I bought it for my daughter, mostly to let her take part in online classes during the pandemic.

Initially, I was disappointed with the performance, but with some tweaks (namely, replacing the default browser with "Chromium Media Edition") it can handle a 15-person hangout well enough. It definitely performs much better in that aspect than our 5-year-old iPad we used before. For one, it doesn't turn your camera off without any notice like the Google Hangouts app does on iPad when the processor usage is too high.

TL;DR I higly recommend this for a early-primary-school child (even one without strong technical inclinations.) +++ Very small, easily fits on the desk + Cheap: I think for this price we would only be able to get an old and clunky PC. + Good way to introduce your kid to Linux and its quirks (like only being able to connect a bluetooth speaker after you try 3 times... ;) ) + Potential for future fun with hacking - Not very good for games (but we like to keep an eye on our children's screentime anyway, so they can play on a console in the living room instead)
