We love ours! We got an HP referb on Woot for about $200. Free life

time T-Mobile (slows down after 250 mb but still provides data when no

wi-fi). Beautiful picture. Super fast because of SSD. I use Remote

Desktop to work on my development machine and also access my server when

out visiting customers. I'm taking an online course and the picture and

sound is great. Light & nice keyboard. 8+ hours of battery life.

I can't think of a single drawback. Of course as Fred would say, "YMMV"
