What's great about it: Microsoft Office, USB port, Syncs with other Windows 8 Devices
What's not so great: Windows Store
I love this tablet. I really like having the authentic Office Suite and USB port. I can save a Powerpoint on a USB, stick it in the tablet, open up PowerPoint, and connect to a projector (with the $40 adapter sold separately).
The only thing I don't like is the Windows Store is no where near as good as the I-Pad store. I enjoy downloading games and several games are not available: (Ascension, Forbidden Island, Plants vs. Zombies). In addition, some games that are free on I-pad cost money on the Windows tablet. (Example: Angry Birds in Space).
This product is... Good sound quality, A touch pad that works great, Big screen size, A nice compact size, easy to set up, lightning fast
About me... Budget Conscious, Gamer, Business Professional, Comfortable with technology
I would recommend this to a friend!

The cover
so the touch cover is the keyboard right?
Yes, it is one of the keyboards they offer. There is a "touch cover" and a "type cover". They are both keyboards that also act as a cover for the device.
The only difference is the "type cover" feels more like a real keyboard. When you touch the buttons, they sink in a little like a traditional keyboard. The "touch cover" is completely flat and does not have buttons that sink in it all. It reads when you just "touch" the appropriately marked place on it. The "type cover" is slightly more expensive than the "touch cover".
Personally I have the "touch cover" and it works fine for me. Some people might like something more like their regular computer keyboard.
