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.

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.

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!

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 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.
