Horrible, don't buy it
I just got it, charged it, and half of the keys don't even work. Waste of my time and money.

It's older firmware makes it faster for gaming than one would expect but it can't connect to wifi.
I was playing Megaman 64, the beginning of it anyway, at full speed using mupen64 plus using it's android 5.1 OS. Some of my APK applications have issues accessing the SD and it's written poorly, it's sticker is wrong about how much ROM/RAM it has. It' has a 2gb flash space and 1 gig ram if I recall from testing but it is now in storage as I bought it for emergency use as it's so low wattage. Most APK's I use are from android 5.1 anyway so I didn't have very many APK's not install properly aside from the issue some gave over accessing the SD. I had to use a special file manager to force some files to open to make certain APK files that would not do it open a file. For a mali-400 GPU it's fast though or Megaman 64 would be very laggy. Similar Android Phones that are low end with Mali-400 and similar cpu speeds are very slow with newer Android OS/firmware versions. I've not tested it much but so far it's better than I expected and nothing came broken though it does have that cheap keyboard feeling that 5-10 usd universal USB tablet keyboards would have but the frame makes it seem less apparent that the keyboard is so cheap looks wise. It looks better than it feels. It's neat that a 5v Android laptop can be bought with Ethernet and version A USB input along with that SD card slot being easily accessible. I don't know how large a size it can mount for external storage as I only tested up to 32gb due to it's chipset/software age. I doubt it goes beyond 32gb and most devices I collect end up getting no larger than 32gb sd cards and such.PS: I was using the fastest settings for mupen64 plus so don't expect Mali-400 to be great for N64, but a phone with android 8ish and the same tier of chipset would be unplayable even at the fastest settings. I love finding Androids with older firmware versions due to their speed.Edit: changing from 4 stars to 1 star. It only worked several times before glitching to where it'd not turn back on. The bulb-light stays on and often the battery light does with it even when not charging. It glitched due to some sort of charging issue causing it a software error. I got it to restart once when it did this but not twice. I only used it a few times and mainly kept it in storage for the 2 or so months I owned it. Kinda needed it for video watching during this hurricane :(I'm messing with it right now and holding power for 10 or so seconds seems to get it out of it's issue, but this issue is nerve racking. Once I randomly hit control + alt +delete and it came out of it too. This is very glitchy. I was experimenting with charging it with a usb adapter that allows it to be charged with my various power banks and or solar panels of which are all 5v devices. It even had the same amperage but maybe that glitched it, I'm not sure. It may be unplugging it before it's done charging....maybe it cannot power down and only an emergency shut down will do... I'm not sure what is to be done. It's not entirely broken but for many they would give up rather than troubleshoot constantly. I'm scared to turn this thing off until after the hurricane....it seems to need an emergency shutdown far too often. Screen black, lights still on for many minutes, it's going to brick pretty fast having to turn it off that way just to get it rebooted.To be fair, the manual warns you about adapter usage and to only use the provided adapter. Every manual says such things as it assumes you'll use too many amps one would figure but perhaps in this case it's designed in such a way that it actually freezes the software if the amps are not stable. The battery was nowhere near dead either and the manual says you can charge while using. I charged it all the way before using it the first time. The thing looks mint as well so it was probably not used before I got it.In any case it is far overpriced for what it is. Dated hardware that has a firmware issue, or something, that makes it all too easily broken. It could have been great though...Edit: changing from 1 to 3, it has not bricked yet after turning it off forcefully off and on several times. If figure I can keep it on for extended periods with the screen off during this hurricane so it's not THAT bad, but still pretty bad. It is mildly difficult by the way to swipe down from the top to easily see the battery info and change the brightness and such. If it could only turn off properly it'd be so nice. Choosing reboot works fine for some reason but plain turning it off just makes it not work properly. It's sad because I really like the thing. My battery banks and or solar panels charge it but may indeed have what caused this issue so it's a plus while also being an issue if so. I also didn't charge it weekly (or, rather, use it weekly) as it says to in the manual and that is another reason to bring up the rating, I didn't follow two of the directions even if it is overly finicky. I don't expect it to last but while it does it is convenient due to it's voltage/amperage along with it's basic shape/construction. Tablets are annoying 5v devices to use in comparison even if they were the right firmware for me. As old as it is perhaps if I waited 10 minutes or something it might eventually turn completely off but I doubt it. I will keep it on indefinitely for now, turning the screen off to save energy. It's neat, it's disappointing, it's still worth something special at the end of the day so it deserves at least 3 even if it's a 'on it's last leg' device now after only owning it for so short a time and not hardly using it.Edit: it's headphone jack feature lets lots of buzz sounds through when using other electronics such as a vibrating chair or a 5v fridge near it. Interference. Also, it's 3.5mm jack doesn't tolerate well the newer headphones with a microphone feature, the 3 black lined ones, so if using that you would slightly pull it out as you would say with something like a pocket go v1. I have a wire that extends cords and it is only 2 lined so this solves the issue. I've used the wire often with other computers and there was no interference/buzzing/static. Also, it's mouse-pad trails off to the side sometimes if you use the clicking (left) button (the right button backspaces just like the arrow would in android, also escape key does that) with one hand while simultaneously controlling the cursor with the other hand. One more thing, it's lcd is the older type that turns colors when viewed at an extreme angle. Older hardware after all.Anyway, I'm having fun while it lasts. It's sure to brick if I can't get it to shutdown properly. If not for the shutdown issue (possibly caused by the volts/amps being not precise enough) then it'd totally be worth 4 stars even while being a bit overpriced and dated a machine. I hate and love it I think.Edit: Something else in the manual that I forgo to mention is that it suggests to use the netbook weekly and I didn't do that and let it sit for many days. it's battery went down to 85% or so so maybe with it's older hardware that caused the error and not the uneven amperage and or voltage from the battery bank. I just don't know. It may yet even have all been a coincidence but as fair things go I didn't follow directions technically so it's worth mentioning. Most devices are fine leaving alone for months and don't discharge that fast. It doesn't have great hardware really but it's at least a 3 out of 5 just for being a netbook that's 5v and also a 'sort of' modern android. If it ever turns off properly I'll update the review... again. I haven't waited more than several minutes with it's screen black yet and don't want to turn it off again until after the hurricane passes. After that I may be busy. Perhaps if it has a slowly dying firmware, it's flash space and all, maybe it takes forever to shutdown due to that and after 10+ minutes it might actually shut off properly. I've seen such low end devices and or older computers take forever to shutdown but at first this one did not. I've noticed a bit of a lag when you plug and unplug the power cord and the lights for charging don't always light up when doing it despite the icon showing immediately the lighting bolt to show it is charging so I doubt it's that the flash space is corrupted. There's just something off about it hardware wise I think. I don't want to take it apart to see if it's battery has some chip in it meant or something strange but laptops, real ones, and even stuff like the old phat PSP had hacks via alterations of the battery, they can glitch a whole operating system if the chip in the battery doesn't work as designed. The thing is that it reboots so well, why doesn't it shut down (the bulb light never goes away after the battery light goes away (when the battery light even responds properly))? It's so odd.... Well, I'm meandering so I'll just stop here I suppose.Edit: changing it back to four stars as I got the error to go away while experimenting. It think that force resetting it while it was on rather than doing it after it freezes while trying to shut down fixed it. Held it for 'no reason' while on, it rebooted to where I was, I may or may not have watched a video and then I shut it back down to put it away as the hurricane stuff is over and noticed the LED bulb symbol light was finally gone. it let me turn it back on after that as normal, off and then on again without force resetting. Don't buy it if you're expecting things to be perfect but I like it still.Edit: it can't connect to the wpa-2 hotspot I have yet all other devices can that I do own. Changing to 3 stars. I kept the hotspot very close and it didn't make a difference. It has such little ram that it doesn't matter much but I was going to use it for fun anyway...
