We know what it is, no need to list the specs

 

For a portable backup PC, no. I would only get one for turning my TV/Monitor into a PC for watching netflix and browsing the web from my couch.

i was literally going to buy one, then the reviews came in and it really doesnt live up to the hype. It would be a not half bad media type player for your TV and some light surfing/word processing but gaming wise your not going to be playing very much on it.

So like Netflix and Youtube is pretty much it? I was looking on reviews and they said the internet is bad, Is that true?
