Using this laptop for school work since the coronavirus pandemic.  It was bought for my granddaughter so that she can do homework on it from home.  So far, she likes the bigger screen and the touch screen on it.  She is seven years old and isn't having any trouble with this laptop.  Don't know about battery time.  For a seven year old it was worth the money.  It should get her through a couple of good years before handing it down to her four year old sister.
