    Quick Delivery - Still Questions On Software

    I ordered on a Sunday and got delivery on the following Tuesday. That was the quickest delivery that I ever had. I can't say much yet about the computer because of a message that I received when I updated Windows after setting up the computer. It has Windows 11 but the message said that it was at the end of its lifetime. No such messages on my other 2 Windows 11 messages. And yes, it is running the latest version of Windows. I will have to check this out with my son who works for Microsoft.

    Battery life

    Seemed to be issue with battery life cos charged it over night and still got battery low screen . Also was having issues with restoring back up which likely is my (user) error vs vendor but not sure . Just decided to return and opt for in store purchase so I can get needed support in person

    It is not the one we want.

    We are hoping to find another one that is bigger and fits our needs.
