Bought this laptop cuz my kids were headed back to school and I wanted something at the house for my daughter to do virtual school on incase one of them gets exposed and we have to quarantine for 2 weeks.It came with Windows 10. I created separate logins for myself and each of my 2 kids. I also loaded some pics on the hard-drive cux I like the slideshow screen saver. The laptop still boots up and runs pretty fast. I did leave it in s-mode to aid in that. I haven't installed many apps. I use the web versions of everything I need cuz it keeps my other laptop pretty fast as well. I just add bookmarks of everything I use often onto my bookmarks bar. For me, leaving s-mode and installing things like chrome and stuff tend to really slow my performance. I just bookmark my Google drive and zoom and use it all thru Microsoft Edge.The battery life is pretty good. I haven't tried watching a movie or anything but I've spent hours typing up documents in Google and still had over half my battery left.The laptop is really slim and lightweight... which is great when kids r carrying it all over the house. I did purchase the extra warranty, so if it gets dropped or broken, I won't be out all my money.
