Window Surfaces, Good or Bad?

First of all what are the Window Surfaces.
                                   


At First impressions the tablet is quite think, which could be annoying in the tablet aspect, although it is relatively thin if you are using it for the computer aspect, it took what seemed like forever (5 -10 minutes) just to turn on and if you need them in lessons it not a very nice time wait.

The Good Points
  • Looks nice
  • Decent battery life (8-10 hours)
  • Already comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
  • Has a USB plug in.

although personally I have found myself that the bad out weighs the good on this tablet.

  • It seem to take forever to launch for me. I was left there waiting for the tablet to load up.
  • Apps take 10-15 seconds to load up.
  • It is very hard to learn how to control it, so it becomes very hard and frustrating.
  • Has some charging issues.
  • The key Board is not very sensitive, those that are used to hearing the typing on their keyboard will find it frustrating when they have to go without.
  • The keyboard is uncomfortable.
  • frequent Wi-Fi reliability issues, requiring restarts and/or enabling and disabling Wi-Fi until you get the Surface to reconnect successfully.
I personally have found that the window surfaces are not the best 44/100
