Great full windows tablet
Phone owned for less than a month
Had this about three weeks and love it, having exactly the same experience as my desktop makes this the tablet I pick up over my iPad mini retina which is going on sale as I don't use it anymore.
The build quality is decent as is the screen, the real star however is the new atom processor in this which runs windows 8.1 without a hiccup. Seven tabs open in chrome one running a youtube video with excel open with a spreadsheet no sweat, no reloads when switching between tabs too.

What I like
- Full windows means no compromises on web or media and gives the ability to run desktop apps
- Hdmi out gives it a edge over other win 8 inch tablets
- Micro sd slot can help with space issues
- Can use OTG cable to plug in any external device
- Comes with office 2013 home and student
What I don't like
- desktop apps can be fiddly on small screen
- metro store still behind other platforms
- 32gb model doesn't leave you much free space, about 9gb after office
