-the optical drive is terrible (takes forever for the CD to spin up fast enough to read, doesn't always latch when you close it, you sometimes have to open it and close it again because it isn't reading the CD/DVD correctly, etc)
-The performance is not good enough for vista. Make sure you get 4GB of ram at a minimum if you get it, 2GB doesn't cut it.
-It is too heavy and bulky for a tablet

It is not all bad, the tablet works pretty well, the screen is bright and looks good, it has a pretty diverse selection of ports. But overall, it feels like a piece of junk to me.

I just bought one of these badboys and I think it will be tons better. However, they have emailed and said due to high demand the order won't ship for 1-2 weeks (booo).
