Title: NIce little computer
Review: I am a senior citizen and needed to replace my old laptop. This one is just right for me, was easy to set up and transfer information from the old to the new. I don't use it for anything special. Do not need the expensive one for what I needed it for. Happy with this one

Title: Reset PC, Switch out of S Mode, Do Not Install McAfee
Review: Windows S Mode and McAfee are glitchy performance killers and restrictive applications. Switching out of Win 11 S mode should be a straight forward process but it just does not work as it should, along with McAfee installed, whether you want it or not. McAfee acts like a worm virus, intrusively imbedding itself deep into system architecture instead of being a gate keeper like other anti-virus apps. Windows S Mode dose not allow you to install and run any app that is not Microsoft verified and found on the Microsoft Store. In S Mode, you cannot install and run any browser other than MS Edge or Bing. There is an app within the MS Store to switch out of S mode but it will not work because, I suspect, of the bloated software that launches when you first turn on and set up this laptop. Switching out of S Mode is permanent. All the advise and direction I found to get this switch to work had failed. Lots of frustrated people out there with the same issue. I finally got MS Support on the phone and they told me this is a very common problem with this product and the only way to resolve it was to reset the PC. A total reset, wiping the OS and all files you may have added. No big deal as this is a new PC and I did not transfer anything from my old PC. After the PC was reset, I was able to switch out of S mode so that I now have Win 11 Home instead of Win 11S Home. At the same time, a McAfee install popup was automatically prompted so I could select Do Not Install. This was all a bit of a pain but other than that, this laptop is not so bad. The display colors are not as vibrant as I hoped but with a resolution of only 1365 x 768, I should have expected that. However, the graphics display very well on a connected higher resolution monitor and it handles steaming video from Amazon Prime Video beautifully. I hope this information can help someone avoid the frustration of dealing with what was intentionally sold as a very restrictive operating environment. Getting rid of S Mode and McAfee gives you back unrestricted use of your laptop.

Title: Slow
Review: You shouldn't be buying a laptop that runs Intel Celeron in 2024. Slow and outdated. I didnt think it would be this slow so let me save you some time. Find a laptop that runs at least Intel Core i3 and for the same price range. Google Intel Celeron vs Core i3 if you want to know more.

Review: I bought two of these laptops back in 2021 and one of them just stopped working a couple of months ago out of nowhere and I wasn’t even using it. There is an error message ever since I opened it that says “Boot Device Not Found. Please install an operating system on your hard disk”. The laptop was already slow to begin with which is why I barely used it. If I had known I never would have purchased them. What a waste of money.

Review: I love the dusty rose/ pink colour for the laptop, and overall I am very happy with my purchase especially since I got such a great price, and it came with one year Microsoft 365 to test out!My only negative feedback is that I do find it slow and lags a bit, but it’s not an expensive laptop and the processor is slower, so it’s to be expected. Still in hindsight I wish I’d spent a bit more money and purchased a faster product.
