I also noticed, in some instances, that when stopping a youTube video and then closing the keyboard over, the video started playing again - this is definitely a software not a hardware problem - but is something you should be aware of. The facial recognition works well on the device, I did notice that the camera for Skype is not as wide as I would expect and you have to put the laptop a little further away than others to comfortably skype.

I got the 128Gb/8Gb version and expanded the storage with another 256Gb Micro SD card. I've also never noticed this device get hot. I watch YouTube videos in full HD and have watched NetFlix shows in 4K without any stuttering problems. I have, however, seen people use this device for software development sucessfully. It's worth noting that my expectations of this machine were to run Lightroom and Photoshop, I don't have games on here and have Spotify as my only other program, that's it. The charging brick does have a separate USB-A connector, which allows you to charge a mobile phone or other device at the same time, it's not a quick charger and you can't transfer data but it's one less plug that you need. They have a proprietary charging port, which cannot easily be adapted to USB, so you have to lug around the charging brick (admittedly, a very small brick) and can't charge from a USB battery. The bad points: It's a Microsoft tablet, running full Windows. Obviously, with some windows updates the performance has slowed down. This means that I can install the full version of the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Lightroom), and they do perform admirably. The good points: It's a Microsoft tablet, running full Windows. The keyboard is a must, some inputs on screens do not show the windows soft keyboard, which is frustrating! I could not use this as a primary editing machine as it's just too frustrating. I wanted a machine I could edit photos on, on the go.
