Have been using this tablet for around 3 days. Its time to share my humble opinion. :)

This is one amazing tablet. It has got a decent display resolution despite there being a glaring yellow tint on my set. For my device, the tint is only visible when there is a dark background on high brightness. Otherwise, the defect is barely noticeable.

Note that however, the glass protecting the display is not as superior as those on high end handsets - that's the Note 4 and perhaps even the iPhone. There seems to be little to no coating on the glass display. It does make the usage experience a tiny bit harder as you can't glide as smoothly as you normally could but otherwise, this is a really good 5 point touch IPS display.

This device does come with a MicroSD expansion slot and if I am not wrong, its expandable up to an additional of 32GB. The weight is however on the heavy side, a tat bit heavier than Nexus 7 and even the iPad Mini. Usable on one hand though the weight does put some strain on your arm.

Physically this device is very well built. There's hardly any flex and for this price it even comes with dual camera, albeit inferior cameras.

The next part, is on software.

Zzzz... I just wrote one very long review on the software but when I tapped on the submit button, it redirected me to the login page instead. Lost the software review. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyway the software is really fluid. Will continue where I left off when I have the time. Ps.

Thanks for the review!

Can it support scribbling to annotate on PDF with a stylus?

Hmm... scanned through your public profile. Can't lend you sorry but hor, can sell you at S$150. XD

Think you order from Microsoft store or Amazon better lar. What you want me to test? If it doesn't take a lot of time can run some known apps for test for you.

Buy loh...I paid around $133..minus away 6% for using Frank Credit card so it is around $125...Not that expensive...

Mine $131. Haha. As much as I dislike uOB I used UOB PP for the purchase. Now planning my SQ flight on business class. :)

Anyway quite good lar. If you do have defects, submit to HP HQ and request for a written note it's defective on arrival. Can use this to bark Amazon for partial refund.m

They quite nice.
