I like that it can be used as an alternative to Windows 10 when using other programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Office software which don't work well with this OS yet (or at all). It's also nice because you get more privacy than if windows was installed in your computer but not necessarily easier to use compared to some of these alternatives out there now days. You have to learn how things are done differently here so its takes time getting into everything. If u want something simple go elsewhere! Try looking around first before purchasing just try running linux or another distro instead see what works best then look up net runner again only after trying those options will know whether thats worth buying or not. The benefits i'm sure everyone would say "its free" however we still need internet access to download any updates/software etc therefore making me pay monthly fees even though my hardware meets their requirements. This does come down to opinion.
