"This is really a great little PC/tablet. Its great that I can run full desktop apps like Quicken and Office but still have the quick tablet interface for simple things like e-mail, browsing, blogs and casual gaming.
I can't emphasize how important it is to run the SW Update program when you first start up. It will update just about every driver and the BIOS. Be sure to install the optional updates as well. I suspect that many of the people reporting reliability issues aren't running with updated software."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Amazing Tool

"What an amazing device! Still not accustomed to Windows 8 and its table functions, but they are generally intuitive and easy. The tablet is quick, sharp, and highly functional. I am using a Bluetooth mouse for some functions as it's easier than reaching to the screen. I have been surprisingly pleased with the on-screen keyboard and am delighted with the S-pen.

My PC-Tab crashed after a recent Windows update and was stuck in a re-boot loop which forced a full-reset (to factory defaults (ouch). Since you can't boot from an external device and I couldn't access any restore/reset info on the device, it required a factory reset (double ouch). But, despite the best effort of the folks in Bellevue, I still love this machine."

Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, value!, windows 8

Cons: windows 8

"This is a great product at a great value. I was a lite scared at first since it has an atom processor but after using it for a while I've found it not slow at all and can handle internet browsing, document writing, watching movies and many other tasks without any lag. The s pen is one of its greatest features and let's you write in many different applications. The only part I do not like very much is the hinge on the keyboard it seems to work okay but could be better. Overall this is a great product for the price I highly recommend."

No S pen, no S apps, storage is eMMC not SSD

PostedApril 27, 2013

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedApril 27, 2013

"If you need S pen, then you'll feel cheated as the actual product doesn't include S pen and S apps. The storage is also not SSD as in the specs. It's so surprising that for huge company like Samsung, several specs don't match the actual product."

Pros: Bright display

Cons: Did not meet expectations, actual product not as specs

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
