I needed an inexpensive basic Windows machine quickly, and this fit the bill. I've had it for about 5 months. The SSD boots up very fast. I'm able to do some fairly minor video composition work, even. It handles basic office tasks and video streaming well. The downsides of this computer are 2 things to keep in mind if you are eyeing it. The external USB Wifi adapter supplied (N) would not connect to my Wifi 6 network, so I bought another Wifi network adapter (AC), which would normally work perfectly as AC works with Wifi 6. This new adapter also did not connect. The Wifi adapter senses the networks nearby fine, but just will not connect. I spent 4-5 hours so far trying to get it to connect. So I have accepted there will be no wireless with this computer, but thankfully I can use wired ethernet.** The other VERY notable issue is this computer's Intel i5 chip will not be able to upgrade to Windows 11. Windows 10 support is only until 2025 so if this computer lasts until then its total life will be 2022-2025, 3 years. Regardless of these limits, I am actually very pleased with the value of this computer so far and would recommend it - for $179 it was an extremely good deal. But in case you plan to use it for Windows 11/ past 2025, or have a Wifi network better than average, then I would warn against it.
