much more versatile than any tablet with similar price
It is much more versatile than any tablet with similar prices because of its windows operating system and office mobile. I can edit all my word/excel documents stored in the clouds. Upgrading to windows 10 will make it run faster. I kinda consider this as a tablet with windows 10 plus a free keyboard. I suggest buying a SD card (which is dirty cheap) as the main storage so the internal memory can be freed up. This will keep the system run as fast as it can.

Fits my needs perfectly.
Big caveat upfront, if you're expecting a power house laptop for under $150 you need to adjust your expectations. I wanted a small lightweight netbook that ran full windows and this thing fits the bill perfectly. What I was looking for was something I could install some very light weight applications that were only available for Windows and be able to do some light web surfing, text editing etc. While this seems to be a full fledged windows you need to be careful about what you install in terms of the horse power requirements. For example One Drive works great on this, but Dropbox seemed a little too power hungry for it so I uninstalled it. I inserted a 128GB microSD card and store all the my documents and data on there, redirected one drive and my documents to the SD card. All seems to work flawlessly. Battery life seem outstanding.

A Solid Utility Laptop!
I purchased this essentially, as a replacement for my tablet (Insignia Flex 8), as well as a sort of travel laptop. For this, it has worked quite well.It is light and portable, fitting snugly inside of the case I purchased for it, while also feeling sturdy. It doesn't feel like it would break in my hands, or if I were to drop it accidentally.It comes with a detachable keyboard, which, when attached, can close just like a Laptop. The keyboard is sturdy, and feels fine for my hands; I could understand it feeling small for other people, however. When detached, the screen feels just like your standard Tablet.It came loaded with Windows 10, and it runs fairly quickly, considering the specs. The main purposes I bought it for (Word Processing, Reddit, Video Watching, Skype) are all easily run on it, with little to no noticable lag. The only time it seems to lag behind at all is if I have too many programs open at once; given the 2 GB of RAM, this is entirely understandable.Updating to the Anniversary Edition of Windows 10 was a bit of a pain, given the lack of space on the hard drive, but with a little bit of ingenuity (Flash Drive storage), it was successful.The only game I've tested on it was Minecraft (Windows 10 Edition), which runs beautifully well at ~40-50 FPS. I did test the original Minecraft, but I would not recommend it. It simply is not playable.All-in-all, as long as you're not looking for a gaming computer, and just a general utility tablet/laptop, this one is definitely a solid choice, given the price. Are there better ones out there? I'm sure of it... but I don't regret my purchase.

Good price for a PC
Very nice tablet/mini laptop for someone that does not need to do much. This device only comes with 32gb of storage, so if you load too many programs on it you will eat up the storage space. It will also run slow as it will then be limiting the amount of virtual memory. It is advertised that you can insert a 32gb memory SD micro memory card and that will increase the amount of storage.Update: Purchase May of 2016. Keyboard became unusable 8 months into use. Disconnected the keyboard and used as a tablet. The keyboard was difficult to use anyway because the keys kept jumping back several characters. In June of 2017 tablet became difficult to turn on and would not hold a charge when powered off. Have to keep hitting power button many times before it will come on. Also the speaker port is not working with head phones. I have not attempted to contact the company as the product is over a year old and most likely would cost too much to have fixed. It was a good little tablet if you do not expect it to last more than a year. I would like to be able to find an exploded view to take it apart to see if I can replace the power switch, battery, and the speaker jack.

For the price you can not do any better
I have bought two of these one purple and the other one is blue. Very easy to set up and use. When I was reading the description it seemed like the SD card could only hold a 32g but that is not the case it can hold up to 64g. Also with this laptop/tablet you have to use the Microsoft store for you app needs. I have not found something I wanted that I could not get. I have watched several different movies on it without any problems. So at this point I am happy with my purchase. If you are looking for a case to protect it make sure you get the right one, get the one that has the camera hole along the vertical side.

Great tablet
I got this tablet for my mom after her laptop broke. She isn't very tech savvy and needed something pretty basic. This tablet is perfect for her. She doesn't use it as a tablet very often as she is used to a laptop and prefers the keyboard. The touch screen seemed to work fine the couple of times I used it. She uses the browser, Word app and occasionally screens Netflix and everything works great. It's on the small side and I don't know if I could use it full time, but it's great for kids or someone who only needs the basics. I'm considering getting one for my brother for Christmas because his laptop just broke down as well. Definitely worth the price.

Better than expected
This tablet is by no means breathtaking but it is actually a very solid product for it's price and size. It has a satisfying heft to it that gives the impression it's not a cheap plastic turd, I've dropped it numerous times and spilled things on it yet it it remains unphased.For it's price the build quality and hardware are decent which surprised me. By virtue of this little thing being a Windows tablet running a full version of Win10 it is utterly superior than any Android tablet or iPad. It can, within the limits of it's hardware, do anything a full size laptop or desktop can do. I very much recommend this tablet for someone seeking either a decent versatile tablet or netbook on a budget.
