I AM LOVING IT! I've first been intrigued to purchase by the price of this laptop and somewhat disappointed when I first started using it, but the more I used it the more I fell in love with it. For the most part this laptop is a perfect secondary computer for web browsing, simple word processing, and video streaming. It was exactly what I was looking for. I like how it's ultraportable so I don't have to lug my heavier laptops with me when I'm on the go. It's also budget friendly so it's not too hard on the wallet if anything were to happen. More importantly it runs full Windows (comes with S Mode, but you can switch to full Windows 10 Home for free) so it's more capable than my ipad in some aspects. It's also decked out with the latest I/O ports USB 3.0 and USB-C. Yes it only has 32GB of storage, but I added a micro SD card so storage isn't a problem. Don't be scared by the 2gb of RAM, it's enough given Window's excellent management of memory. The new N4000 processor is slick compared to the slow N3060 it replaced. It's overall a very zippy computer and I won't let it leave my commuter backpack! Definitely recommend this awesome machine!
Compared to all the laptops which I have owned previously, this little one has the best value. It is light to carry around and perfect for browsing and doing some works. It came with Windows S mode that could be switched out to Windows 10 (make sure that you have updated with Microsoft Store to do this). In S mode, you can't install Apps or software outside of the store). Yes, 32GB HD is not a lot of space and you do need to be mindful about storage usage. It is easy to monitor storage usage with the Windows Storage tool. After uninstalling most games and unwanted apps/software, performing updates and installing Office 365, I still have about 10GB free space. With microSD expansion, storing files is really not an issue. Although I have used Chrome browser in the past, I find using Edge to be smoothier and faster than Chrome on this laptop. Keyboard is easy and nice to type. The laptop starts fast and the fully charged battery lasts about 8-9 hours. Overall, I am impressed and could not be happier with this purchase. Come on - for about $150, I could get pretty much what I need to do on all the laptops I have owned in the past. This is my impression and experience after having it for two days and I will update if necessary.
I bought this just to keep handy in the kitchen when I need to pay bills or look things up quickly. I knew it wasn't going to be super quick and thought that I wouldn't mind it. However, I have found out that I do. Response time switching windows, apps or websites is slow. It is super light, which I love but the quality is really cheap. I'm being very careful with it because I feel like it could break easily. The hardest thing was converting the OS from 10s to 10. I didn't know that the S meant "security?" I think? Basically it means you can't download anything to the computer that is not found in the Microsoft Store. That was extremely frustrating because I am a Chrome Girl. I figured out how to upgrade it and now it's a normal computer.
Ordered 4 for my parents business to have some inexpensive laptops and couldn’t be happier. Super light (way lighter than an iPad with pelican case), super long battery life, ok browsing speed for a great price.
I ended up ordering an other one just to keep it at home for whatever...
Really like this laptop. Small, light and looks great. Hardest part of setting up the computer was turning it on. Found my network and found my wireless printer with no issues. About two hours to bring it to a full charge and I was off and running to the great network in the sky.
Early days yet but very happy after day 1.

Amazing laptop for the price! Nice keyboard as well. Very happy
I purchased this computer because it was cheap. My goal was to install and learn Linux with it. The thing that has impressed me the most is the battery life. I have used it for ten to twelve hours a day for the last week and I only have to plug it in while I am sleeping. It also performs all of the basic functions of a much higher priced computer flawlessly. I surf the internet, watch videos, check email, and make presentations without complaint. The size and weight of this computer also make it very convenient to take everywhere. The biggest limitation with this computer is the hard drive size (32GB) which I work around by storing all media files and documents on a micro SD card. This is a good computer.
I liked the features and the speed of it ………………...
PROs:
+ Battery life (about 7-8 hours)
+ lite weight, handy
+ starts quickly
+ Windows 10s lets less malware in.
CONs:
- I’ve heard the 32GB SSD hard drive is not enough for a general use laptop; however, for my needs (web surfing, writing documents) it is perfect.
- Getting use to Windows 10s application restrictions (can’t install regular versions of MS Office, need to buy the App version; also I can’y install my normal VPN software).
This machine comes with windows 10S, which means that you will only be able to download apps from the Microsoft store. You can upgrade to windows pro for 199$ and use it like a regular computer. Please note that once downloaded, you will have to switch out of S mode through the Microsoft store before you can download other non Microsoft verified programs.
I only gave 4 stars because it's advertised as having windows 10 and says nothing about it being windows 10s.
