Not loaded with a lot of bloatware ; Very responsive to touch input ; Impressive speed for a tablet ; Screen very readable in bright light ; Does good job converting handwritten input to text ; 2 USB ports and one micro SD port provide external input ;...
Webcam located in upper right corner - should be more centrally located ; On my particular unit, the webcam was not always recognized by Windows. Some days it would work, some days not ; Battery life 3-4 hours could be better, but is to be expected...
