Was using a laptop to trade options with Etrade and Ameritrade, I thought it was great until all of a sudden it died and wouldn’t load a web page. So after a short research period, this machine was recommended, so I bought it. I didn’t give it high hopes as it was only $100. I was definitely mistaken. This machine is so super fast, I now realize how slow my laptop was. Great machine for trading and researching stocks.
