Windows 8 still lacks polish in it's new metro ui styled applications. The biult in reader, while totally awsome, is buggy at times and corrupts pen data if screen is rotated.

There are no good apps on the app market. Most games/popular apps are android 2.3 ports and cost significantly more compared to iOS and android. Angry birds cost $4.99...

The type cover could have really used a trackpoint as found on thinkpads and select sony ultraportables

The pen becomes incredibly inaccurate towards the corners, especially the top right.

No WINTAB driver support so you can forget using the stylus as anything more than a glorifiyed pointer until micrososoft resolves this issue with walcom.

The display angle too vertical for comftorable lap use, theres no autobrightness...
