Expert tester comments
Very good as a tablet on its own, but only adequate when turned into a laptop with the Targus THZ858 keyboard case. We like the ability to use 4G, the quality of its screen, the responsiveness of the touchscreen, and the high portability of the tablet, but when the keyboard case is attached, it feels too clunky to use comfortably.
