Only draw back is battery, came from an ativ smart pc pro 700t which got alot better battery life. I'm sure battery life will improve with time... i.e patches, drivers, bio update etc... the thing just came out so its expected. Also can't use newest Wacom driver without pen getting stuck in the corner, again I'm sure this will be fixed with time. Still can't carry it around like an iPad or surface RT without the charger being close by... Otherwise its a great machine.
