Pros: Super light. lighter than most Ultrabooks. Windows 8. Able to handle everything we throw at it. Installed Office Pro 2013 and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and it's just smooth and awesome. The apps in Win8 Microsoft Store is like having all of my iPad/Google Play apps within a thru working computer. It is the lightest laptop we ever owned. If my wife didn't seized this from me I would probably have used this more often than our iPad 2 (wife's) or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (mine) since it runs all the software and mostly tablet apps we use from both our regular computers and Tablet PCs. I can finally see now what Microsoft is trying with Win8.

Cons: For the price and the size? Why complaint? But if there is one then I must say it's not free :) and didn't have touch screen.

Overall Review: I do not know why others are getting negative about the battery life but for me 4 hours is the best lasting laptop I had. The 4 hours is mostly watching Netflix and combination with Google earth and surfing the net.

Pros: Hardware specs. Please see my first review.

Cons: Software. Please see my first review.

Overall Review: Just want to clarify something from my first review; If you are into Android then there is no other Android tablet out there that is better that we have tried. But before you spend more than five hundreds on a tablet try hard to compare it with an iPad with the iOS. Ask a friend who owns one an Android and an iPad and if possible borrow it for two days or a week for comparison. Alternative is research online for professionals review who really experience working with it for at least a week. Believe me hardware spec comparisons and/or one day use review is a lot different from actually really using it for a week at least.

Pros: Awesome boot time and most of my applications opens in a snap.

Cons: The 1 missing star is for the refurbish. I don't have that peace of mind that it will last long.

Overall Review: After upgrading my i5-480M budget laptop from 4GB to 8GB, the bottleneck becomes my 5400 RPM hard drive speed. This completes my upgrade and now my laptop feels like my Xeon workstation at work. All my applications runs snappy including Visual Studio 2013, Paint.net, Publisher, Word, RDP, Note, IE 11, Chrome, Opera browser, MS-SQL management studio, and while all of these running at the same time I’m watching Netflix on my 2nd monitor! Very happy with my machine now without buying for a new high end laptop.

Pros: Looks brand new and no blemish what so ever - it's just perfect. I don't feel any difference with the one I’m using at the office which was brand new when I got it last year. I don't really care about the M510 mouse since I cannot use any other mouse beside my MS natural wireless mouse 6000 without hurting the back of my hands. If you need to know the mouse looks perfect and feels and functions like brand new also. Unlike some of the reviewer here I am grateful I did receive it with a receiver. It has a large tag attached to it making sure I do find it. All the keys and specials keys work flawlessly.

Cons: Well it didn't come with USB extension like with the brand new.

Overall Review: Happy to say that I got a good unit with a receiver.

Pros: iPad 2 hardware + iOS 5 is just amazingly smooth to operate. I can tell the performance jump compared to my iPad 1st gen. There are small improvements that later we discover we learn love it. Like the screen can be dimmer than the original iPad during night reads. No more web page reload when tabbing thru Safari due to the increased memory.

Cons: For 500 bucks I could have bought a nice powerful laptop that could do a lot more job. My point is at this price range it's a luxury to have and not a necessity.

Overall Review: This is my gift for my wife. We originally bought the Sony Tablet S which is amazingly great in terms of hardware and the design profile is the best among all the tablets (including this iPad 2) we tried during our visits to our local electronic stores. If you are into Android then I highly suggest that one. Sadly after three weeks we decided that Android is not for us. We find that even thou the Sony has a killer hardware we were longing for the iOS smooth operation and its app store can’t be beat. In the end the software part got us into choosing this one and returning the Sony+Android tablet.
