Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start off by saying that I do not play video games on my computer. For this I usually use my phone or the old dusty PS3. If you are looking for a portable gaming device, this isn't it. Go look at the nvidia line. Otherwise, this tablet computer is the best of both worlds. Size: Many of the other 2 in 1 devices I have tried are just too big and heavy to hold. You need a desk or a table to set them on. Surface Pro 3 & 4, Lenovo MIIX 700, ASUS Transfromer 3 Pro, I'm looking at you! This 10.1 device is very easy to hold and is light weight for it's size. It feels similar in size to the original iPad. Not the iPad mini or that other 12" monstrosity but the original size. Keyboard: This is a source of contention for many of the people that have reviewed this unit. What they all seem to neglect is the fact that if you are on the go and using the device, the keyboard works fine. If you are going to do any sort of "real work" then just use a nice full size bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Otherwise there is a FULL size USB 3.0 port. Plug in your fancy mechanical keyboard and go to town. Battery: I am getting near the advertised rates. I think they market 11 hours and I could see myself hitting that but realistically I am probably getting closer to 8 or 9 hours. Standby time on a windows tablet is typically not that great and while this tablet is better it's not like an iPad. You shouldn't expect to charge the device on Monday. Leave it turned on then not use it again until Friday and expect the battery to still be full. To avoid standby drain just do a shutdown. It boots back up very quickly so this isn't a huge deal. Speakers: In addition to this tablet I also have a 13.3 inch ASUS UX305FA. This computer cost a lot more and the speakers are about half as good. Not a huge deal since I use the UX305FA for work and do not need the speakers. The ASUS T102HA however is used for entertainment and media consumption. The speakers are perfect for this. Display: I was originally turned off by the low resolution. I didn't want a 4K display or anything but was looking for something that was at least 1080p. The display though is perfect for the size. I was surprised by how clear the picture was when I got it. Reading text is easy and requires no magnification. Video is crystal clear. I'm no expert but the color accuracy looks fine and I can't see any pixels. Storage: 128 GB is okay for me. Most of what I do is in the cloud. I'm not watching pirated video downloaded from the shady corners of the internet so a huge hard drive isn't necessary, thank you Amazon instant video and Netflix. If you do need extra space just get a really fast micro SD card. The prices have come WAY down lately and you should be able to get a decent 128 GB card for around $50. Pop it in and forget about it. Pen: I have to admit that I do not find the pen all that useful. Yes you can write on the screen but my hand writing is good enough to up against any doctor. I type way faster than I could ever write and I am no artist. The pen seems to only be good for clicking, drawing or writing. There is not rubber end that allows you to scroll down a page as you would if you had touched the screen with your finger. I have packed the pen away for now. If anyone has any useful applications or tips for the pen, I am all ears! All in all, I think this is a great device and would recommend it.
