Okay, first, let me get the cons out of the way. The USB cable/charger is too short. I tried to use a usb extension cable to make up for this, but it seems to not pick up that it's plugged in. I'm not sure if it's because the cable is too long, or I need to try another one. I'm still tinkering with this. I basically just don't want to pay the exorbitant amount that you'd pay directly from Asus. Not a deal breaker, just minor annoyance. I'll figure something out. Something that I'd noticed while I was using it when charging was that the plug into the unit seems a tiny bit off kilter. Shouldn't be an issue, I just hope that over time it doesn't make the entire port loose. Other than that, the tablet arrived without any issues and it's absolutely beautiful. The display is crystal clear and very impressive. It's nice that you can view the screen at various angles and don't lose any visibility. The unit itself is very lightweight and as thin (or thinner) as most of the droid phones out there. This is perfect for me to take to school and it won't weigh down my bag (like my laptop). The touch response is perfect. It doesn't skip or hiccup. Android 3.1 (yes, it came updated!) runs very fast and fluid. I spent most of all day on it yesterday adjusting the settings to my liking and downloading various apps, whether they were games or apps I would find useful for school, and was pleased with the overall performance of the system. I mainly got this tablet as a semi replacement for my current laptop. I plan on getting the keyboard dock later on. My main uses for this are going to be misc. daily things as well as school related work. I spend a lot of time waiting at doctor's offices, so this will be great to help pass the time. I also like that this includes Polaris Office. I'll be able to work on homework and view ppt lectures that my professors post online. Given the portability of tablets, this will save a lot of paper. No more printing out lectures! And even if there are compatibility issues with Polaris, I can still go online and use Google Docs, which works perfectly in the browser. Never mind that this also is a GPS, camera, video camera, can be used for word processing/misc. documents, is a video viewing device, an ebook reader, an mp3 player, can be used for daily internet usage, and game play. Being android, it has many similar features as its phones, but I think it has more of an edge because of the size. You can't exactly write out word documents, edit photos and movies on a phone without being limited due to lack of work space, and reading ebooks is nicer on the bigger screen. I've only had this a day, but I already knew how nice this tablet was prior to buying it. The price offered here was one hell of a deal and I grabbed it while I could. I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable tablet. Overall, a good portion of the android tablets offered are basically the same with the same OS, processor, video, all that. It's a shame that the new, upgraded Transformer 2 will now be in the same price range as the other guys. I'd recommend jumping on this deal asap. It's a great tablet and the versatility with the keyboard dock gives it an edge over everyone else (extra battery AND usb ports? Yes please).
