To be honest, this is an older laptop. If you do light work, it is fine. I have even done digital marketing on it, so it is quite good. You can easily use it for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word files without any issues. I have used it myself. However, there is one issue: the battery backup is very low, about 40 minutes. You can use it while plugged in, no problem. Final word: you can take it for normal tasks, otherwise skip it.
