Well, with all due respect, "patching" is something all devices have to deal with. Didn't iOS just get another update? Updates for Windows are pretty non intrusive nowadays. Also, viruses really are a thing of the past for any well educated user or a basic user who just turns on the included Windows Defender.



weight, a 4.5 hour battery life, suboptimal portrait orientation, and confusing modern/classic UI experience.
Yes - with those points I'll agree, but they are par for the course if you want a "real" computer on the go. I hope they come out with some kind of keyboard/battery system very soon.

And FWIW; my three units arrived today (amazingly), still find the whole process very poorly managed.
