it's really beyond me why you didn't get an ipad, but a windows 7 tablet. Windows 7 is a desktop resource hoggin os that wasn't designed to be used for touch, and won't run on arm cpus.

To need 1gb of ram to boot on a tablet is ridiculous. This thing will be hot, laggy, heavy and have the worst possible battery life. It will be a thick keyboardless laptop, a sheer anachronism.

Good luck with it, and my intention isn't to spoil your purchase, but like I said it's beyond me why anyone would go with this option. Even the inferior android could be hosted on some half decent ipad knock offs, but windows 7?
