5.0 out of 5 stars I do love my little machine

I love my little machine. It is eveything it was promised to be and more. The only Con and it is a very little one is that the screen i a little wobbly since it can be turned around to show someone in front of you and you can lay it down like a tablet but it is such a little thing I cannot say it is much of a bother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only downside is it's weight.

I just got this laptop a few days ago and I love it. It came exactly as shown/described, with extras (Fingerprint reader anyone?). It also came a day earlier than said earliest arrival date could be, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm in California, or if that's just the way it ended up being.

The swivel hinge seems very sturdy, although while in Laptop mode the screen may shake a bit, depending on the surface you put it on (Its more shaky when you have it in your lap versus having it on a desktop). The swivel turns only one way (counter clockwise from Laptop to Tablet, the opposite way Tablet to Laptop), and at the base of the hinge (whether in Tablet or Laptop mode) there is a small window showing which direction to turn it. Once you turn the computer into Tablet mode, you may hear a click, which are the magnetic (for lack of a better word,) connectors that secure the screen from moving around (there is a button on the lid of the laptop to disconnect them.

I am a 10th grader, so I use my laptop to take notes and do homework on. Therefore, I tend to prefer Tablet mode. This is the main reason I picked a tablet. The only problem I can find with this laptop, is it's weight. It weighs about 6.5lbs, making it a "luggable" computers, but not necessarily "portable". If the user (like myself) doesn't mind the weight, it is over all a great computer.

There are many features on a tablet that you cannot access on any other computer. Some include; Windows Journal, Ink Art, Ink Desktop, Ink Flashcards, and much much more. This computer does not come with Microsoft Office, so I downloaded Open Office (free). If you as a buyer wish to purchase Microsoft Office, go right ahead, but Open Office is free and can do the same.

Overall, I believe this is a great product! I would reccommend it to any and all of my friends looking into a new computer. I have also gotten many positive and no negative comments on the computer form peers at school.

UPDATE (3/14/12)
We now have two of these computers in our house. My sister, who is in 9th grade got one recently and she is loving it. This computer is great with games, although video card may need to be upgraded sometime to support high quality, newer games. I can play World of Warcraft, and my sister plays Nancy Drew. We can also occasionally play the Sims 3, but with that, occasionally it overloads the video card, so I just have to be sure to save often. Still a great buy, although with my sister's it didn't come with the fingerprint reader or screen cleaner (But, it did come with everything that was shown.) Both of the laptops we bought came with the laptop case, but I suppose the company ran out and is offering something else. We plan to get one (possibly two) more of these laptops, one for my other sister, and possibly one for my mom. Still, a great buy!!

I just bought this device a few days ago...The tablet mode is so not working!...and the seller did not input this in the product description!...I am so disappointed with this issue!...I tried flickering and pointing the stylus pen it came with it and nothing is working!...How can amazon sell something that is not fully functional?!...I thought that amazon had to test and verify items before selling them online?...wow, what a joke this turned out to be!!!!...I don't know if its the stylus pen or the screen that is not functioning properly. But all i know is that this just came in the mail and i was so excited to see it, but once i tried using it the tablet mode is so broken and not working at all!!!!!...at all!!! Shame on them sellers trying to rip-off customers for their money!...

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent machine for Linux 64 bit and good for Windows 7 64bit for $79.00
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014
This is not a finger touch screen. It is old Tech using an electrostatic pen. Some models do not have a web cam.
Runs Linux great. I have installed dual boot manager (linux Grub) and run 4 64bit operating systems. Win 7 64, Linux Mint rel-13 and rel-16 and Ubuntu 10.10. Not the fastest Windows machine, but Linux is super fast. You can use the pen as you would use the Mouse for clicking, or with Drawing or a Cad app. Pen simply emulates the Mouse.

I bought 2 used 64 bit machines for $79.00 each.

Had to change my review all over again from last year. Please, save your money. I thought it was terrific until after a few weeks of having it. After a few weeks of having it, a random blue screen appeared and then the laptop just shut off and turned back on again after that. This random blue screen kept appearing for the next few months until it finally messed up for good and I was never able to use it again. Don't get this laptop. I wish I could have returned it the first time that blue screen showed up.
