I chose this over a Kindle 10 upgrade, and I am so far not disappointed.  As a web browsing little laptop I have been pleasantly surprised. The speed is fine for browsing the internet, and yet to install any games at this time.. Viewing a random YouTube video it ran great with little lag, no slide show speed, and looked great to me.  I do recommend buying a laptop cooler because it does run lightly warm. Most games that can be played off Steam please go by minimum requirements.
