Did you use it as a tablet without the keyboard attached? It weighs in at 800 grams or the same as an iPad with a case. I was very skeptical of the tablet experience, coming from iPads which just work (otherwise I'm Android and Windows for all my other machines and devices), but the size and aspect ratio won me over when reading comic books and page-sized PDFs... absolutely love that. Less a fan for video and web media consumption because it gets hot and the fan kicks in which is unpleasant in a tablet.
Now if you're talking about an iPad Air, the weight difference is appreciable... but then so is the cost / value proposition / screen size (12" to 9.7" for reading is big, for surfing less so, which is why 7" is so popular).
well im currently rolling with an ipad mini retina so the weight is quite different, also the best buy one was kinda tethered down which probably didn't help.
I think if the keyboard was a bit better i'd probably would have gotten this when i was in college.
