Good keyboard, Decent overall build with a small exception, Portable, Excellent IPS panel for the asking price

Cons:

The cooling fan doesn't stop spinning, Short battery life for a tablet, Limited I/O, The screen uses PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (our Health-Guard profile takes care of that)
Subpar battery life, Protruding edge around the keyboard area, The screen uses PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (the Health-Guard profile fixes that)
