The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[Jake]

I have pretty much only used Dells over the years, but right now my work laptop is a Latitude E7240 and it is a little beast.

Heh, my work laptop is also a Latitude E7240 and it's "fine" but I would never spend money on another one. Started life on Windows 7 and now has Windows 8. In both instances, the battery life has proven to be only a few hours (2 is all I can count on). The fan runs far more than it should given it has a SSD, which only helps to kill the battery faster. Trackpad is decent but not to Apple standards. And the rubber "frame" around the screen has come unglued and is hanging off, just from not-quite two years of office use, with some occasional couch and table use if I work from home.

Mine doesn't get banged around and it's kind of a POS It's the i7 with 8 GB of RAM so it's zippy - mine doesn't have the backlit keyboard though. And the screen is... okay.
