Quality


Clean system with no bloatware, ran a full scan using avg, bitdefender, and windows defender (offline).

Competitiveness


Overall, i think this is a great alternative to a laptop.


The intel n100 is powerful enough for things like homebridge which is what i mainly use it for.


It's worlds faster than my school district issued machines, even though the processor is a lower model than theirs, and it's very snappy.
