So far i liked a lot the design, and if it runs W10 it could be nice for performances and stuff (I use Ableton Live + Launchpad and MIDI keyboard) What do you think of it? I'm sorta digging it.
They market it as a gaming product, yet all it has is an Atom with HD405 and slow RAM. I kinda like it as an ultraportable laptop thing for web browsing/office work, but beyond that it seems rather useless.
The whole 4 cores of the x7-Z8700 (nearly the same CPU) benchmark just a tad higer than a single core of my i5-3570K. And that CPU is getting on a bit (although moore's law is dead for consumer CPUs, so it's still great).
Didn't even notice the 4GB of RAM yet. That really isn't acceptable, especially if you plan on using a Chromium-based browser.
Here's an active order window for one.

Actually, I'd say that's a pretty decent price. I still wouldn't call it a gaming machine though.
I'd take notes with it, maybe, it looks kind of neat for that though I'd still probably just get a cheap/2nd hand lenevo something. It must have cooling issues though, no?

I would say it's focus it's more on light games/emulation than "t3h r33l xXxMLGxXxtrvegamrxXx" but i guess it could run Live 8 with a USB audio interfase and a keyboard/drum machine. Nothing heavy as Kontakt tho, but a couple leads on UVI workstation or Massive should run fine. (I mainly use pre-done loops and one-shots on Live)
3D games that don't require heavy distance redening(like MOBA's) should be okay, and older 3D games before 2010. I want one for platmormers and simple doujin games, since those usually stay on Windows.
