Pros:

Strong performance; Solid design; Accessories included; Solid pen support
Samsung's Series 7 Slate is a powerful touch-screen Windows 7 PC, with a very Windows-8-like optional interface.

Cons:

Larger and heavier than most tablets; Noticeable lag when rotating display; Expensive; Below-average battery life; Fan can be noisy
Onscreen typing is finicky and headache-inducing. The sold-separately dock and keyboard are practically required.
