I'm an adult student and my husband gets up at 3 am so I was struggling between getting homework done every night and feeling bad about him going to bed alone every night. This little computer has been an absolute game changer! It's the perfect size and weight for sitting in bed and surrounding yourself with textbooks. The larger computers were just too big and cumbersome to juggle that and books while in bed. I even used it on a road trip to do homework while I was the passenger. It's very bare bones and perfect for just homework related things. The only negative is that this specific version doesn't have a backlit keyboard for typing in the dark. But a cheap little book lamp solved that problem for me. 10 out of 10 recommend!
