Slightly uneven Battery
Pros

- Lightweight
- Build Quality is great
Cons
- Battery is only good for about 3 hours when in heavy use
- The Pen sometimes has to be re-synced after updates
- Can be slow to come out of sleep if you leave it alone for more than 30 mins
- Using the pen can sometimes be a little over sensitive.
Overall I think it is a great tablet, I had a full fat laptop before and have a high end Desktop at home and this gives a comparable experience to that. Obviously if you want to do anything like video editing you will want to go with a higher end mode.(Or you can use LQ Proxy's) but I imagine it would have no trouble with Photoshop or other drawing apps.
The battery life is really the only sticking point, if you are looking for something with a long battery life whilst doing demanding work then you are better picking up a higher end laptop. However for most work you get between 3 to 5 hours of life and if you are not doing much that can stretch out 9 or so hours.
However if you are looking for a tablet for general use then I would say this will serve you pretty well.
