It's too slow; if you've ever used a PC, it's almost pointless to take.

Honestly, so far this has been very disappointing: there are no real instructor classes/videos, pretty much the experience compares to a never ending power point presentation. I would not recommend this specialization, and I am only sorry it took me more than 7 days to make up my mind, so I will not be getting my money back
