Polished, understated design ; Great graphics performance, thanks to Tegra 3 ; IPS display offers wide viewing angles

Nvidia Tegra3 1.2Ghz processor, 8MP rear camera, Latest Android 4.0 OS, Highly configurable, Keyboard dock, Vast range of apps, Easy to use, Will work with External HDD, Much cheaper than the iPad

Not the brightest of screens, Average speakers, Unbalanced when used with dock, No 3G
