Looks perfect and runs apps etc perfectly. But.

For some things I need Bluetooth. This device won't run Bluetooth without completely stealing my Wi-Fi bandwidth. I get down 12m but turn on Bluetooth and I fall to 1m or less. So it is impossible to watch YouTube videos. Even just listening to music on BT, albeit not as harsh, still results in audio stuttering/stopping and starting. Next thing is that the wifi range is not as good as all my devices. 50 feet and the downward speed is 1/3 down. 8M. All my devices work over 11M. Therefore I am unfortunately sending the device back. The problem with BT has been known for a long time. I don't think there could be any problems with BT. My Mac PC Win 10 laptop works fine with BT and there is absolutely no bandwidth traffic! I borrowed an old Lenovo Chromebook from a friend and he shows the same thing. The WiFi speed was good. Jim
