I bought this for a 7th-grade student.  It is a commercial business build laptop.  Made by HP for corporations to issue to employees.  It's a sturdy laptop.  A bit heavier than the one's available today, but it is designed to take a little bit of rough handling.  With an i5 processor, 8gb RAM and 500gb Hard drive this will serve a 13 year-old very well. Loaded with Updated Windows 10 home edition.
