This will be the best tablet!! Wanna know why? It isn’t pricey and runs pure Windows 8 which basically makes it a full-fledged PC.

you’re one of those quick judging “atom = slow” people. Sheez, grow up please. Atom isn’t slow anymore :)

^Amen to that. Have you been living under a rock lately? This is the new (i repeat, new) Atom processor you’ve all been whining about. It has been completely revamped from bottom to top.

check out decent reviews of acer iconia w510 (particularly performance) using that same processor… just a glorified netbook.

so sorry if i offended the sensibilities of some people… let me just correct and rephrase what i said earlier…

not-too-sloooooooow. ;)

I have an Asus VivoTab TF810C which uses the same processor.

Speed is subjective.

Atom too slow? Definitely not for my use, which is personal browsing, office work and some light gaming.

Plus you can’t beat the 19 hours of battery life with the optional keyboard dock. Even with a full day of work (plus some overtime) I’m only able to run it down to 60%. I don’t need bring my charger anymore.

I’m glad the responses are mostly positive. I really think Windows 8 can be great, if people give it a try

iPad killer. But casuals would rather buy an iPad with very limited features rather than pony up for a tablet with a full fledged OS.

I’m ditching my plan to get a Nexus 10. I will instead get this one.
