let's talk about the bad first. Crappy speakers. Even with headphones, the volume is very poor. They said a screen protector came pre-installed but I can't see where it is. When I get permanent scratches on the screen, I'm very disappointed, to say the least. The battery life seems to be very good. I like it. Since I mainly wanted the touchscreen to draw and draw in different applications, I'm glad it works well for that. There seems to be a slight lag with the drawing apps, but I haven't used them enough at the moment to be disappointed. Maybe I just didn't do it right. That is possible? Overall I'm satisfied so far.
