Pros

  • Tablet with a physical keyboard -- nice!
  • Touchscreen interface is pretty good

Cons

  • Cover is a fingerprint magnet
  • No virtual keyboard for tablet mode

At A Glance

This half-netbook, half-tablet would have probably been better if it had just stuck with one genre or the other.
