Hi, it is still a very basic laptop, I can’t tell whether it’s good for you. It’s decent for the basic everyday tasks, but not a fast computer and it has a low-end screen. Nevertheless, newer 2019 laptops from the same budget category aren’t much different nor better, so yeah it is still a decent entry-level laptop in 2019.
