I bought this for a teenager who would be taking online classes.  It is quick and responsive and should stand the test of time.  It won't play AAA title video games, but that's not what it's for.  I was surprised by how little bloatware came preinstalled.  Norton's useless (and overpriced and bloated) AV comes preinstalled, but it's easy to remove and replace with windows defender.  Some might say the smaller NVME is too small, but for schoolwork and general usage, 256G is more than plenty and the performance is well worth the trade off.  (Seriously, I can't believe new laptops are still being sold with 5400rpm spinning drives only.... can't believe people buy them either).  If you actually need more space, the box actually includes the bracket and cable needed to add a larger sata HD, which is a nice touch imho, since those things can get hard to find once a laptop model is a few years out of style.  All in all, this laptop is a solid workhorse so far and a great buy for the four hundred thirty-something I paid for it.
