Tablet is nice, but needs lots of recharges

I purchased the Toshiba laptop/tablet combination. I was not informed that the software on the tablet was not duplicated on the laptop. The tablet has had issues with heat and with shutdown. The instructions included with the unit were quick start only, and I'm still investigating how to do certain things. Norton AV was loaded on both but with only a trial version on much of the extras, I will be removing it and going with AVG soon. Also, the laptop is very picky about what USB charger to use with it and don't expect it to like car charging much.

It's my first tablet and I am trying to learn how to use it. So far, I think it is a good tablet but I have nothing to compare it to..

It is very convenient to use when traveling and at home for reading. I mainly use it for school. It is perfect. I am still learning about it but I have no complaints so far.

I bought this because it had Win Pro 8 on it as well as office suite included in a small lightweight package. Screen is smaller then I wish but there are always trade offs and I can blue tooth a ketboard mouse and hard wire to larger screen or can use chromecast. Over all this is very flexable if on the go.

I really like this Windows tablet. It has the full version of Windows 8.1 so I can vpn into my work and do small projects. Also it can run flash so I can play Facebook games.
The only thing I am disappointed in is the size. It easily can fit in most purses or bags but sometimes I wish the screen was a little big larger. I was able to connect a mouse to it which helps with the small size.
Overall it is a great little tablet.

This handy little device was a perfect fit with my mobile office. I was able to quickly use my google services and load up my sales site which is in Silverlight. Durable. Sturdy. Not the newest on the market but does what I want and need.

The day after I got this tablet (in laptop bundle) the tablet froze. There is no way to reset it when that happens and since no one helped when I called, I had to let it completely die to get it to work. Now it freezes or doesn't respond to touch all the time. I know to just let it die. But it's a hassle. So it's a pro and a con that the battery life is short.

Got it to supplement an iPad. My first experience with Win 8 and it takes a lot more effort to use.

Its a handy thing to have around. Both my daughter and I use it for various purposes. We were both new to Windows 8, and its been an adjustment, but we're getting the hang of it and its nice having the same basic operation on the tablet and the laptop.

When I'm in an area to type the keyboard will not come up so I cannot type in the text area. Very annoying.

My Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 refuses to update and is a little big, so decided to try Windows, this Toshiba fit the bill. Works just like my laptop, has great battery and only difference is it needs anti-virus to keep the bad guys out. Smaller, right size and works well.

Great tablet with the bundle

I got this as part of the bundle. I practically got the tablet for free so its really hard to be critical. Its not an I-pad but it does run full windows and full office. The fact that it was not Windows RT was a plus since you can use google chrome. This is an inexpensive way to have a way to access the internet, check email, and play games.
