ASUS E200HA

Hey guys, I'd like to know what you think about the aforementioned notebook.

Operating System Windows 10 Home
Chipset Integrated Intel® CPU
Memory OnBoard Memory 2 GB 
Display 11.6" 16:9 HD (1366x768)
Graphic Integrated Intel® HD Graphics
Storage - 32GB eMMC 
             - 64GB eMMC 
             - 128GB eMMC
Product page: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS-Vivobook-E200HA/


Since the 2Gb of RAM aren't upgradable, should I even consider this laptop? I really like it for the price and form factor but if it'll be unusable I'd rather have nothing, I couldn't even use Chrome on it, probably!
I would also get the cheapest version with only 32Gb of storage, do you know if it's ok using SD cards to store programs?

I am the one who knocks.

Don't expect to do any intensive tasks with it. I'd recommend it just for web browsing, note taking and maybe some very light gaming. Consider it like a Windows tablet on a laptop form factor.

Yes, that I knew :D

What I'm wondering is if I can even do web browsing on it! :(

You probably can, but I wouldn't recommend using Chrome. You will have a similar experience as on the devices tested by Lon Seidman. Feel free to check his 2015 playlist too.

Do you think it'll be much different if I use Mozilla? Do you know how much RAM Windows 10 needs to run?

 

Edit: I see that guy suggests using Edge.

Chrome uses a lot of RAM. That's probably because every tab you open is a separate process. Therefore I wouldn't recommend it on a low end device. Firefox and Edge use much less RAM.
