Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Rating technology is tricky since it relys on the acumen of the user. So first a bit about me. I am an average tech user. I know how to fix basic problems but I really don't care about the small details as long as my device is functional. Uses: Mainly this device would be for travel or meetings. Pros: It is small 10.1 screen The battery is detachable, which makes it easier to switch out. The battery life is decent: I got a little less than 5 hours from a mix of internet searches, video watching and photo editing. The operating system is actually 8.1. It came with Microsoft Office Home and Student. It was very easy to set up. It is a very functional little computer for a good price. It has built in Windows security software The keyboard was just right for me but then I have rather small hands. It stays pretty cool when you have it on your lap for hours at a time. Cons: The touchscreen is responsive but I found that sometimes it was easy to accidentally go to a previous page or another screen entirely by touching the wrong part of the screen. It takes an inordinate amount of time to download things (but that could be attributed to my wifi) They have a somewhat limited selection of "apps" some of them (like a microphone) are already on your computer. The whole windows 8 interface is more of a step sideways than a step forward. There is not much information out there on this computer. Not even on HP's website. If you go looking for this elsewhere it has another name: HP Pavilion 10 TouchSmart 10z-e000 Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
