This is a great laptop. The tablet feature is great. I haven't used it in a real-life kind of situation but the handwriting recognition feature seems to be great. I was using the screen a lot at first just because of the novelty of the thing but I'm adjusting my habits and using it more judiciously, it's great for a quick click or for scrolling up a page. I can't wait until more programs make use of this technology as it's very intuitive and fun.
The size is a nice change from the 15+ inch monster I had before. I can actually put this one on my lap, which is great in tablet mode (great for reading comic books). It gets a little warm after a while but it hasn't been an issue.
The battery life is amazing and if it weren't enough the modular bay feature takes care of it. The speakers aren't the best but there are no problems with headphones or external speakers. I had read that some touchscreens don't have great image quality but this is not the case, the screen is bright and clear. I love the security features, the fingerprint reader is just cool and the code to turn on the laptop is great, I don't have to worry about any thief getting anything more than a paper-weight out of my computer.
This is a great computer, maybe a little expensive (I customized mine a little to get a faster processor and hard drive) but that's what happens when you get brand new technology.
Very happy with my purchase and I have been showing off to everyone and certainly recommending it.
