WIRED Nice high-res matte screen. Excellent pen with good pressure sensitivity. Good handwriting conversion tools. Works well as an ebook reader. Great for watching video. TIRED Keyboard case adds unnecessary bulk. Lacks hardware volume buttons. User interface feels like a work in progress. Writing onscreen isn't as nice as on E Ink devices. Tablets are secondary devices for most of us, but there's one place where they outshine laptops: digital note-taking.
