So a quick update. We've had it for almost 2 months now and we use the absolute shit out of it. I'm pretty sure someone is using it 70% of the day around here. My wife has all of her email and calendars on it, plus she uses it to do basic web browsing, shopping, and research into stuff. I even got her Entertainment Weekly subscription on it, which is pretty damn cool because all the songs and movie reviews have embedded video/audio. It has pretty much replaced her laptop for general usage. The kids play games on it a lot and use Netflix on it a fair amount. I use it to play games and test my websites and stuff. It's so beautiful and easy to use and the battery life is freaking incredible no matter how hard we use it.
Granted, from a work perspective, I can see how it would be hard to use some of that software and truly be productive, but I bet you could find a way with some of it. Hell, even Office is doing online only going forward so theoretically you could do all your work via the web on it.
Anyways, just wanted to post a quick secondary review.
