Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First I should mention that I only use this laptop for about two weeks, and this is my first tablet PC. So be cautioned for my unintended bias.
Pros:
1. the price. You cannot find other tablets on the market with similar specs (e.g., cpu, HD, and ram) at this price range. Tablets from Lenovo or Dell would cost you double.
2. The cpu (i3-ulv) seems to be (or more than) powerful enough for most applications. I don't play computer games, but I do lots of cpu-demanding scientific computing. It turns our that this machine works pretty well, and the response is quick.
3. The metallic design looks modern and cool; the build quility is great.
4. Good battery life. I think it can run for 5, 6 hrs on battery (but I should confess that the estimate comes from one of the windows 7 desktop gadgets; i haven't empirically tested it myself).
Cons:
1. Maybe it's because of the 7200 rps HD, I can sense a constant vibration when I lay my palm on it while typing.
2. The static from the HD and fan (or something else?) can become a little too noticable in a quiet environment.
3. The air blown out of the vent can get warm under high CPU utilization. Right now it's not bothering me at all, but if I switched the cpu to i5 then the heat might be a point of concern.
4. The useable screen area is actully one inch less than the proclaimed 12.1".
5. The laptop is preloaded with too many bloatwares.
But overall this is a great tablet at an affordable price. Highly recommended.
