I try to use Metro-based apps mostly, and that is what I think it is excellent for.
That ain't happening! Sometimes, I don't feel like carrying the heavy laptop bag around, but this thing is much lighter than a laptop!ġ MB of RAM? It hasn't slowed me down, though I have yet to install Microsoft Office (which I may not because I have access to Office 365 and I am in a WiFi zone most of the time). Like someone already mentioned, I thought that if I don't like it, I will return it. He also referred to the 4-stars rating on Walmart's website. I recently purchased the hybrid computer because Rick Broida of CNET mentioned and recommended it as a good buy. Not returning this one, it's a keeper.and will shove my other laptops to the closet. I am very happily amazed with this 179-buck notebook pc.
I was totally amazed at how zippy and crisp it works, better than the Acer C720 Chromebook, and way way better than my high-end Android tablets when it comes to internet browsing on Chrome browser, Office applications, Skype, YM chats, etc.įor daily use, this will be me real computer henceforth, if I just wanna stay away from my desktop Windows 7 pc. This Nextbook 10.1 Windows 8.1 combo is going to be a real addition, not a whimsical "toy" at all. Don't get me wrong, I have a real desktop high-end Intel Core 8GB pc, 2 high-powered laptops, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Android tablet, Netablet, and of course the trend-setting Acer C720 Chromebook. But no, I was soooo wrong, very very wrong in my apprehensions! The moment I turned it on and set it up, I realized that this is no toy.this is a seriously good performing Windows 8.1 real computer for daily use. I knew I would just be returning this to Walmart after a week's toying around. I bought this one from Walmart last week, just out of curiosity coupled with apprehensions if this would be a cheap toy windows 8.1 device. As a comparison to your Dell laptop replacement, these are replacing the (happily chugging along) Dell 2400 desktop that is 12+ years old! I have no doubt it will outperform that! But, no, I don't expect it to perform as my primary development PC. I might even pick up a third to toy around with the Win 10 Beta. In summary, I got 2 Nextbooks for the price of 1 ASUS Transformer. Nor am I expecting the device to run developer tools or apps like Gimp/Photoshop. I am not expecting the ability to have 5 apps, 10 docs, 40+ browser tabs, and so on all at once. I have monitored the memory use on my primary PC and even the 1GB will be adequate for Office. The 1GB gave me pause, but I still plan to install Office 2013 Student as I am not a fan of 365. They are for the kids that will need light computing, browsing, etc. However, these tablets aren't for my primary use. I have enjoyed my original Android transformer for 3 years and would have gladly done another Asus. My original frontrunner was the asus transformer T100TA that orlbuckeye linked to. Immediate impressions are solid feel and adequate performance. The *2* I ordered just arrived yesterday.
