I use it to read files, check email, and occasionally web browse. I am the only one reading the screen and find the dual screen quite satisfactory. I personally find the weight and price a very good trade off for a TFT screen since I don't require a lot of multimedia features or play games. The battery life is about 2-2.5 hours using it as I do.
