Sloooooooooowwwwwwww
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a great buy, even at the super low price. Feels very cheap. Extremely slow. Besides that Microsoft, is such an obstacle forcing the user to virtually use only their products.

Get what you pay for.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super basic and not good for much more than browsing the web which is the only reason I bought it anyway. Just wanted something I could bring around my house and not be stuck at my desk but wanted something better than browsing on my phone.
