Excellent tablet

This is a fantastic little device. Extremely light and speedy. The optional docking is excellent although there is a good deal of bounce in the keyboard causing mistypes.

Ultrabook is good!

The ultrabook is good in itself but I have not had the chance to use it yet as this Windows 8 is confusing me. I think in time, I'll be able to love the suppose to be new features and convenience they're talking about.

NOT BAD AT ALL!

I bought this ultrabook to take with me on my deployment next month, I have a $4000 gaming pc that i do all my hardcore task on and is extremely fast, so of course when i use this lap top it cant compete in speed and task wise. but i have to say for just a web browsing and simple task this baby is sweet for the price...

Good for the money

The Ultrabook works great. The only problem I'm having with it is the mouse pad. It is super sensitive, and when typing it gets in the way. So, not too great if you are doing major assinments unless you had a seperate mouse and turned off the pad. Other than that issue the Ultrabook's speed and preformance are reasonalbe for its price. Not a super light Ultrabook so it feels durable. Great for basic school work and internet browsing.

Great laptop for the money

This laptop was easy to set up and has worked perfectly since day one. Windows 8 is getting easier as time goes one. I love the sleek design. 9 key pad is a bit slim from what I'm used to.
