I assume this needs the kickstand, no hinge?

The fact that you can use this as a monitor is so nice. It has the strongest case for having an oculink port...missed opportunity to have the ultimate 3-in-1. If these specs were in one of their mini pcs at this price, it would be FP.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank overzeetop

This had a lot of promise, but the inaccessible SSD, (very) mediocre battery life, and one-gen-back (2.0 vs 2.6) MPP stylus really made it an also-ran a the launch price of $1200 (plus accessories). And the line is now abandoned with no successor tablet in the works.

I'm not sure if the drivers ever fixed the battery issue, but early tests had a <6 hour battery life with light web surfing and medium brightness. And it's essentially unmaintainable with everything encased and a glued-on front panel. And if you break one now, you're probably never finding a replacement screen.

That's not to say it might not have its niche uses, but I wouldn't spend much on one.

Its not a bad unit if your receive a good working one, I purchased one last year it was fine for a little bit and later developed a screen flickering issue when hot or on for a little bit. Later one of the usb ports has also become non functional, if you travel to hot and humid place the keyboard will tend to curl and not stay flat. Help and support were not of much use they pretty said send the unit in and they will look at it, but no repairs will be made, if the unit is defective they provide a credit of your purchase price. So basically there is no warranty as they said there are no replacement units available, I've been in contact with support for months and no resolutions.

If you install Linux there will be some loss of features, such as screen brightness adjustment and poor volume control.

With all that aside, it is a decent amount of power in a small form factor, just be prepared for no support, no parts/accessories even a replacement screen protector will be a challenge to source, poor battery life, and if the display flickers be prepared to use it with an external monitor.
