A friend of mine has one, he seems to love it. I'm looking for something I can do casual browsing while Netflixing on the couch. I have a nice desktop for heavy stuff like Photoshop and GoPro videos, but I'd like to be lazy too.
Anyone have one? For $200 it seems pretty useful, I'd add the $50 keyboard he has. He's fairly tech-y so I trust his opinion, but thought I'd query the masses. Any advice? Or comparable ideas, for the same $$.
I'd lean towards an Android tablet myself, like something from Samsung, etc.
I just haven't been impressed with any of Microsoft's attempts at mobile devices in the past or recently and many manufacturers have realized this after buying into it time and time again. So the prices are slashed and the quasi-techy people buy them, they're cheap and they don't mind working around the occasional bug or hacking it with another OS given its price.
Similar to what happened with HP and their attempt at the mobile OS they bought from Palm (which actually had the potential to be a decent mobile OS with enough development, but that never happened).
Just my $0.02
Tempting price. I still dislike Windows 8 or 8.1, but at that price, well, it tempers my dislike.
I don't know if I played with that specific tablet, but the cheaper one at Best Buy and such is appreciably slower than the much more expensive one.
I dearly loved the magnetic latch keyboard on the Windows tablets.
I/we committed to a laptop. While I don't regret that decision per se, we all agree that something like this likely would have been a better route to go with.
