Welcome to IWETHEY!

New It's actually pretty well-built.
Of course at £90 it's built down to a price. But Windows 8.1 mail manages just fine with my mail, which goes back just about forevar.

I avoid Chrome and Firefox. I avoid the former because all the raw JavaScript speed in the world doesn't help if I can start IE, read the page I wanted, and close it again in the time it takes Chrome to start up. Also, yeah. Chrome lurrrrve de RAM.

I lost track of Firefox a while back. Is it even still a thing?

It's actually remarkable how good it is with 1GB of RAM. An Android 4/5 device with that much memory would be a complete shitshow. This thing is actually useable.

ETA: I cannot overstate how bad the cameras are. 2MP front and rear.

Yes it is, but they're determined to keep making it worse over time:

New Interesting.
I spent AU$600 on a Windows 8 small laptop exactly 12 months ago. I think it's 2Gb of RAM. It feels cheap, the trackpad has issues and it is just slow enough to make you say "I wish it were faster". Oddly, I happened to discover that it's one of Asus' most reliable laptops.

The mail thing is interesting. I tried pointing Windows Mail to my IMAP server which sits on an EC2 instance. It's got 25,000+ messages in Inbox and it just doesn't cope with that. I point Opera Mail at it and it slurps it all up easily. Maybe it just doesn't like IMAP all that well.
