Had a play with one of these in the local store yesterday - it just came in that day. The very first obvious problem is the very poor screen - far to soft and grainy for reading confortably for any length of time. Its also frustratingly unresponsive. I guess the Atom is just not powerfull enough to run a full Windows 8 installation. This one was 64gb which for a full Windows install these days would be the minimum I would go for. A 32gb tablet would fill up in no time - and that's just with Windows OS updates etc.

It seems tempting at first, but the compromises that were made to acheive the price point appear to make it unsuitable for any serious use and it certainly won't replace that ageing laptop...
