how well does web browser work?

Decent enough, definitely better than other smart TVs I have used. Thanks to the pointer mouse remote, it's easier to navigate, but the UI is still a bit large and bubbly for my tastes. Most webpages rendered correctly except for slow Javascript and no Flash if I remember correctly (not really a big deal). I managed to order food from Seamless on it, so that says something!

At first when I just plug it in and use it, no it was not very sensitive; but once I installed the software it works very well. Any command I programed works in an instant including the scrolling.

The computer seems to do about everything a regular PC does without being complex. But, I have not had a need for using these functions, but based on the web capabilities I don't know why it wouldn't.

Yes, just make sure you test it at home to make sure the setup utility works in Safari, as I have only tested it on a computer.

install aptoide market and you should be able to find an app for reading e-pub books. and you should know that this device is really laggy, as long as you stick to general use you should be fine, don't even try to use flash player in the browser. it does not have the horsepower for it, and the best browser for this tab is at m.opera.com get the mobile phone version of the browser not the mobile tab version because it cannot handle flash. You can also use opera mini and it is a bit faster but it is not as compatible with most websites, avoid the stock browser at all cost.

I'm pretty sure it's about the OS, Chrome. Since it's not widely used, there is little incentive for nefarious types to create one. Therefore, any system using that OS should be equally safe.

It runs in the Safari web browser, not a separate app so it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes. You can use any browser to control the sockets. That's how I see what's going on when I'm at work.

Startup is pretty quick. Remember, the chromebox can only play thru a web browser. I would be hesitant to stream something that requires a ton of resources.

Not at all. After owning mine for a week I was trying to get rid of it. It's so slow I can barely surf the internet. It sometimes takes minutes to load a textual page. Stay away from this computer

It does for reading mostly. It does have flash but it does not work all the time. Also browser will crash very often due to memery limitations.

It has a browser but the memory is low and you would have to buy a mouse or something to search faster. The low memory cause you to get kicked out if your trying to open to many tabs.

Yes, in fact that's the only thing that makes the using the web browser worth while. No flash so internet videos won't play.

It will be fine. Once it's plugged into your network it's all done through the web browser.

There is no web browser, there are "APPS" designed around some web pages like Facebook and Wikipedia, but no browser that lets you go to any web page, there are also "APPS" designed around some streaming sites like Crackle, YouTube and Vimeo.

Yes to chrome. I have not tried Firefox. I haven't found anything that runs on a Windows laptop that will not run on the W510P.
