    Yesterday I returned the Nextbook intending to buy the Stream. When I looked at it closer where I thought it said a 1 TB drive was partially covered up by the metal anti-theft bar and it really said 1 /TB OneDrive and it was only a solid state 32 gig. Instead I bought an Asus X540S with 4g ram and a 1TB hard drive. Also a 15.9 screen. Paid $269.

    Already there is a problem but I don't think it's the machine. It's WIN10. Wifi randomly disconnects from the internet. I have to reboot it to get back online. Al the info I can find pertains to that specific problem with upgrades from Win8 or 8.2. Involves downloading some device specific driver. I don't want to download a driver until I'm sure that's what it is and I get the correct driver

    Open Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Open Your Wireless LAN Card properties > Click on Power Management tab..the option that is given to turn off the device to save power might be checked. So uncheck that.
