    My husband and I bought this laptop with WIN 10 pre-installed. Overall, we have been quite disappointed.

    We bought it because a) it had good ratings for a barebones computer and the price was good and 2) my husband is not a big computer person and uses it minimally–keeping up with world news, checking email, playing Solitaire, and using MS Excel. So he didn’t need a laptop with all the bells and whistles.

    Within the first few days of turning it on, we started getting Low Memory warnings. This would come on whether we had applications open or not. Best Buy’s Geek Squad tech advised us to get more RAM. But really, shouldn’t a computer with 4GB RAM and 1TB hard drive that’s being used minimally be able to open a browser window and Excel without triggering the Low Memory warning?

    My workaround for this was to increase the virtual memory allocation. We tried buying another RAM module for the computer but Best Buy gave us incorrect information on what to buy. So we returned the RAM module and are still trying to figure out which marketplace RAM modules are compatible with this model.

    Nine out of 10 times that my husband plays Solitaire, the game crashes midstream and error messages appear related to the display drivers. Even though we updated the drivers, the problem has persisted.

    The computer also seems to have a mind of its own and will zoom from normal to 300% just because it wants to. We do not have a touch screen model and find that this happens just by using the touchpad. Our solution was to use a wireless mouse, which cut back on this erratic behavior tremendously but has not entirely eliminated it.

    We have also had many instances where the computer suddenly locks up and the only way to unfreeze it is to press the power off button. Also, sometimes when we shutdown the computer, the computer does not completely shutdown and again, we need to press the power off button and hold it in thedepressed mode for about 20 seconds.

    If you are looking for a reliable computer that allows you to do more than just turn it on, I would strongly advise against buying this model.
