one thing i noticed in win 7, when you fold it in tablet mode, the touchpad still works.. in windows 8, it disables it.

second problem, when you are in tablet mode, the screen does not rotate, might be a software/driver issue, i just dont know what.. the pinch to zoom does not work in windows 7

so if you want those feature, i skip this model, if you dont use them, it works pretty well
