I bought this for work. It is reasonably fast for browsing, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.I was a little frustrated it wasn't faster, but then I remembered I paid a little over $200 for it and it's awesome.It's light, I watch videos on it, I travel with it, the reversible touch screen is awesome. Get you one, or a few.I don't recommend for kids as it's light and seems fragile. If you want something for your kids, I'd recommend something form Lenovo that's more sturdy.
