You cannot do the most basic things w/o the tablet rebooting. It even reboots when I don't do anything.
Even if it doesn't reboot, it's almost impossible to use, as switching between apps just kills the poor little thing. It has NO computing power, such that the easiest tasks completely overwhelms the pitiful thing.
Just opening the kindle or the google play books to actually read a book kills the tablet. And since they are my most used apps, it turns out this was a complete waste of money. If it could actually run these applications, it would be a pretty cool device. Other than a completely underpowered CPU, the hardware is pretty nice. Nice, but useless.
I'm not convinced Chrome OS is ready for a tablet device. I tried using the kindle web app instead of the kindle android app, and since it's a tablet you have no cursor to move around, so some of the UI just will not work - you can't update the text options, or manipulate the slider to move around in the book. So, web apps are hard to use, and since the android apps use too much CPU, that makes even good web apps impossible. Or least web apps not optimized for tablet operation. The feedly app relies on a cursor as well, so you have to use the android feedly app.
Given constraints like that, it makes trying to avoid android apps to not overload the CPU kind of hard. Which makes the device even more useless.
It's completely useless.
