Let me preface this review by saying I'm a middle aged retired woman. This computer is perfect for what I need. I surf the web, do a little research and maybe stream a movie or TV show occasionally. I do not game at all. This computer boots and searches very quickly. It is also quite light and slim. Easy on my wrists when lifting.  It does have the quirks of S mode but I've adjusted with no real whining. The major quirk was mail. I am one of the last 7 people on earth who has AOL mail. I could not get my mail through AOL web page but had to link my accounts to the Microsoft mail app. Not a big problem. You can easily get rid of S mode, but once you do, you can't go back. For me, the idea of a fast, safe mode, is more important than any weirdness S mode creates. All Good here.
