Hard to find another model in this category with so many features

Hard to find another model in this category with so many features. The Atom x5 isn't going to win speed races, but I really like that it has no fans and a great screen. Because it's so light and slightly smaller than its more powerful brother (Pro), it can double as a reading device (like a Kindle, that website you wanted to read on the bus, etc.). I used to have a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with a stylus but it wasn't flexible enough for what I wanted. I can do MUCH more with this device than with a standard Android or iOS tablet. I've run everything from Firefox to Minion Run to IntelliJ. If you don't mind showing a little patience, you might be pleasantly surprised. Combine it with an excellent keyboard case and stylus (both you can get pretty cheap if you don't mind repairs) and you've got an ultraportable laptop that can do a lot.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • No
