Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I just got the first generation Lynx yesterday.
Perhaps it was the tapered expectations from al l the mixed reviews Ive read about it but I have to say Im honestly impressed. Last night I read two chapters of one of my favorite manga on it and I dont think Ive ever been more content with reading something in digital form. As fond as I am with Windows 8 on the desktop, the tablet is where the Modern UI really shines. I purchased it mainly as a content consumption device when Im away from my desk or out and about but its not a laptop replacement as I got it without its mechanical keyboard cover but that doesnt bother me too much. The Split onscreen keyboard is a godsend when typing in landscape mode; generally, the context sensitive nature of the onscreen keyboard is really pleasant. It feels a lot more solid than I was expecting and the thinness is makes it feel like a really elegant high-end piece of kit despite its low price. Its definitely worth it for a 64GB tablet and the low 1366 resolution doesnt bother me as much as I thought it would plus the screen has excellent color quality when viewed from standard viewing angles. I bought this as a stop-gap solution as the $379 price was too good to pass up. If the experience keeps being this good, I look forward to getting a 13 hybrid laptop next year.
