Just got mine  less than a week ago and I had many of the issues listed on these threads. I have done all the updates and a bunch of tweaks I have seen on here and other places and it seems to run pretty good now but the battery life is really not that great.  So if you want long battery life live with the problems.  It could be a great tablet if you didn't have to go in and turn off most of the items that would make it great.  One other thought, if you use the mobile keyboard with the battery in it this thing is as heavy as a laptop so you  might as well just get the laptop that works.
