I like the Quantum Access design and the company provides great tech support.  That being said, I returned my first Quantum device rather than deal with the extra challenges of upgrading from Windows 8 to 10.  Fortunately, as my review explains, there is a much better option available.My experience with the Quantum Access did not start well.  This resulted from a mixture of my skills (B- or C+) and the unique design of the computer. Thankfully, tech support for this device is superb.  The hours are limited, but I reached a tech within seconds of calling, they were always polite and professional, and there were no language barriers to overcome. My first purchase was for the non-LAN version of the computer.  It is essentially the same device, but there is one key difference, the LAN model comes preloaded with Windows 10 while the non-LAN model ships with Windows 8.  When I tried to upgrade the non-LAN model to Windows 10, the pain level was significant.  The 32GBs of memory means you need to be a little smarter than the average bear; there is just too little memory available to execute the upgrade as you normally would.  The company does provide a video blog for the best way to go about the upgrade, but I was not ready to deal with that level of stress.  It was at this point that the excellent tech rep suggested I return the original computer and purchase the LAN instead.  Best recommendation of the year.For less than 10 dollars you can add a LAN connector, which you probably won't use, but its there, and you avoid the hassle of upgrading from Windows 8 to 10.  A great bargain in my opinion.  I originally purchased the Access to serve as a navigation computer on a boat.  The small form factor, low power draw, and solid state hard drive are great selling points.  I haven't used on a boat yet, but loading the navigation software was a snap and the computer recognized the small external GPS in a flash.  I am finding the Access to be a solid little device for all kinds of other tasks.  It is fast to boot (solid state drive AND no bloatware), and overall acts just like your regular computer.  I can surf the web, watch videos smoothly with little buffering, and also runs all of the MS Office package for school chores.  Clearly, with only 2GB's of non-expandable RAM and 32 GBs of base storage, this is not the computer for photo editing or other complex tasks.  The form factor is a big plus; the device takes up no room on my desk.  The Wi-Fi connection is excellent, stable with good range.As much as I like the Access, there are a few quirks and challenges.  First, the device does plug directly into A TV's HDMI connector, but also requires a USB outlet or nearby AC socket for power.  Given the size and shape of the Access, if your TV's only available HDMI ports are next to each other the Access will block you from using one of them.  You also have to be able to reach the Access to press the on button. You might want to use a three foot HDMI extender and just place the device on your desk. I had to purchase an HDMI adapter ($10) to preserve the use of both ports.  Second, my experience with the Bluetooth capabilities is very mixed.  BT range seems to be great; all kind of devices show up as discoverable, but keyboards and mouse/trackpad devices simply won't stay paired.  You only have a single USB port so I had to hook up a USB hub ($7) to connect wireless keyboard and mouse dongles.  Headphones and other BT devices work with no issues.  Lastly, depending on your planned usage, you should budget for a high capacity micro-SD card.  I purchased a 128B card for about $50, and it works well.  Keyboards and mice I had in abundance, so the total for a fully functioning system was about $70 extra bucks.You will have to do the value analysis based on your needs, but for my purposes, the Access is a very affordable and technically well-suited option.
