It's fine for writing papers and stuff but the picture quality is not the best. My phone has better, more precise pictures than this computer. When I watch makeup videos the contour reminds me of heat vision. That's they best way I can describe it. Sometimes the sound is weird. For example, when I put my computer on sleep mode for a few hrs and then come back, the sound doesn't work. I have to reset the computer. Maybe it's an issue with the settings. Anyways, I just needed it for school for basic things so it's fine.
