I got this primarily to access my home desktop via google remote desktop, and it works perfectly for that.  I do wish it had a touch screen, but other than that I'm happy.  Whether or not this would work for other purposes, I don't know because it does use Android operating system, but when connected to my desktop via google remote desktop, it runs all Windows programs on my desktop.  The price is really attractive.  It charges up in a couple of hours - and seems to hold the charge as long as anything else of this sort.  A bit skimpy on instructions but if you are used to computers it's quite intuitive.
