Its hard to tell these days on the internet what is real and whats not. Especially reviews (Ive even been asked to fake a review on a project for a friend. I said no, because wtf dude). So I had to at least chime in on this laptop.I got the 16gb with N150 for a steal of a price at $269, and I see its now gone up. I was very skeptical because the price, the image showed AOC branding but the seller is Kaigerr and their other listings show their brand on laptops, and Ive never heard of this brand before. I recognize AOC as a budget brand from a monitor I bought over a decade ago, so I took a chance and was happy to at least receive an AOC branded laptop.It comes with W11 Pro but it seems to be a modified version of 24H2, which to me seems a bit sketchy but also I didnt want the full blown latest version and all its bugs. I plan to keep W11 on this device as a fall back for specific offline work programs and never want to connect if I dont have to so that Microsoft doesnt force an update or whatever the case may be. Anyway, it didnt require going online to set up, so I finished the set up wizard happily and was satisfied to see there appears to be no extra bloatware either. Though take note, there was something called SmartKeyApp installed. I dont recognize this and Ive been off of windows for almost 2 years, dont remember it from my time with Windows. It doesnt show up in Apps or in Programs and Features, so I had to go into Program Files x86 to find the folder and uninstall. Like I said, some sketchiness so be aware. I plan to keep at least Windows offline forever on this laptop, but if youre smarter than I am about IT and tech, it might be a good idea to dig a little deeper. For my purposes, I dont think Ill need to go much further.Anyway, I installed Linux and everything seems to be working great. Its not the most well built laptop, which is to be expected at this price. That being said, it performs great and looks great for what it is. Really good deal at $269, so Im satisfied. If anything strange happens, Ill circle back and update.

Looks good, works for what I needed it for. No issues so far. Worth the deal on it. Perfect size, not too heavy. My last computer runs on windows vista, this is a big upgrade.
