    Hi, I was looking at this product for 370 euro, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on it?

    My main questions would be:

    1. How responsive is it?

    2. Does it lag?

    3. How much battery do you get out of it?

    4. Is it suitable for a student at college?

    5. Is it easy to attach and detach the tablet from the dock?

    6. What are your general thoughts on it overall as a laptop and tablet, is it worth the money?

    My needs for this product would be to read books online on it, a good amount of storage space, good battery life as I will be in lecturers and need to take notes on it, do a lot of assignments on it (thus reliability is very important for me). I'm trying to move up in the world with regard to tablets, my current one is a Go Tab which was around 100 euro and it is not reliable enough for serious college work and lacks the capacity to open many of the files I need to use.

    Thank you.

    Its a grand machine but a good performer its not.
    I wouldnt recommend it as a workhorse.
    For similiar money youd get a 4 gig'd I3 with a proper sized screen and useable keyboard.

    It will be perfectly fine in terms of speed for the tasks you describe. It will also have the benefit of having a very long battery life, and by light and portable, all the while being able to run anything a computer can run. So office/old applications etc will be perfectly fine. For me, this would make a good college machine.

    However, typing up assignments could be annoying with the small keyboard and screen. So there is a bit of compromise. But if it was me, I would chose something like this for a college machine.

    You should also note, that this machine has barely any storage. It is miniscule in comparison to any laptop. You would need to buy a micro SD card to supplement your storage. (64GB costs roughly 25 quid).
