Overall, this is a great device that tries to give you all of the pros from a tablet and a laptop and for the most part it comes real close, most of the things I don’t like are little things but they do tend to add up.
The i5 processor and the 8GB of ram are great for most people. The 128 GB of storage I find to be a little tight for me. I feel that I need the 256. I use it more for productivity (office suite, work apps and light photo editing) I don’t feel the need for the dedicated GPU.
If you are looking to make this your one and only laptop, it’s a good choice, but you are best thinking of this as a laptop 1st and a tablet 2nd. If you are looking for a tablet look at the surface Pro 4. If you are looking a laptop that is also a tablet 2nd then the book is a great choice.
Pros: • Great design. this is a solid device. • The track pad is great when compared to other windows devices and the real keyboard is great addition. • The tablet is light and pen is responsive and works great. • Magnetic pen holder. • Windows 10
Cons: • weight, since the top is a tablet the its top heavy and when its being used as a laptop you notice the weight. • There are no ports on the table so you have no USB or SD card when just using it as a tablet. • It slides, it has 2 strips on the bottom that are supposed keep it from sliding but they don’t work very well. • No SD storage in the tablet only in the keyboard base. • The gap when closing the device. I find lint and junk in when taking it out of my bag. I am going to see about getting sleeve for it.
