i find it to be part of my daily use when someone brings in a phone tablet or laptop for me to break down and repair or add memory and new hard drives. saves some time. I do wish it was a little faster but other wise it works great all this time its trucking along. I made a little base for it so i just drop it in and it charges. so depends on what you want to do with it. is this a workhorse no is it a leisure use Yes can it be a work horse i dont see why not i dont go crazy with jobs so cant speak for that. Im very happy with it. so perhaps you will be too.
