Hi Ralph. I don't have complaints on the speed but I'm honestly not asking it to do much. For an excel sheet I might have my daily double probables spreadsheet that will give me the likely final odds. I can synch that over to it from my desktop PC with dropbox. Stuff like that it runs fine, web stuff it does smoothly. My first priority when shopping for this type of device at the time was the pdf markup experience, I watched a couple of reviews on the device and was hands-on with the ipads and other tablets and marked up some PDFs in best buy. This device to me was the better experience between the few that I played around with. Could the markup experience be better? yes there's some room for improvement but relative to what's out there it does it well with the pen. Once I got it home and fiddled with the setup it has been a pretty solid device for my needs. Again though I want to stress that I'm not doing heavy number crunching with this device, it's by no means a desktop replacement that I would write code on, it's more of a netbook/tablet experience. For a full laptop experience I'd probably suggest looking elsewhere. If say for example money were no object and I really needed a laptop for extensive travel or running something heavy I'd be looking into a Toughbook55 or something along those lines.
