It's good for what it is, Dont expect it to replace a "proper" laptop, it does everything a proper laptop would do, (full windows 10, fast enough to run most apps and i even managed to play some dota 2 on it!) so even though it can do what a proper laptop can its the size and keyboard that make it less usable, The keyboard is very small so expect to be hitting the wrong keys all the time, the touchpad is ok but jittery when scrolling etc. The screen is acceptable but the size makes it hard to use for long periods, its top heavy when docked to the keyboard so will tipple over if its on your knee (it does stand up when on a flat surface though) I find the biggest issue i'm having is the windows operating system though, i really hate how awkward it is.
All that said though my main laptop is a macbook pro so i'm coming from something of exceptional quality and usability so my views on the negatives may be overblown and it does have many possitives. Its fast for a small **** and runs everything i've thrown at it (even some less intensive games), the battery is pretty good, it has two full size usb ports on the keyboard, very portable, Unlike some hybrid devices its has a real hinge when docked not just a keyboard cover with a flap for a stand so it is undistinguishable from a "proper" laptop when docked.
overall i'm very happy with it, for the price its an excellent piece of kit as a secondary machine (browsing in bed, netflixing, bits of office work etc)

Just wait for someone to come back quoting EU legislation about having 5 year warranty or some such.

Been looking at this for a while to replace my ageing laptop. For those who have bought one what's it like?

Reviews seem OK on Amazon for it. As long as you don't want something amazing this does the simple stuff well.
Thinking bout one for my folks at the price.

£115.99 @ Amazon (although I guess that's without the extra warranty)

One comment; the sound quality is pretty poor....I know that's quite subjective, if you get an opportunity take a listen ...with and without headphones... Other than that....it does the job....

I had my tablet delivered yesterday and the sound is very low. I've done some reading around and people have mentioned that installing the Viper4Windows audio driver improves the sound a lot. Seems like a software problem rather than a hardware problem with the actual speaker. I haven't installed the driver yet but will report back once I have. :smiley:

Of course you do, I have a dedicated use method, best tool for the job, one for testing and prototyping software before actual use, one for each OS (Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and :sunglasses: so am waiting for a Win 10, one for going out for its portability, one for travel abroad with long battery stamina (Asus Transformer T100TA), one for low energy consumption, M-5Y71, and one for performance i7-quad core. Look at it this another way, a man needs a set of spanners to do a decent job, it is either an adjustable spanner, one size fits all, or a set of spanners. Laptops/tablets could be similarly used by man and woman as for "a set of spanners".

Can it be set up in Italian ie does it give you option to choose language when you set it up to those who have set up one.

Although the idea of these devices is quite appealing, the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. HD resolution is fine for a laptop, but not for a tablet. 2GB of RAM is tight, as is 32GB of flash (which is also quite slow). The connection of the keyboard is a bit flaky, and battery life is substandard.
On the plus side, you do get a full Windows laptop and a Windows tablet for very little money.
PS: If anybody can figure out how to run Android on this, that would be great. Remix OS should work, but I could not get it to boot.
