I like the design and the intuitive way the volume keys swap position for up and down relative to how you have the tablet positioned. It feels robust and has decent memory. It is a little bit on the heavy side, but I don’t mind that as it makes it feel more sturdy. It’s very easy to use and came ready to go, straight out of the box.”

Wow, what a tablet. It is ultra thin but with the all metal case rather than a plastic shell [and] isn’t much heavier than my previous model. The 11” screen is crystal clear, with ultra bright sharp detail due to the much higher resolution screen and with the newer processor and more memory it is super fast compared to my older model and it also holds its charge for so much longer.”
