A fantastic and extremely effective working tool
In a nutshell, it's an awesome product, but there are 3 key things which need to be improved:
1) CD/DVD drive is necessary
2) Longer battery life
3) Reduction in weight
On the whole, it's a great product and can do everything a notebook can do plus more. I spend virtually 100% of my time using just the tablet without the keyboard. It replaces a paper notebook and I run all the same applications I have on my desktop PC.
HOWEVER, its one downfall, which is huge, is the lack of a CD/DVD drive. Although a USB multi-bay unit is available, I don't particularly want to lug it around with me everywhere I go, and for the amount that we're being charged, I think it's poor that there is no CD- or DVD-RW capability, and if that came as standard as part of the product, I would rate this as almost perfect -- the only other thing is battery life. If you travel a lot, as I do, and want to watch a DVD from the tablet, you're limited at the moment.
