    These things are such junk - even when new they were so slow and bloated that they couldn’t load my kid’s schoolwork half the time. I had to make sure he had an alternate laptop for use so he wouldn’t fall behind. I felt really bad for the school district, it was clear they were being ripped off, and that most of the machines were going to be in a landfill within 3 years time.
