Is it just as good as Surf Easy? ( Another hardware browser)
1492653
From what I've read it's fundamentally more secure than SurfEasy. I don't like that I need to send all my web browsing through SurfEasy first. I get lots of pop-ups and I probably have a virus, and SurfEasy won't protect me from that. If the main operating system is being keylogged, then they can still get my passwords since the SurfEasy runs on top of it. I don't have to worry about any of that with ZeusGard

don't expect much from web surfing on this phone. I believe it uses Opera Mini web browser but with the small screen and 3G speed, its cumbersome. This is a basic feature phone I got for my father who really uses it only for making calls. I recommend a Nokia Lumia 521 T-Mobile locked phone for the same price. The Lumia 521 is an entry smartphone with Windows mobile 8 and web browsing is better and faster with 4G speeds (non LTE). Plus as a entry level smartphone, it has many other nice features for the price. Look it up in amazon. Sometimes prices drop on certain days making it worthwhile.

Downloads apps fairly fast. The browser works well. It comes in a nice box, with a nice charger, and a pair of headphones. That is the good.The badIt charges slow, the apps have a little bit of lag, especially games. Mine broke soon after I got it, the newer model may be better. I hope this answers your question.

yes, yes, and yes, Not a bad machine at all. I suggest you get the Win 7-64 however and 8 GB RAM. Win 8 is too clunky. Must have been the Win 95 dev team who made that.

I would suggest you get a later version that would allow for more ram to be added. This machine is slow. Could be a headache for tasks that require heavy files or working with programs that require speed. I use this for documents and internet surfing.

I've had no problem using IE and Mozilla Firefox; I assume Chrome would be fine also.

The web browser works just like your laptop or destop pc. I limit what my children can access on theirs with a program but I have not had any issues with things I'm looking up.

I think it is, but to be honest I regret buying it.... Its extremely slow to load, internet takes forever to load pages, and I have a 90 mbps internet connection.... I'd go with something that has atleast 6-8 gb of ram, and 3rd generation i5 processor or better

The hardware is more than capable. However the GUI front end was quite different than off the shelf routers. Many advanced functions were as of a couple of months ago only available from the command line. I've got one running at home for basic NAT, and saturate my a 25 Mb/s cable connection with torrents and it has no issue with that. However a high end Buffalo with DD-WRT , even if you turn off the radios would be my first choice. Unless you are going to use the POE for ubiquity WiFi.

Not out of the box. You have to load a BIOS that has everything Windows needs (see http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/03/review-asus-brings-chrome-os-to-mini-pcs-in-a-low-power-inexpensive-package/) It's none trivial and not entirely stable. And given the specifications, this is a woefully underpowered machine to run Windows. Linux stripped down or Chrome OS? It flies (Mine has 6GB of RAM everything else is stock and I'm a power user. No lag, great performance. I use it as my primary system every day now).

Yes it is. It operates like a separate app, with its own window, toolbar, etc. Works pretty well, not great, but adequate

Unfortunately it's not. BUT I've had multiple large programs running at once and it doesn't bog at all. For everyday media/home use it doesn't skip a beat!

Yes, it has a web interface. I find the Easy Config utility UI to be much better.

I haven't had any problems yet. I was used to windows vista so the way its organized takes some getting use to. I noticed my Chrome is not working right but the Internet icon is fine. It claims to have its own malware protection built in. No problems there so far. Hope this was helpful.

I tried it. It works...but. It's a beta and not ready for prime-time. Looks like it will be more touch friendly. If your comfortable with loading operating systems, try it for the weekend. You can always go back. I did and I'm not a real tech savvy.

The unit already has several built in Apps such as Netflix, Hulu+, Pandora, etc.. The web browser allows you to surf the internet, just like what you do with your PC. If you purchase one, make sure that you also buy an Blue-Tooth key board (any brand would do and cost less than$20) so that you can easily type in your web address. I think the newer Samsung player comes with dual core for faster upload and web surfing.

I mainly use it as a Plex client. I also use a Hausbell Mini H7 2.4GHz to control it. I've been unable to upgrade the OS from the stock (4.1.1, I think) and unable to root or even see system files. I strongly suggest installing a launcher like Google Now to improve the UI experience; the stock UI is terrible. I'm pulling from my memory here, but I think was unable install Nova. Overall, it works oka as a very basic streaming client but don't expect to run graphic-intense games smoothly. Keep in mind, I'm not a developer or coding expert so someone with basic android dev chops might be able to do more. I have 50Mbps cable service and watch Plex from a friend's device about 10 miles away.
