Sadly, it turned out that it does not support Windows 10/11, has too little RAM and storage for most programs and the display is too small making both reading and touching iffy.

OTOH, the local open box store where he bought it has refused to accept a return since it is not defective. My suggestion that he write off the $104 Cdn plus taxes he paid for it and consider it a learning experience was not well received.
Oh dear. Seems like a case of getting what one pays for and also a case of something seeming, and being, too good to be true.
