Disclaimer: if you are looking for a high speed workhorse, straight out of the box, forget it! This is a barebones laptop. Reviewers who have cautioned you about a slow setup are correct. You will spend an agonizing amount of time downloading and installing both windows and Lenovo updates. After that, for this product to be useful, switch out of Windows 11 Home in S, in favor of Windows 11 Home. Then you will be able to download a better browser and enjoy your favorite apps. Doing this will improve usability. Again, this will not make it perform like a $1000 machine, but it will certainly help. I deleted Macafee, in favor of Defender already installed, and negated One Note, One Drive and the Microsoft 365 one year subscription. I don’t advise deleting Lenovo Advantage as it updates the BIOS. This device has a very usable keyboard and responsive trackpad. The unit is attractive and appears to be solid. I originally bought it knowing that it had low end specs thinking that I would convert it from Microsoft to a Linux based OS. If that is your intention, this will be an excellent choice. If not, consider doing something similar to what I did. With patience you will be able to make this bargain priced laptop useful and enjoyable.

Minimal packaging. Make certain that you don’t throw out the USB receiver contained in a cardboard flap near the boxes’ opening. Simply plug in the receiver and the keyboard and mouse are functional.

Works flawlessly. Plug in the dongle, let the computer read it, and the mouse is immediately functional. I replaced a LOGI Trackball mouse as, due to peripheral neuropathy, it simply became too difficult to use. This mouse, as basic as it is works perfectly. The size is good for daily use, but small enough to be used for travel. I am quite pleased. Functional, easy to use and affordable.

I am hard of hearing. I have experienced difficulty on zoom/ go to meeting/ conference calls in the past. In addition, I utilize speech to text software. This headset is an asset in both regards. I have successfully used my Insignia wireless earphones for digital conferencing previously, but had difficulty with dictation. This is no longer a problem. Great value for the money.

I work remotely thru a laptop and CISCO phone. Is this compatible

I have used my headset successfully for Zoom meetings via computer. I do not use them for phone calls as my hearing aides Bluetooth to my phone. The headset is quite lightweight and comfortable.
