Asus ZenPad Z10 (ZT500KL) 9.7" display, 6-core Snapdragon SoC, 3gb ram, LTE, microSD card. Only 32 gigs storage, though. The solid metal design is quite nice, it's light and feels good when holding it and the display is beautiful. I'd been looking for a new tablet with LTE since my HP Spectre x2 broke, and while it's Android and not Windows, the Z10 is great.
I used it for navigating on my drive to Utah, as a general use tablet, along with Android games (which run quite well despite being a midrange SoC and GPU). If I buy a BT keyboard, it could easily double as a productivity device despite lacking split screen/floating windows.
The biggest con to this tablet though, is one of it's greatest strengths - Verizon. It's locked to their network and only supports their bands.
The second con that most will consider the biggest one is that the capacitive touch keys used for navigation aren't backlit! They aren't backlit on the Z500M, Asus's non-branded version of the tablet (which is slightly better as it has 4gb ram, Z-Stylus support and 64gb storage), which is a bizarre decision on Asus' part.
Overall though, I quite like the tablet. It's worth the $350 retail (or even what I paid for it, $389 - $149 and 2yrs or $10/mo service).
My Lenovo Tab2 A10 is out!
