Good Hardware - Software should be improved

It's a very good tablet, but the software should be improve, apps like chrome/dropbox/gmail should be installed by default. The silk browser is a very bad one.

Microscope is great, camera is great, software could be improved.  It's not as fast as I had hoped.  Find the one that has a USB 3.0 camera, should be faster.

Good. Needs a better interface though. They limited capabilities on such a powerfull device. Sattelite, private and public lands, and wifi connectivity should come standard.

Good but crashes sometimes, even when using it for basic features

Works good but needs to be integrated into the system as a scene.

user interface could use some improvements. for example to ring all phones for intercom, it takes like 4 menu clicks. same with PTT, have to use the menus to select an individual phone (which can't be renamed), or menus to select all phones. the camera image is washed out and hard to see. the speaker on the doorbell is weak and often the door bell pusher can't hear us.  The doorbell image can't be monitored if on battery mode unless someone pushes the button. plus points because the doorbell camera module can be interfaced into the existing push button door bell to ring the legacy door bell. This is useful when the door bell camera module has run out of batteries as you can still ring the legacy door bell. works adequately as a phone with reasonable range covering a 2300 sqft condo. good value for the low price. ended up adding a IP camera at the front door +  always on tablet running imperi home to monitor the front door.

Hardware seems to perform well enough. Although I've found that I frequently have to reboot it to let me access my work's content (through a VPN) .  Rebooting the VPN doesn't work... but rebooting the router allows corporate data to flow again.

The UI portal is primitive in functionality and design / style compared to other vendors (eg ASUS, DLink).

But I'm willing to put up with the shortcomings given the price.  Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be some improvements through firmware upgrades (of which there are none, as of Jan 2017).

This is a sound product, with quality hardware. The software leaves something to be desired, however. There are a couple programs included. One is useless.  The other works, but is buggy. Customer service is responsive -- answers the phone! They attempted to resolve my issue via remote control over my computer but the glitch remains. They sent me an email, stating that they're working on it, but it would take a software upgrade, I suspect, and I'm not holding my breath. Meanwhile, I am able to review motion-activated video recorded each day. The resolution is not adequate to read license plate numbers, but I did not expect that.
A nice feature is the ability to monitor and review your cameras remotely via the internet. That system too, is a little buggy, but with patience, you can get the job done.
There is no sound recording from these cameras, in case that is important to you. You can add audio input via your own mic, however.

Good performer, so far...  Booting from an external device is a real design issue.  Wish it had more RAM and had full functionality with Win8 64-bit.  Get an external Gig Ethernet to USB adapter to use with it.  The WiFi radio only seems to connect at "g" speed.  Make sure and update all firmware and drivers from ASUS, as quickly as you can.

Pros: Compact. Good looking, cheap for the size (250GB), sturdy for the price, very quiet, reasonably fast, blue power indicator looks cool, especially on the piano black body. Short USB cable. Having only one USB jack (more on this point below).

Cons: Why the case needs to be tilted. I prefer rectangular shape rather than rhombus shape. Would be nice if it comes with a carrying case. The backup software is horrible. It's free, but cannot automatcally backup the folder that are newly created after the initial set-up. Basically, the backup becomes a manual labor for me. I don't know why but the backup software (WD Sync) frequently crashed, making me nervous to rely on the software for backing up valuable data (especially because the data will be encrypted by the software). Some bloatwares: ADobe Reader and some google bloatwares.

Others: Many people with low-powered laptop might complain about the lack of the second USB to provide enough power to spin the device, but I knew that my laptops are fine, so I actually like that there is only one USB cable. You should check before buying it, if you use it with a loptop.

Botoom line: Great hardware for the price, even with the poor software included (you can and maybe should erase them).

Complicated device; the free software is also poor. Be prepared to spend for better software

The hardware is great and does its job, but the software that comes with this product is too limited.

For the best results i will recommend using these two free programs to do the calibration:

Programs:
Argyll V1.6.3
dispcalGUI V1.7.5.7

After using those, youll have the best settings in HW and SW you can get.

It's a good laptop ideal for basic usage but its processor is outdated.

Performs well but has poorly designed UI (user interface).

Overall, I'm very happy with its performance, but I was expecting it to be more user friendly in terms of changing its bitsetting or book type.  It can only be done with certain software and is not always reliable.

The hardware is great, the storage is wonderful and the usefulness is everything I wanted for taking notes and syncing them to my phone. It is solid and lightweight and is definitly durable enough, as I don't necessarily treat it with the greatest care, but it is plugging away no problem.

Once on the phone, however, there are some issues that need updating:
1) I should be able to rotate the images inside the sync app
2) I should be able to batch export to dropbox or email rather than only moving one file at a time

Once the Android software is updated to allow this, I will definitely take this to five stars.

The third parent in my house. The software on the app is very, very buggy but it works well enough. Very happy with the hardware though.
