I bought this computer just for school, since my other laptop broke and this would arrive the quickest. It's fine for school, since I only need Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Access) for school. And for light things like browsing the internet. But as soon as you start downloading games, the storage fills up quickly (you're only given 118 usable GB). I don't consider myself much of a gamer, but I do play some fairly light games and only 1 game that is maybe a bit more consuming. I can play Smite (an online game) quite fine, without much lagg (it laggs for about 1 minute if I'm streaming while playing music on youtube, but then it stops lagging). The graphics definitely look a little granulated on the corners of some of the game characters, but it still looks fairly good. The screen itself also has a sort of faded look to it. Like the lighting is a little strange or maybe the screen is cheap. It has that "dusty" look to it, sort of like those old computers we had to use in elementary school. So when you look at the price, realize that this is reflected in the screen quality, display quality, and usable storage amount. But as a college student on a budget, this allows me to get my assignments done which is the most important thing to me.
