Spent the weekend trying to use the tablet. Sad to say I'll be retuing it.
I've reported a bunch of bugs which basically make it unusable for day-to-day work.
This is really only usable as a web-browser. And, to be honest, you might as well buy a cheaper Android tablet if that's what you want to do.
It's light and the battery lasts a good 6 hours of use. The UI looks pretty good - until you launch apps like FF or LibreOffice, then it's back to Windows 95 style themes.
In brief:
- LibreOffice doesn't work without a keyboard & mouse. Worse - there are no language packs installed so you can't do something as basic as spell checking.
- Browser struggles to keep more than a couple of tabs open at a time.
- FireFox isn't touch compatible. If you alt-tab out of it and then back again, the keyboard doesn't work any more.
- FireFox doesn't respect your keyboard's language settings. Meaning I have to remember to swap the @ and " keys.
- The task switcher is bizarre - especially if used with a keyboard. I've no idea how it works. It also leaves screenshots rotated - meaning you have to twist your head to see what they are.
- No Python, Ruby, or PHP. I wasn't expecting to do full stack development - but I *did* expect to run basic Ubuntu programs.
I could wait for an upgrade to see if they can fix all of this, but I didn't spend €300 to beta test a half-finished product. I wanted Ubuntu in a tablet form - this isn't it.
