Call me superficial, but these devices look horrible. They have huge bezels, kid-toy looking edges, and not exactly competing in the market for 'slim and sexy'. Not everything needs to look like an iDevice, but surely there are some other designs that can look good without sacrificing utility. Nokia had some great looking stuff, MS has some great looking stuff, ASUS and MSI both look great... heck even Dell products are starting to look nice again. Why can't HP get it right when everybody else can?
Sigh, what kind of business mobility devices are these? No 4G/LTE? Really? It seems that the only company that's willing to do this is Dell, but I'm hesitant to try because they really dropped the ball on the last version (Venue 11 Pro). Does anyone else offer 4G/LTE besides Dell? What's the holdup?
Sorry, I should have been more specific about my questions/complaints; I'm looking for a Broadwell based tablet with 4G/LTE connectivity, and for reasons I can't comprehend, there are very few (only Dell that I can think of). C'mon Microsoft, where's my Surface 4 with LTE?!

Probably coming in the next few months. :peanazag - Tuesday, January 20, 2015 - link
I hope so. I can then stop saying MS has a non-compete agreement with Apple. It is coming too late.And I have heard similar on the Dell Venue Pro. They have some things to work out in execution as the concept seems desirable.
Dell get your docking right. Laptop docking is the standard.

Yeah, as Jarred said, probably soon. Costs have come down a lot, so it'll surely be in a lot more devices.eanazag - Tuesday, January 20, 2015 - link
Okay? A $1600 Atom based tablet that is rugged? Why not just buy 3-4 regular Atom tablets for when they break?Not much compelling over a Surface Pro. Android tablets are just "me too" tablets.
