FAIR WARNING!! I got this laptop since it was cheap and I just got a job hoping for something somewhat decent. But this laptop is verrryyy slow, it has trouble opening chrome, changing settings, typing lag etc. When it finally loads something, it works okay until it has periods of freezing (esp if your doing anything remotely intensive) It takes 2 minutes of wait sometimes to just let the laptop warmup and let me finally click on something on my Home Screen. I HIGHLY suggest looking for something else, I’m usually optimistic and mindful of low budget tech but this one is a hard pass, I’d rather use my phone for daily browsing. Invest in something a bit better

The only way this laptop would be okay for that is to change to an SSD and change the operating system. My friend had one of these and was going to throw it away. I put in an nvme m.2 ssd. Upgraded the ram and installed Linux pop_os! Operating system. Now it's a usable laptop. But just changing the operating system to Linux without any upgrades makes the laptop much more usable instead of using windows.

I dont own this laptop. so i dont know the info. but i noticed people have been stating that its slow. the reason for that, has to do with its Processor, (under system info) look up Processor, that GHz# should be atleast 3.00 Ghz, or higher. and Ram should be 8gb or more. The processor is the main thing that helps run the pc/laptop smoothly. anything 2.00 or less is gonna run slow or laggy.
