So far this is a good computer. I was told that this computer has a 100% return rate, and I was going to return it to get a better one (more expensive), but so far this computer is serving my needs. I haven't saved much on here because I was warned about the memory issue, so I have been careful, I hope this computer keeps up the good performance.

This is a great laptop for basic uses such as Zoom, internet browsing etc. The UFS storage is relatively fast compared to eMMC drives. For those that are comfortable opening the machine up, you can easily swap the 4GB module for an 8GB or 16 GB module. This will make the machine better, especially with more open tabs or programs like Zoom. It's easy to use an SD card for additional storage with the builtin slot.
The machine does work with Linux with some caveats. The UFS drive isn't recognised by all installations so you may have to use a Live image like Ubuntu or Debian Live. Also, the Mediatek WiFi works but the power saving settings in currently available kernels freezes on suspend. Solution, disable suspend, and it'll work fine. I get good battery life and performance from this machine.

Speed is great. It has great quality video and takes great screenshots. The storage is great as well as all the apps that comes with the computer and that you download.

Very functional and great for the price. I purchased this chrome book to take care of my basic online needs without wanting to break the bank and it’s been good for me so far.

Good for basic tasks, though it does not multitask well due, I suppose, to a slow processor and minimal 4 gb RAM. It froze up on me altogether after a month of use, and I had to re-install windows, but it has been working fine since. A good back-up laptop, and at a very reasonable price.

Overall, a good basic laptop. I bought it as a backup for travel. Good for basic browsing and video streaming. Not a lot of memory, but I don't use it to store anything important. Good battery life and I like that it's small and lightweight.
The biggest con is that it (at least mine) has some sort of critical memory error. It crashes on me at least twice a week. I have noticed that if I move too much, like picking it up or shifting it, I'll get a blue screen of death. But, restarting only takes a couple minutes. Since this is just a backup, I put up with it.
I definitely wouldn't want this as my only computer though.

Easy operation. Simple set up. I was interested in an economical solution for journaling on Word. Basic budgeting on Excel. The price was perfect for the uses I needed it for. Pleased.

Everything I need and nothing I don’t! All I need is the internet and basic word processing stuff and I don’t want a ton of stuff I would never use and this fits the bill.
