   ...and it rocks!   
      
   I definitely like it a lot.  Has a very solid construction and a premium   
   feel.  As a tablet it's doing exactly what I need it to do ... browsing,   
   watching videos, reading, simple games.  The Windows 8 interface really makes   
   a lot of sense on this thing,    
   and it's very natural.  Not that I have much of a problem with it on a desktop   
   either, but on a tablet it's even better.   
      
   As far as computing oomph and speed, I'd say it's fine, but sure, it's not   
   like it flies like a high-end Core i7.  But for tablet tasks, it does the   
   job.  The screen is very nice, very clear and colorful.  I like the kickstand   
   -- a nifty little idea.     
   Haven't had any problems with WiFi connections, and the battery life is   
   extremely good.   
      
   I think it's a nice bonus that it comes with Office.  I like the fact that I   
   can look at all my notes in OneNote.  I don't know if I see myself using Word   
   or Excel a lot on this thing, but at least the capability is there if I need   
   it.   
      
   This was a nice upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy Tab.  I liked that device a   
   lot, but I like this even better.
