I purchase this item within a week of release . in the past two month of daily use there have be no issue , problem , glitch , or hardware failure . it be not a ipad or android tablet . for all those people who think they would be run app or have a thin ipad they will not be happy . what it provide be a full service Windows 7 computer that run all window application without a hitch . it will perform any and all window service and will not crash or fail . in my work I require offsite access to a database that be encrypt . it will only work with a window 7 system . for I , there be no option but a win base computer . I require portability , ease of use , and reliability . this system work for I . go from sleep to full screen access be seconds . there be few area to be note : 1 . -rrb- several reviewer have note it be neither as light weight or as smooth as the ipad with respect to touch screen and some program . this be true , however , it be not limit to the Apple system . it be a true 64 bit computer . 2 . -rrb- the lack of 3g be decry as a fail . from my point of view this be a benefit . all system that come with pre install WAN card typically lock you into carrier that may change technology or charge . I find the preferred system be one that allow for a tethered computer . 3 . -rrb- the bezel issue be note on several review board . the comment have be that there be screen elevation where the glass be not flush with the case . I have carefully evaluate my system and find that at the lower left side there be a less than 1mm elevation that be virtually imperceptible . in two month of daily use there have be no degradation in the case . 4 . -rrb- the battery life be actually quite good when the system go into sleep mode after use . I use the system and place in in sleep after use . I easily get a full day of use . I have show this system to several of my co worker . they be now in the process of use this as a replacement for they win 7 notebook .
