With the price being so low, I wasn't expecting much. After a few weeks of use, I can confidently say that this device is worth much more than $500. The device has masterfully handled every task I've assigned to it. The touch screen is, for lack of a better phrase, a nice touch. Before I received this computer, I used my phone as a computer more often than I did my actual computer. Now that I have this device, I can't wait to put my phone down! I can even manage several of my phone's apps directly from my PC! I would highly recommend this computer to anyone who does a lot of simultaneous casual browsing and computing; this PC's multitasking potential is insane! I'm proud to own it!
