This is a very well made machine

well built (quality

Even The built in speakers are okay for when it's late at night

One thing to note that this model does not have the built in TV tuner as shown in the pictures

NOT RELIABLE

eventually got side tracked by the technology not being quite up to scratch just yet

The only negative is the wireless screen share is not reliable

which in itself was broken previously only being accessible via a sub menu of another setting

Delivery was quick with no damage
