This is not a competition for your usual android tablets. There is simply no comparison because it is PC in a tablet form factor. If you think of a tablet just as an enlarged version of a smartphone, you will find it very costly.
However, if you love your apple devices, then you will love this and appreciate the difference in quality and performance. It runs the full windows 10 OS so anything and everything you can do on your PC, you can do it here. Some people have commented about battery and heating issues, but I believe that was in some devices and firmware updates have been out already to address those. I have seen this device run all day and it gets only moderately warm. My dell latitude gets that much warm in about half an hour. even Intel i5 is more than enough processing power for all that one could think of baring someone having a need to do animation programming or run very heavy games on it. for those, you have to go for i7 version.
Now the fun part. Its form factor. We are talking about a serious laptop, but it is just 8 mm in thickness and you can literally hide it inside a photographers jacket. It is incredibly light, yet very sturdy and strong. I do hope that type cover was included in this price because it is a must have. It is a perfect device for those planning to buy an iPad or Macbook. It is a must for those who want both an iPad and a Macbook.
