Question: How is the keyboard?

This is a great keyboard.  I also own the original Airbender that I used with my iPad 2.  It was very good and I've been very happy with it, but I have to admit, this is a nice improvement.The overall look is much improved.  It is very clean and professional looking.  It is also somewhat ruggedized though I haven't tested the overall durability.  It is much lighter than the original keyboard and some of the competing keyboards that I checked out.  The weight is heavier than you might expect if you haven't used a keyboard before, but it is a nice complement to the iPad Air.  The overall design makes it very stable when using it on your lap.  The case is designed to allow you to rotate the iPad from landscape to portrait.  This is very convenient and also allows you to choose which direction you like the iPad's buttons to be on.The keyboard itself is surprisingly easy to type on. They keys are normal size and have normal spacing.  I can type on this keyboard as easily as I can my desktop keyboard.  The keys have good feedback.  There are also dedicated iOS keys for home and lock.  Additionally there are the extra keys necessary to work with OSX and Windows.The keyboard connects via Bluetooth.  It is very simple to pair it with the iPad.  While designed for iPad, it also works with iPhones and computers.The keyboard charges via micro-usb.  It does not take long to charge and the battery lasts a very long time.The new Airbender 2.0 also has a nice new design that allows the iPad stand to be removed from the keyboard and stand alone.  This allows you to set it up similar to a separate keyboard and monitor like you would have with your computer.  This feature actually works very well on a solid surface.Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the improvements in this keyboard.  The design is nice, the keyboard is very easy to type on, and it is very easy to use.

Question: How did you like the router?

This router is just plain awesome.  For years, I worked with a D-Link DIR-655 - which was fine, for the most part.  Once WiFi became more and more popular on different devices, however, I started to have problems - mostly with the amount of connections the old router could handle.  Since we now have 2 Tivo's, 2 Xbox 360s, an Apple TV, a Roku box, an iPad, 2 computers, a wireless printer and 2 iPhones (amongst other things) seeking out a WiFi signal, the old router just couldn't cut it.  I would have to shut the  WiFi off on one device in order to get another one to connect.  I started to notice slower overall performance and more frequent dropped connections.  The Apple TV seemed to NEVER be able to connect to my PC.  I figured it was an issue between an Apple world and my PC world, but it turns out - it was the router.The Asus Dark Knight router took care of ALL of my problems.  Last night, I had 13 devices connecting to the router simultaneously - and there wasn't a single hiccup.  I was able to stream HD video without any issue - and surfing the net was a breeze.Set-up is a snap - firmware updates are super easy to get through - and the thing "just plain works".  I have no complaints whatsoever.  I've only had this router for about a month or so, but I have yet to reset it for any reason (other than the firmware update).If you have MANY WiFi devices around that are constantly seeking signal - look no further than this router.

Question: How is the sound?

It's pretty unbelievable at first, but these inexpensive headphones really give you quite a bit of use for your money! They connect easily to MP3 players and similar devices; and the bass is awesome just as everyone says it is. Moreover, at this price you simply can't go wrong.If you listen to a CD or MP3 player daily, I would recommend buying a few sets of these. They do go south eventually and you won't have to worry about waiting for another pair to ship.These are also much, much better than earbud headphones; the earbuds always make my ears hurt! The over the head strap is fairly comfortable and that alone makes this a much better choice than the earbud type of headphones.In addition, use these for young kids who may not be all that gentle with them. That way if they break or get lost you won't be out too much money.I highly recommend these headphones; they may not be the very best out there (after all, they're not Sennheiser, Skull Candy hesh headphones or Skullcrushers) but the sound quality is really quite good and you can't beat the price. You won't be too upset if these break or get lost, either.

Question: What is the flash?

I go tthis today and took quite a few shots and I am very pleased. As long as I dont go over 1/250 shutter speed there are no issues, as I go over it gets out of sync a bit, maybe its something Im missing but either way the flash is bright and has really added a lot to the pictures I am taking. Im sure spending $400+ on a flash has some benefits, but for the price you cant beat this flash. The pull out diffuser works well too. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a good flash for a good price.

Question: How do you like the screen?

Last summer I bought an Asus EEE PC 4G and was generally pleased with the tiny laptop. However, there were three things that I thought needed improvement: the keyboard, the screen, and storage. In each case, my thought was that they could be a bit larger (but not too large-after all, the main appeal of the EEE PC netbooks is their small size). The EEE PC 1000H provides those improvements and more-and for only a bit more than I paid for my first EEE PC.The main virtue of the EEE PC 1000 H is its small size and light weight. While it is larger than my 4G, it is considerably smaller and lighter than my iBook (dimensions and weight are given below). In practical terms, it fits easily into my rather over-stuffed backpack and does not add noticeably to its weight.  Naturally, if small size is of critical importance, Asus does make even smaller netbooks, such as the 4G and more recent versions.While small size is important, it is really not very useful to have a PC that is too small to use comfortably. While my 4G was quite usable, the 1000H is, from my standpoint, an ideal size. The keyboard is smaller than that of a typical laptop, but the key design and size allows for easy typing-much more so than the 4G. With the 4G I tended to just use one finger typing. With the 1000h I can type normally. The screen is also larger, allowing for easier viewing of documents. Of course, with a height of only 600 it does still impose some limits. I found the screen to be high quality-sharp and responsive. There is also a VGA output, in case you want to attach it to an external monitor.My 4G had a 4 GB SSD drive while my 1000H has a 160 GB HD. The downside of the standard hard drive is that it has moving parts and is a bit slower in booting up relative to the SSD. On the plus side, it has far greater capacity. The 4GB on the 4G was enough for the Linux OS and the base applications, but I had to rely on SD cards and USB keys for extra storage. The 1000H does have the SD reader and plenty of USB ports, but it has considerable storage space. Oddly, the hard drive is partitioned and mounts as two volumes (there are are also hidden volumes as well).While I did not buy a netbook for speed, my 1000H is quite responsive, even running Windows XP. I did not try any recent games, but it runs Starcraft and Diablo II just fine. Microsoft Office was also quite snappy. Overall, most users will find it quite adequate for their needs. Obviously, if you ant to play the latest games or edit video, you will want a laptop with more power. But, it does give a lot of power for the cost.For a low price netbook, it does pack in quite a few extras that you'd expect to only see on something a bit higher up the food chain. These include ethernet, multiple USB 2.0 ports, wireless N, and bluetooth. Everything worked well-it connected to my wireless N network without a hitch. I'm not a big fan of Bluetooth, but it is nice to have that option.It ships with fairly minimal software-mostly just the OS, some very basic utilities and a trial of Office 2007. I actually see this a plus-I hate pulling crapware off my PC and would rather have a nice, clean system. I did consider installing Ubuntu, but decided to stick with XP so I could run Office, Starcraft, Diablo II, and my windows based grading program. Yes, I could probably get everything going in WINE, but I decided to just keep things simple. Besides, my 4G is running Linux.Asus claims that the battery will last for 9.5 hours. I haven't put that to the test, but it is nice to have long battery life. After all, the main point of getting a netbook is so you can easily have it with you. Good battery life is part of this.Mine came with a basic soft case, but I bought a more robust one. If you plan to toss yours into a backpack or travel with it, I'd suggest a case upgrade.Overall, the 1000H is an excellent little machine. If you are looking for a travel laptop, an inexpensive laptop, or one to use at school, this is a great choice. I plan to use mine for both travel (once I can travel again) and at school. My backpack always seems to be packed with notes, student papers, records, my lunch, a water bottle and various other things-so small and light netbook is ideal. I did like my 4G a great deal, but it was just a bit too small for typing and easily entering grades. Hence, I mainly just used it when traveling. But, the 1000H is as comfortable to use as a normal laptop and hence I plan to get much more use from it.So, should you get one? My experience has been that most people tend to over buy when it comes to laptops. That is, they get a machine that far exceeds their needs. After all, surfing the web, doing an email and doing word processing do not take that much power. The 1000H provides more than enough power to do all that and at a very low price (well under $400). Naturally, I'd suggest trying one in person to see if you like the keyboard and screen size; but I think that most people will rather like this machine.

Question: How do you want the volume?

I use these primarily for listening to audio books. I don't think they would work for someone who runs due to their design. The charge lasts about a week for me. The earbuds are comfortable enough. The only complaint I would make is that the volume could be louder.

Question: How is the head?

I bought these to replace a pair of Sony Headphones I have had for years, and because I own a much nice pair of Sennheiser headphones.

Question: How are the customers?

Wow, I couldn't believe how fast I received it.I love you people there, I always get a confirmation email within minutes after purchasing that it has already shipped.The price was so much better than any place I looked. The price was so cheap that I'm even going to tell...and this was brand new.

Question: How is control?

I was apprehensive about buying this till I talked with a trusted friend who had one.  She said it was great and could be transferred from TV to TV in the house. (must stay within com distance of your Wi-Fi device).The Roku 3, which is the model I purchased, requires HMDI cable to the TV and Wi-Fi connection OR Ethernet (Cat 5) cable to the Internet.Once connected there were just a few very easy on-screen prompts to connect and sign-on to the Roku.ONE VERY IMPORTANT CONNECTION STEP: In my research of the Roku I kept seeing the same step emphasized to connect the Roku.  You're TV should have several "source" connections (where the source program inters the TV).  The remote control should have a "source" selector.  If you don't go to the correct "source" input you will not see the Roku input.  READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH THE ROKU.  The included instructions for mine were very easy to understand.Most programming received through the Roku is subscription based, or "Pay Per View", with a couple of exceptions, like UTube.  I am a NetFlix subscriber so I just added "ON-DEMAND" services for a few extra dollars a month.Roku 3 has a very small remote control.  It's very easy, comes with ear buds to plug into the remote for private listening, and the remote works on Radio Frequencies instead of Infra-Red to communicate with the Roku.  This means that the remote does NOT have to have an unobstructed line-of-sight to the Roku.It sounds like, from what I've read, some of the earlier models are very good also.  So, if you are counting penny's you might consider them.  Some have different connection requirements/abilities.BOTTOM LINE: I would recommend this device to my friends.

Question: Does this card have a good write speed?

Question: How is the 3d rendering?

This TV was very easy to set up; a one-person job to mount on a TV stand.  I use it with the Panasonic DMP-BDT220 3D Blue-ray DVD player and Panasonic SC-HTB 550 2.1 channel soundbar and like the results.  The color is stunning.  Family and friends comment about the depth of field and clarify and say that it looks like you are watching a live event.  The 3D is very nice.  The polarized glasses are light and comfortable, and again, I like the results.  I rarely use 3D or the up-conversion from 2D to 3D.  It works well enough, much short of 3D, but is interesting for format suitable to 3D.  However, I enjoy the regular 2D color so well I don't feel a need to change to quasi 3D.  So far I have stuck with the factory color settings and am satisfied.  I rarely use the Internet feature.  I find it very slow and clumsy.  But overall for the price, ease of use, and great color, I rated it a 5.

Question: How was the price of the product?

I bought this to have a few extras since I seem to never have one when I need it.  These work just as good as any other one with the bonus of being very affordable.  Don't let the big brands scare you into thinking you need to pay crazy prices for hdmi cables.  This is all a digital signal.  It either works or it doesn't work.  There isn't a range of quality in between.  That is kind of why they invented digital signals in the first place.

Question: What is the importance of that feature to you?

The functions of the 855 are great.I like being able to replace the battery when the original wears out eventually since it's much cheaper to replace than sending a unit to Garmin for battery replacement.The custom avoidance feature is a nice function not found in many other Garmin GPSs.  You can save avoidance instances to certain roads or areas you don't want to travel through.Ease of use is great similar to my 760 I had given to someone.The lane assist is nice.The junction view where it shows exit signs has very few exits in the unit, maybe they will add more in the future.Only main con I would say is an occaisional hang of the GPS and I have to hold the power button for a while and then it does a full reboot.Also the voice recognition does not respond sometimes, but it's still a great feature to have.Hopefully these will be ironed out in a future firmware upgrade.

Question: What do you think about product is better?

I just love the quality if their products...sleek and sturdy design, never an issue with cords becoming frayed like apple's tend to from over use. Strong, powerful, inexpensive...would love to see them branch out to other electronics like TVs blu rays, etc because their products are amazing.

Question: How would you rate the speed of the product?

Replaced a dead hard drive in my Sony Vaio windows 7 laptop.  Used recovery boot disks and worked perfectly.  Windows fully loads in 20-30 seconds and shuts down even faster.  Can't wait to replace another hard drive with one of these.  The performance is great and the price better yet.

Question: How is the form factor?

Question: How was the sound?

These speakers are a great buy if you are on a budget and want great sound quality.

Question: What is your impression of the product?

Cannot believe what we have been missing. We are a tech family, and have been Ipad fans from the get go, have owned all three versions. Never even considered the Kindle until I saw one with no glare to read. So we thought for the price and Amazons great return policy why not try the new HD out and see how it is for reading.OH MY WORD......(mouth open) it is awesome. Reading books on this is like night and day to our Pads. The screen is rich and clear, the abilities to adjust things is great and love the being able to download books through Amazon right to the Kindle. Okay, that in itself was just grand, however being able to watch our movies through HDMI cords to our TV and download and shop with Amazon with such ease was such a nice treat. :)Yes, we still love our Pads and they have their own place, but I like that I can now keep my Pad at home and tote the Kindle around with me with so much ease..it is light weight, small and perfect for my purse. We like it so much we ordered another 7" today, but with 32gb this time for me and hubby will use the 16gb one. We were waiting for the Mini Pad, but once we saw the specs and the screen pixelation, we came right to Amazon and ordered another Kindle Fire HD...Go figure..Goes to show you good things CAN come in small packages!! It's light, fits in my hand and I can still do the daily stuff I used to do on Pad with it. Oh and did I mention some of the Apps are wayyyy cheaper on the Kindle than Apple? Same apps too...yes I do realize they do not need retina and such for the Kindle, but we don't need that for a lot of the apps we use anyways.Get it...it works, it can go with you easier and it ROCKS!!

Question: What is the sound quality?

One may look at me strangely, friends may call it "dorky", others may mistake it for a hearing device, but now it is purely a part of me. Day 2 of purchasing this, I've already stopped feeling its weight on my neck. I find myself reaching out for the skip button or the volume button to control real life, sadly LG tone does not come equipped with those features. Maybe in the future.Anyway, this is pretty impressive. To my biggest surprise, the bass was better than any in-ear headphones I have purchased. (other than Beats Tour, but I felt like Beats was made purely for those that enjoy bass-heavy music) The sound quality is definitely not questionable.Above it all, Tone is extremely intuitive. It's extremely easy to use and the vibrating-notifications and SMS readings are just the cherry on top of the best guilty purchase ever.The only strange experience I have is when I have my phone/device connected in my pocket, and I put my hands in my pocket at the same time. The sound gets cut off erratically. I can tell that it's probably my hands blocking the device (like the grip of death for iphones several years ago) but all that is required is to transfer my phone into my purse.The preciseness of the range (33 feet) is quite creepy.

Question: How is the speaker?

While there are louder, more powerful speakers out there, these are excellent speakers for the price. The two satellite speakers go up to a fairly loud volume while keeping good sound fidelity (and no tinnyness!). The subwoofer doesn't buzz, even when turned up all the way (which I rarely do, since it's loud enough to disturb the people in the next apartment).In all, I'm *very* happy with this purchase. These speakers are much better than the internal ones that came on my TV.

Question: What is the control grip material?

It is thin enough to fully take advantage of the slimness of the iPad Air while still offering protection when the case is closed. I did have a little trouble getting the latch to release but finally figured out that squeezing the case gets it to release.The slide out feature with two flat prongs is wonderful. I like that so much better than the single slide out piece on the NT 30 that my iPad mini case has. I find the iPad is much more stable when separated from the keyboard. Another handy feature is the little ledges that hold the iPad Air in place at the back of the keyboard when the stand is in the open position.I also really like the full size keys on the keyboard and find it to be very responsive and warms up very quickly.I wish that some kind of screen protection was included but it's easy enough to obtain a screen protector film to protect from scratches.Other than the need for screen protection, I can't really find anything about this case that I don't like.

Question: Is the design nice?

Been looking for a keyboard for my ipad for a while and happened upon this. I've had good luck with New Trent's stuff so I thought I'd give it a shot. I really like the fact that it doubles as a case (hence the clamshell) when closed up. The Blutooth keyboard pairs in a snap and works great. Love the added function keys (home button, etc.) and found the size more than comfortable to type on. I've had this on my ipad for a while. I thought this would be one of those things I'd use solely for travel but the truth is this case/keyboard has stayed on my iPad since I bought it. The matte finish is nice and I love that it's not emblazoned with stupid logos.  Doesn't add a lot of weight and I really like the adjustability of the screen angle. Battery life is pretty terrific, too. One other nice thing - I like being able to 'detach' the iPad and set that up as a separate piece from the keyboard. There are some other nice touches - the rubber feet, the fact that you can change from portrait to landscape. Once you remove the iPad from the arm, the hard plastic case stays with it so conceivably you could just travel with that. It's not perfect - I realized carrying it in my bag that it is just a little heavier than I would like. And it would be nice if the hinge had a ratchet action. But overall this is a really nice set up, and I've had experience with a number of these types of keyboards. All in all, I'm really happy with it.

Answer: The matte finish is nice

Been looking for a keyboard for my ipad for a while and happened upon this. I've had good luck with New Trent's stuff so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Question: How was the customer support?

AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, Any other positive you can think of.  I have been thinking about getting a tablet for each of my daughters and have been reading reviews and checking out every device I can get my hands on.  I know I didn't want the el-cheepo tablets you can get for $99.  I've seen those and checked them out and they are tablets, but generally have older operating system, lack support, and don't support all the apps.  I didn't want a limited device.  I also didn't want to spend $350 per device either.  I have heard of people that got the Kindles and were very happy with them so I decided to take a chance and get 2 of them.  For the price of the refurb devices, with a percentage off e-coupon that I had, plus using my amazon points from my Amazon credit card, I was able to basically get 2 of these for the price of one.  I set my expectations a bit low because I didn't think of them as full tablets, but I'm happy to report I was rather wrong in that area.  I was very, very impressed with the Kindle Fire HD 7 inch tablet.  I have a full 10 inch Acer Iconia tablet that I like and my kids like but it's a bit large for them.  This is the perfect size and feels so good in the hands.  The screen is very clear, and the sound these things produce is just amazing.  I couldn't believe how amazing the sound on these is, and how loud!  My kids are getting them for Christmas and I can't wait to see their jaws hit the ground!  Amazon uses a custom interface for the Android OS, but it doesn't make it any less functional. It is a bit different getting used to compared with the standard Android interface, but it works fine.  It was able to do pretty much whatever I wanted to do with it.  Once you get used to the different interface, it's just as easy to get around in it as anything else, and if it's your first exposure to the world of tablet devices, I think it would be much easier to learn and get comfortable with.  I can't be happier with these things and actually, even though I have a 10 inch tablet, I'm very much considering getting one of these for me too.  I like it that much.Now, as for the refurbished part, don't be afraid of that word.  I get refurb stuff all the time and so far, here's what my experience is... they are great!  It seems like the refurb items have had all the bugs worked out and have had more rigorous testing than the new devices.  I've had plenty of new things stop working on me and had to get them replaced or repaired, but I've never had one single refurb device have any issue at all... ever (knock on wood!!).  These had no signs of ever having been used.  Not one single scratch or blemish, and Amazon's support is growing to be legend.  They want people to be happy with their purchases and will go the extra mile to ensure you are, so the support they offer is very good.I guess the bottom line is, if you are looking to get a tablet to start into the tablet world, or want something for the kids, then you have to consider this.  The price is excellent and it's a great tablet.  You won't be dissapointed.

Question: How is the cover?

I was pleased to see the Verso Prologue Cover coming in for review. I rely heavily on my Kindle Fire, which the product does not support, but my wife did not have a nice cover for her Kindle 3G.  She still doesn't.  This product does not fit the 3G Kindle. The initial pitch line for the product said it worked on Kindles, but the product page more clearly identifies it as only for Paperwhite, standard Kindle, and Kindle Touch. A disappointment not to be able to test it, but it looks nice.

Question: Where is battery?

Pros: Beautifully designed and built. From the perforated look rubberized area where your thumb rests to the brushed metal strips which arcs gracefully around the side of the mouse, to the low gloss plastic finish and the metal scroller wheel with rubber insert, it's a beautiful mouse, high quality mouse.It's extremely comfortable as well. Perhaps not quite as much as my old MX Revolution, but very close.Darkfield is extremely precise and works on every surface I've tried, from my shirt to my glass desk.This is the Cadillac CTS-V of mice.Battery is a removable and replaceable AA unit, a nice feature since internal battery failure caused the death of my MX Revolution.Charging is done via USB cable, so no down time.Battery life on its first full day of use is excellent, still 3 bars after hours of use.Have a middle mouse button again! Now shifting between the wheel modes is done via dedicated button.Nifty little travel casePlenty of programmablity.Cons: Cons are only a few.Forward/back/zoom buttons don't quite fall into reach as naturally as they did on the MX Revolution.Loss of shift-to-click. I'll miss this feature. Loved how the MX Revolution could be programed to switch from geared to free spin depending on how fast the wheel spun, then would switch back.Other Thoughts: My dear MX Revolution bit the dust on me a few weeks ago, due to internal battery failure, yet despite buying the original four years ago, Logitech replaced it with the new model.It's really worth saying that their customer support is superb, friendly, and helpful. They also send you return shipping labels now so you don't have to pay for shipping. Now that's progress. Turnaround was about 2 weeks total. I will continue to buy products from Logitech, they stand behind them.My only other minor complaint is the Application Switcher. I don't care for it...distorts the windows and when many are up it looks cluttered. But that's just a keystroke assignment away to set it back to Document Flip, so it's not an issue.Overall I love this mouse so far, and while I do miss my MX Revolution, this is a worthy successor. It's even better looking and very nearly as comfortable, very precise and works on surfaces the old mouse never could.Hopefully it will last!

Question: What is the quality of the screen?

The idea of having a Windows 8 convertible with 10+ hours of battery life with Office 2013 included for $400 seemed like a bad infomercial promise, but it turned out to be true for my purposes.  I was looking for a second computer that could do fairly basic Windows stuff and multimedia while also being very compact and having a long battery life.I had previously purchased an Atom-based Asus netbook that was atrociously slow and only lasted a few hours, plus the fan was annoyingly loud.Here are my findings:GOOD:- The T100 is as fast as you need a second computer to be.  MS Office runs smoothly, all videos play well and it's never slowed down terribly so far.  I haven't run any processor-intensive stuff yet like Photoshop or Crisis, but that's not why I purchased it.- The screen is rather nice.  It's an IPS WXGA screen, which pales in comparison to some 1080p phones, but for a 10.2" netbook, it works well.  Text is readable and videos look great.  The brightness isn't spectacular and the reflectivity is high, but it's very crisp and the viewing angles are excellent.- There are no fans.  It runs cool.  It runs silent.- The speakers are better than my 17" laptop.  Not great in the bass department, but they're loud.  I just wish they were facing forward instead of backward.- It's super light and compact.  I'm able to read holding just the screen and the whole package, including the keyboard, fits nicely into the Kensington tablet sling I just purchased.- The construction is solid.  Yes, the lid and screen are smudge-prone, but it's all solid state and thoughtfully arranged...for a $400 piece of hardware.BAD:- The WiFi is a bit wonky.  When I wake my computer, sometimes the WiFi won't work but when I just turn the laptop's WiFi antenna off and on, everything goes back to normal.- The charger is as slow as people are reporting.  Sometimes it charges fairly slowly, other times, not at all.  Still working that out.- The trackpad is annoying and unpredictable.  Once I turned off the tap-to-click feature, it was much more manageable except the trackpad clicks are conspicuously loud.  Remedied by a bluetooth mouse.OTHER THOUGHTS:- I appreciate the microSD slot.  I put in a 64GB chip and it works great.- Some have complained about the single-antenna WiFi, but it hasn't bothered me at all.  Streaming music and video is not a problem.- The tablet doesn't fit in immediately so you kind of have to wiggle it in so it will fit flush with the keyboard.- Windows 8.1 presents a learning curve.  It's also not the greatest OS for a tablet computer.  But once you get used to the quirks, it's not a dealbreaker.- The keyboard is small but totally usable.  With its weird layout and lack of backlighting, it's not great in the dark, but otherwise, it's fine.IN SUM:For me, this computer does everything I expect it to do.  It's tiny, relatively fast and the battery life is tops.  That said, there are many idiosyncrasies that you must contend with.  WiFi, keyboard and charging require some fiddling, but maybe those things will be ironed out in future updates.All in all, it's a great piece of hardware.  If you're looking for something that has the portability of a tablet but the functionality of a laptop for $400, it's an amazing deal that can't be beat.  For the price, there are better laptops and there are better tablets, but as a low-priced combo, it's a grand slam.
