Back in November, I needed touchscreen for my GMC monitor consolidation project in order to easily toggle between apps. I also needed true multi-processing so that an app wouldn't be suspended when it wasn't in the active window. I was going to use one of my Lenovos, but I happened across this hybrid tablet with decent specs for $200. I truly expected it to be crapware like most of the low-end tablets. I mean, I had *just* paid $130 for W10 to upgrade an old Toughbook. How could anybody be selling a decent hybrid with W10 for only $70 more?

So far, this thing performs surprisingly well. Not snappy, but about your average 2yr-old-laptop speed. It will run Delorme/gps dongle and a wireless Gopro knockoff as a rearview cam. It will also run Sketchup (I'm still using v8). It serves as my laptop when it's not on the dash. It also runs a split-screen multi-usbcam (up to 4 cams) security program which I hope to use for sideview. When home, it has been an Ipad killer --that'll now be sacrificed to the grandkids when visiting.
It performed well enough that my wife wanted one for managing her business while traveling. She also likes to watch TV occasionally, so I bought this tuner and loaded it on hers. I paired it with the now-popular King Jack antenna. Works, with a few minor annoyances with the remote (probably config settings, haven't dug that deeply). Seems to work fine with a mouse.
