Not suitable for frequent use

- Windows 10
- Easy to use
- Slow
I bought it to surf a bit. Despite my low expectations due to the low price, I was irritated by the slowness after a few minutes. It's like browsing the web on a tablet from 5 years ago, loading web pages in parts and refreshing at odd times. It is a device that will be useful for carrying files and for watching videos that you watch continuously, but if you want to be able to click through on youtube, it no longer keeps up. In short; looking for a smooth simple pc where you expect to sit behind it for a few hours a day, don't do it and save up for a full-fledged tower.

Plug in and start you would say. Fits in almost any TV. This gives you "normal" browsers at your disposal. Installing software is possible.

Bought especially to watch Netflix, missed broadcast and the like, it works very well for that; easier than with the chromecast and smartphone. To use apps I would use the heavier version.
