Yes, it's not the quickest thing, however it can be very fast with some small tweaks.
1) Opted out of S mode - pretty painless.
2) debloated - just manually uninstalled the preinstalled apps. Im sure there's a quicker way to do it with a script.
3) quick adjustments to turning off privacy, notifications, things that send data to Microsoft.
4) 4GB of memory is soldered and added a 8GB DDR stick on the open RAM Slot. System recognizes 12GB now.
5) Open m2 SSD slot - Popped in a old 250 GB Samsung 970 Plus. Boots perfectly and much faster plus have the built in 128GB eMMC for storage. The SSD operates at 3500Mbps where as the eMMC storage is at around 300Mbps.
6) There is also a SD card slot for more storage.
Includes 1 year of office 365 which is solid value if you were already paying $70 a year for it.
The only con I find is the screen. It is VERY lackluster and leaves alot to be desired. It is usable, but thinking of plugging in a monitor if I was going to do any lengthy work on it.
USB C only does data, no charging or display port, however I knew that going in.
It is light and plasticky in a good way and the blue makes it seem more expensive than it is.
Step 1. Type "UEFI" in the start menu.
Step 2. Click "Change Advanced Startup Option
Step 3. Click "Restart Now" in the Advanced Startup" section
Step 4. After the computer reboots it will come up to a blue screen with "Continue", "Turn off your PC", "Use a device" and "Troubleshoot". Go ahead and click "Troubleshoot"
Step 5. Click "Advanced Options" and click "UEFI Firmware Settings" and click "Restart"
Step 6. This will open the BIOS screen. Go to the "Boot" menu and make sure that option "eMMC" is on the bottom and your SSD is above it.

A 6-year old Intel Core i5 8th-Gen U (mobile) CPU is TWICE as fast as the Pentium N6000. I can go to a local PC recycler and walk out with an old donated laptop that's twice as fast as this for pocket change.

Same laptop family but comes with 8gb of ram, 256gb of real SSD space and a CPU that is ~4x as fast. It's only 14" vs 15.6" which is a drawback for some, it also lacks a number pad. The out of the box price difference is $80 but that drops to about $40 if you consider the all but mandatory upgrades.

1. The display is lackluster but this is expected for a TN panel and performance is in line with what you would expect for a $150 laptop.
2. The laptop is light (not heavy) and the keyboard is decent although not backlit. Not that I would expect a backlit keyboard with a $150 laptop.
3. The deal breaker for me was the poor touch pad. Trying to do 2 finger scroll is very frustrating. Some times it will not scroll. Some time it will scroll and then stop scrolling. When trying to restart scrolling, the trackpad recognize the motion as a click to select and opened up another web page. Overall, frustrating. Now, I did not go into touch pad settings to adjust the sensitivity or the speed or acceleration.
Maybe the unit on display has a faulty touch pad. So I would suggest going to the store and trying it out first if you have that option.
I ended up getting the HP 15.6" i5-1335 laptop for $500. With better IPS touch screen, 16G DDR4 and 512G SSD. The touch pad is so much better especially with the ability to do scrolling using the touch screen. Well worth the extra $350 IMHO

"this laptop will run MS Paint, Calculator, and Notepad with ease, however if you're a techie that wants to tap into the power of the internet, you'll want to upgrade to one of our web browsing capable systems"
