Overall Summery
The good
Full suite of connectivity features
VGA display
Separate mini-USB
Audio jack
TV-out for presentations
The bad
Large and heavy
Lacks user-available RAM
Security software needs improvement
No bundled GPS software or maps; can be unresponsive at times.
The bottom line
Though it comes with a ton of features including a sharp VGA display, the implementation of its software needs refinement for it to live up to its “Ultimate” title.
