I don't think he'd be able to play Fortnite since this is S-mode. Fortnight is in the Epic Game Store and S-mode only allows programs and games from the Microsoft store. Please, correct me.if I am wrong. S-mode confuses me since I got my wife a simple laptop for writing that utilizes S-mode. We were limited in what could be installed.
You can switch out of s mode from system settings, search it.

According to the review below for the A515-45 the answer would appear to be YES!

Good to get for a kid going to college? Was thinking of getting her the $399 asus 14" with i3 intel core processor that is going on sale at Sams in a couple days. I don't have a clue and she don't care as long as she has one for her schoolwork.

Perfect for that purpose and the Ryzen processor in this easily beats the i3.

Anyone know of any promo codes that might work. Student 10% discount through studentbeans on first purchase does not apply to sale items on acer thus doesn't work...

I'm aware of 4% cashback if that sweetens the deal, let me know OK.
