Good: Was easy to set up, is light (I have it mounted on a swing arm),
Bad: Very sluggish processor, only 5 GB storage memory (my IPhone has 6 times the capacity at 1/50th the size), poor resolution, only micro HDMI, when USB used almost impossible to find that source, inadequate printed user's manual (though it has a detailed digital manual on board)
Comment: I am very surprised at the lack of speed and the poor display. Operating off Wifi with full reception bars, this machine is very slow to respond. As mentioned in another review, the Viewsonic seems like a poor compromise btwn a tablet and a computer--it does neither at all well--certainly not worth the $400 I paid. I will probably be returning mine to upgrade to a Windows 8 touchscreen comp that I can mount on a swing arm. The slow speed is my most disappointing issue.

Comment: Just wanted to let everyone know that this monitor is perfectly capable of running Windows 8 Touchscreen. There is a Micro USB port located on the side that connects to your PC as well as the HDMI. The HDMI is for video signal and the USB is for the Touchscreen interface. Both cables are included in box. Just FYI.
