My company purchased this device to fill a small need in the mobile engineer/CAD user/Process Control user space. We suffered from the inability to be extremely mobile while traversing the manufacturing space of our facility, and things like standard tablets (iPad, etc.) couldn't handle software like AutoCAD stuff we needed, special process control & monitoring software, etc. And as well in a large corporate environment, standard is the name of the game and this is it.We've been successful using our corporate image on this with limited adaptation and have been able to use it with our secured wireless.The unit itself is a bit on the heavy side, battery life is lacking compared to what you'd think of for today's standard non-Windows tablets, and it gets a little warm when you use it. That all being said, the hardware seems high quality and it did fit the need we had for a Windows based slate device. I'd have no apprehension on recommending this with one caveat-- consider the touch screen really requiring the stylus most of the time and think of it more like a convertible table of the mid 2000's like a Lenovo X41 tablet, or something else that really does require the stylus for text input, selection box use, etc.

I bought this to replace my HP touchpad, there was no comparison. The touchpad, is faster by a mile and starts up in seconds. I have since bought another touchpad. I think the slate might be good for business, but not for web brousing
