At this point we borrowed our kid a 'real' laptop from an adult and then used Lenovo for less processor/memory intensive educational software. Finally, we tried setting up Minecraft, which ran at around 4 frames per second. After lots of searches on google we found enough ways to disable every option of the game until the game starts to shake. So. I can't fault this laptop; it's super cheap. But compared to every other laptop I've owned, this one is surprisingly terrible.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Almost everything available
