Works well for schoolwork and writing, like most chromebooks. If this is your first time on a chromebook, please be warned that it will be fundamentally different, but once you get used it will be very useful. Not good for gaming, it is very inconvenient  for gaming. The speakers are very good and the sound is clear and precise. Just this week it stopped charging and turning on, but it has been here for a year, so it is a passable lifespan, though not ideal.
