It is, seen nothing but problems with it as of yet, im an IT Tech. It has issues with Apps that require older versions of Java, flash, etc. I Test it out at work and I definitely use Firefox as my main browser. It Just hasn't been out long enough yet.

What is the point of the gas tank placement? You are going to smash that thing when you bottom out! Is that a precision 88? My old pt88 midframe spooled slow, i think its alittle old technology.
