Topic: cruising the internet is faster on my wii u

Any one else been using the Wii U to cruise the internet much? I think it's funny that using the Wii U is much faster than using my mac laptop.

you should check your laptop. i have no idea how mac things handle but a pc should have a better browser than the wiiU if the pc works right nad it is organized well

Wii U browser is pretty fast. And because it doesn't have flash support it also avoid a huge speed problem that the internet suffer nowadays: flash ads.

Actually I've found that the Wii U is great for sites like YouTube and KissAnime, the videos look great and load extremely fast. I love the Wii U browser, its shockingly very good.

for one second I thought the title of this thread was "cursing the internet is faster on my WiiU"

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this!

Indeed it's an awesome browser experience.

yeah I'm impressed how fast videos load. The Wii U works like a charm

Meet Wii U. The most expensive internet browser ever made. Buy right now or regret it later.

Actually far less expensive than an iPad.

I use it 99% of the time as well. Of course that's also because I'm otherwise relegated to an ancient Windows XP PC since I can't afford my own laptop yet.

Get an SSD... or just a new computer...

@skywake Like I said before, I HAVE NO MONEY. Plus my parents refuse to buy me one. So until I eventually manage to get a job, I'm stuck with what I've got.

It's fast, but I find a staggering number of youtube videos won't play on it, especially if you want to watch music videos. I guess it thinks it's a mobile device??

@Howard24U The Youtube app is the same as other 'smart' or 'portable' YouTube apps, where they show you what's popular and new; what has the most plays.
I've never actually tried watching Youtube, from the site via Wii U browser, but I have noticed — when using it — it's a very smooth loading time. I always watch the Nintendo Directs, from my Wii U first!

@WingedSnagret
I wasn't talking to you I was talking to the thread. I have five year old laptops that browse the Internet as fast as the Wii U does. Ones that weren't even high end at the time. So if the Wii U Browser blows you away.... you really need to look at getting new gear.

Yeah! Heaven forbid a modern console be used for non-gaming purposes.

I suppose with the GamePad's microphone, one could just shout curses much faster than one would type them.

I don't think the hardware of the computer effects the speed of the internet as long as you're just browsing. I browse just as fast on a 10 year old laptop with XP than on a new computer. What people are referring to is the seamless responsive Wii U browser, which is super comfortable.

@skywake Oops, sorry I snapped at ya.
