I know it's not like a normal laptop and doesn't seem to have a machine based application so what is it typically used for? Need to buy 1 maybe 2 laptops and don't know if these are a good choice. One would be for the kids schoolwork,games like minecraft, the other would be for the wife at the shop when she often needs to resize pics and other things she finds online. The price seems reasonable but from my uneducated standpoint it seems similar to an iPad/tablet in a laptop case.
