    Strengths: This is a pretty solid laptop all the way around.

    Weaknesses:The only real weakness i have found would be Gigabyte support has been very slow and useless.

    Overall Evaluation: I pulled this thing out of the box, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a pretty sturdy construction. Im not afraid that it is going to fall apart just sitting it down on the table like many devices that i have have been unfortunate to encounter. Gigabyte did a fine job on its construction and making it astheticaly appealing.Now for the bad, first problem i encountered was the hard drive was bad in it. Called up the retailer that i bought it from and was informed that it would have to be shipped back and exchanged. This seemed a bit silly to me being as it was just a hard drive and shipping the laptop back to them and then another one to me would have cost $60 which incidently was the price of a brand new drive. So i called up the gigabyte service center to see if they would be willing to just send me a new drive and well the lady there was less then helpful and wanted me to just ship it to them and get it back in a couple weeks. Not to be deterred, i popped the hard drive out of it and was surprised to find it was a western digital hard drive. This was good news for me, i got ahold of western digital and they did an advance replacement with next day shipping on it. Incidently Gigabyte actually took 2 weeks to answer the trouble ticket that i submitted at thier website. Second problem was that there was no recovery CD, it had a driver cd and that is it. As luck would have it though i had a copy of windows 7 pro and just installed it on the new hard drive, used the CD key off the bottom of the laptop and i was good to go after a small fight with some drivers. Apparently if i had ever gotten it up and running with the original OS install it would have given me the option to burn a recovery DVD i was just not fortunate enough to get this option. Good news out of it was, i would have formatted the drive anyways to get rid of the bloatware that often comes on devices.Now for the good, where to start is the big question here, right out of the box it came with a docking station, two power supplies that are interchangeable between the docking station and the laptop. Notice here that i keep calling this product a laptop and not a tablet, this is because calling it a tablet implies a bit of diminished capacity and this thing is far from diminished. Also came with a two year warranty not the 1 year that was advertised. Touchscreen works pretty well on it, i was surprised with it being a microsoft operating system. I did buy a capacitive touch stylus for it so i could ink on it and it seems to work extremely well. Only real problem is the device driver that comes with the laptop tends to put the touch screen to sleep to save power which can be a bit annoying, so i simply unistalled it and let the windows default touchscreen driver take its place and it works fine now.Battery life is a little over 4 hours while watching movies on a plane, over all i was pretty surprised being as my other laptop would die in about half that time.It has an I5 processor and 4 gigs of memory which makes it pretty competitive with many of the laptops you would buy at any retailer and runs every application that i have tried on it without any hesitation or glitch. The big concern for me was the video card in it, i had heard bad things about the Nvidia 410M and had read that the intel HD card was better. I took a bit of a longshot on it as i have never had a problem with an Nvidia product and on the comparative benchmarks that i had seen the Nvidia actually rated better then the Intel. I was very surpised when i found that this was a sort of intel/nvidia hybrid gpu and actually appears as a dual video card system in the device manager. Well i play a game called EVE online that i am sure many of you have heard about. So my test of it was to log in turn the graphics on high and then try multiple clients. I was able to load 3 copies of the game and move about without any choppiness. It wasnt till i tried a fourth copy that it started to have a noticeable effect on the frames per a second.All in all this laptop is a pretty innovative design, converting between a tablet, laptop topping it off with using it as a desktop in the docking station and being able to use the screen as a dual monitor setup makes this device the most useful piece of equipment i own. Toss in the multitude of wireless capability on it bluetooth, wifi and optional 3g you just cannot get any better then this device for mobile computing.
