Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsThis computer is not a straight shooter
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017
I bought this laptop for my grandma back in July. Her computer was lagging, seven years old, and it was just time for something new. I thought this would be a great fit for her. It seemed to have enough positive feedback, anyway. Well, now after two months the dang thing is falling apart, and the warranty was only for a month!
I am pretty distraught. I'm not rich by any means. Buying this computer meant a lot of extra work that month on my part, just to be able to cover bills and purchase this. What a waste.
The thing was never particularly fast, which I didn't really anticipate it would be. We could deal with that, but then it performed some kind of update yesterday and it suddenly didn't have an WI-FI adapter. So it wouldn't connect to the internet. I did everything I could, along with my roommate, and we're not 100% sure what we did, but it finally is connecting to wi-fi again after a reboot. (We rebooted this thing, troubleshooted, etc. None of that worked on the 17th. But something on the 18th changed. I don't know)
Now it's popping up errors, and rebooting on her. The reboot takes longer than it should. I'm currently waiting for it boot back up. It's been just around twenty minutes.
I've also noticed other people complaining about these exact issues. So PLEASE PLEASE. Before you buy this computer, consider the fact that:
1. The warranty is only for 1 month
2. A bunch of people are having this issue.
If I had reviewed this product as soon as we got it, I would have given it five stars, but I'm glad I waited. Obviously, this thing is not worth the money, and I can now say that with confidence.
