It’s good and yes, you can play sims. Pros: I can play sims, download things at a normal pace, and I can open up a lot of tabs and it’ll work fine.Cons: It does have its moments of buffering slightly but usually it will run smooth and normally. Battery life only lasts up to 5 hours but it’s whatever in my opinion. If you have a game running in the background as you’re surfing the web, it will be slightly slow to load up pages.———-The speakers are located at the bottom but in my opinion I don’t mind that bc I wear headphones. The volume of the speakers are pretty low compared to other computers though.The keyboard lights do turn off after only a couple seconds of being idle but that’s not much of a problem for me.I didn’t have to deal with S mode, it came perfectly fine. It did take awhile to set up everything bc they’ll be making you install, update, and restart all these ACER stuff that idk about but did anyways.After letting all of my accounts sync and downloading what I needed to do, my computer is still running smoothly. I have no big complaints as a broke student so yeah… this is good.—-UPDATE after 5 months of use:Still runs fine, I still think it’s good. I’ve tried to play BlueStack games on here but it buffs a lot. However, I can still play Roblox on here, along with LoveNikki and other visual novel games. I do recommend that you charge your computer while playing games, it makes it more easier to run for performance. I do wish I had more ram and storage to play more games but hey, college is tough.

Excellent deal for the PrimeDay $219 Price. This isn’t the best PC laptop in the world, but likely one of the best PC laptops out there in the low $200 range. I ran it through a Passmark CPU benchmark and scored an 11,500 while attached to the charger which is quite impressive for this price range. I ordered this specifically for light duty use, and to replace a 14 year old Core i7 Dell Latitude that I ran HP Tuners software on to tune my hot rod. This Go 15 runs Win 11 Home very well. The first thing I did was take it out of S mode, deleted bloatware and other Microsoft apps that I will never use. After cleaning it up and updating it, I am thoroughly impressed with this PC, and how smoothly it actually runs. Especially since it was under $240 total with tax. The battery life seems great. I am certain it is severely lacking in battery in comparison to higher end laptops, but for what it is, 8hrs is excellent IMO. This is a huge upgrade over my old laptop, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase.Don’t get me wrong, this is an entry level laptop for sure. If you game or heavily multi-task, get something with a more powerful processor and graphics. If you are a light user and want something that you can take with you, easily browse, easily stream video and hook up to a large TV… This will work well for that for sure.

Budget Laptop that doesn’t feel Budget. First off I paid a low price for this laptop. I will rate and discuss as if I paid regular price. For what I paid the screen is wonderful, especially happy with the now standard selectable dark mode. A Godsend for 70 y.o. eyes. Love the nice large keys on the keyboard. After the initial setup which was fairly painless. It just had a lot of updates to catch up on. Took about 40 minutes.Since then there have been zero surprises. The “lowly” i3 processor is quick. After all imports from my old laptop I still have 87gb of storage remaining. Everything works so far the first time I try it.So pleased to have such a nice computer that was inexpensive and it does not feel cheap.RecommendedUPDATE: 40 days later I am more in love with this laptop. The free space has gone up to 87gb on the storage drive. I guess it dumped the backup of Windows after a while. Nothing negative to report. Keep impressing me. Hard to believe it was only $199
