   It's been almost 2 years since I bought that Android notebook. It's been   
   in the closet for well over a year now. So, it's hard to remember what   
   all the quirks were. I bought it because I need to use a WIFI spot   
   regularly (only dialup at home). I dont like leaving my laptop computer   
   in the car because it can get damaged, since there is not place to sit   
   it in the car where it's safe. But that notepad fits in the glove box   
   and was pretty safe there. The other reason I bought it was so I always   
   had a camera handy.   
      
   What I do remember is that I found it would connect to the WIFI, but the   
   browser was not easy to use. I found I could install something more   
   familiar (Firefox), but doing the installation was something I could not   
   figure out. Its not just a matter of downloading it and running the   
   installer, (like in Windows). I did fight with it and managed to watch   
   some youtube videos. Saving them was not possible, like it is with   
   Firefox. When I did save something and wanted to copy it to computer,   
   that again was near impossible.   
      
   Then came the camera. The stupid thing was only for selfies. I have   
   absolutely no need for that. I turned it around and without seeing what   
   I was shooting, I snapped some pics of my yard, in good light. The pics   
   were absolutely horrid, grainy and lousy.   
      
   The other thing I remember was that since it'sd owned by Google, I was   
   constantly having google trying to get me to download games. I dont play   
   games at all, and that was very annoying.   
      
   Overall, it was a waste of money. I should list it on Craigslist and get   
   what I can for it. I just went back to what I have always done. Take my   
   laptop to town when I want to use WIFI, and keep my digital camera in my   
   glove box. I also have an inverter so I can connect my laptop to the car   
   battery to charge the battery.   
      
   I dont care if XP is not supported. It works, works well, and personally   
   I would not even want any of Microsoft's newer bloated operating   
   systems. I know Windows 10 is filled with MS spyware, but it seemed to   
   me that Android was filled with google spyware too.
