My daughter got the same model too and tried. Her laptop started malfunctioning. She had to keep signing in everytime she went on it. It has settled down now though. I love the floating keyboard for nighttime use or when in dark environments. It makes having a backlit keyboard unnecessary. The sound quality is good and the speed is okay for me. The size is perfect and the design compact. It's very lightweight so easy to carry around. Picture quality is great too. I think it's worth every penny.

Nice review! The screen is pretty decent as you say. I also use an external monitor & the 'f4' monitor select key works extremely well to choose what monitor you want to use. Playing videos from KZread has been flawless & VLC has played every HD video I have tried. Another excellent feature is the fanless & silent design. Cleaning out dust from any computer is a miserable experience & with a laptop it is even worse.

Did you add a graphics card or something? My picture quality is absolutely horrible. If you turn your head even the slightest half the screen is black and cloudy.

Works great after a fresh install of windows and removal of the dreaded 'S mode'. Ram is doable, though the CPU tends to max out if you're running a lot of programs. Good enough for school purposes. Wouldn't recommend for gaming. Get an SD card if you can if you want to store extra stuff on it. 64GB is kinda small. Definitely not enough for media.

Although, you'd probably get even more of a performance boost on the lite edition if Core already runs on it so well.
