I needed a laptop for work (while traveling). I had no issues connecting to Wi-Fi. I was able to download everything I need for work (healthcare) and it runs great. It's a little heavy but I carry in a backpack so it's not bad, the battery lasts about 3 hours, which is great, I think! I live that it has 10 key! And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg!!! My husband will be using for school (master's degree) and my kid uses it occasionally when his chromebook won't connect to Wi-Fi. Definitely worth the buy!!!
