Best way to run Windows in a small footprint. It is just as powerful as my 10.6" notebook, but even more portable. It won't be running any graphic intensive games or photo software, but for day to day use, it is perfectly capable and has enough peripherals to get by. My only complaint is that it isn't powered by usb c, so you have to use the wall wart that comes with it. If you are ok lugging around an adaptor, or the computer is going to stay put, and you just need to surf the web and run basic programs, this is a space efficient option.
