This portable and okay if you know what to expect in with this type of machine. Obviously no miracle with a 1GHz processor, this is perfect for word processing, Excel, emails and surfing that's all. It is not for games obviously. After changing the memory card for 4GB instead of 2 and also after selects the optimum performance settings for Windows 8.1, it becomes a very good portable, lightweight and practical as good value for money!
