Have had my slate for several months now and every day I grow more attached to it. I have the 128GB model and expanded storage with a class 10 32GB micro SD card since they are going for about $1 per GB these days. I had the dock ordered but really have not felt I would need it. I would highly recommend getting some kind of stand for it and then I use the Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and mouse if I'm going to be doing major work on it. Otherwise I can just grab it and go without needing anything else. Battery life has been impressive in my opinion. I get consistently 8-9 hours use a day on a single charge with moderate to heavy usage. Not sure why the other reviewer said there wasn't HDMI out. It is on mine and I don't remember having to ask for anything special. It is micro HDMI so you need an adapter to connect a regular size HDMI cable, but it is there and it works - I have used it only once, but it was relatively painless. Windows 8 is coming and once it is available this machine will really be amazing. Can't wait!

PROS:
SSD
core i5 cpu
good set of applications / software
not so much bloatware
touch works very well
light wt
clear screen
win7pro 64bit
snappy and fast
1x USB iniput
1x Hdmi input
micro sd slot
handwriting recognition mechanism works really well
cons:
occasional fan noise - but doesn't bother me
limited space
1x usb input
wish it had slot for regular SD card - not micro
samsung application home mimics android menu but it's not really useful
cost
handwriting mech works well but takes time for you to get used to it and requires 50 writing samples at least (not sure if this is of windows / the machine itself)
battery life can be extended with some tweaking but it seems about ~5hrs per charge - wish it were longer
-------------
my wife has the ipad2, and I just didn't like the fact that it was not really like a laptop... (obviously)
this unit is basically a laptop in a tablet case. it's amazing how they fit in a SSD, i5 cpu, video card, ram in this really ultra small factor.
everything opens up very quickly without lag. I took out IE and loaded chrome. very nice performance overall.
you have option of using the pen (included) or your own hands. has virtual keyboard. overall very pleasant experience.
occasional fan noise bugs a little but it's not too loud.
I had fun entering in my writing samples but it does get tiresome (50 sentences at least - u can stop in the middle and continue later)
wireless network range seems to be very good. on par with my sony vaio VPCZ1.
will update more with more details after some more usage.

While Windows 7 may not be the best tablet OS I think many professional review sites that have blasted the windows Slates by comparing them against iPad don't appreciate what makes them great for real work and why they cost more. Let me list a few of the killer advantages of this Slate over competing cheaper tablets:
1. wacom digitizer: makes this slate several times more useful for good note taking and sketching of ideas. It is also great for artistic sketching and painting in your spare time. Pressure sensitivity and eraser make part of the difference, but the most important point in its favor is just the finer control you get with the sharp tip vs. a finger.
2. multitouch display makes it competitive with the ease of use of the cheaper tablets
3. can run any of the apps I use at work, including fully featured Outlook, OneNote, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Webex, Skype and if I wanted Visual Studio, although I prefer a proper laptop for that.
4. No need to install many apps that are just a replacement for a website that doesn't work well on a mobile browser. Many apps today are just that. I can just use the more robust web browsers on windows instead. Example: OpenTable, Amazon, Mint, Yodlee.
5. a solid stable OS. While I love Android I think it is taking a while to reach the level of quality of Windows 7.
6. great performance: Core i5, 4 Gb RAM and 64 GB SSD make this slate very snappy for both entertainment and work applications. An iPad with 64 GB costs $700, but you get a slower CPU and 1/4 of RAM. To be fair its display is higher resolution, it has a 10 hour battery life vs. 7 in this case, and it has more sensor. Weight is 1.44 lbs for the new iPad and 1.9 lbs for the Samsung slate. Tablets with NVIDIA Tegra 3 quadcore CPUs are closer but Android lacks a bit. I expect Tegra 3 equipped tablets running WindowsRT (windows 8 on ARM) along with Wacom digitizers will be as good, but those are a few months away.
I haven't tried the Windows 8 Consumer Preview but I heard great things about it on this Slate. I may wait until the final build because of software compatibility concerns (incompatible with the antivirus I need for work).
All in all I am very satisfied with this product. So much that I felt compelled to write my first Amazon review for it, and I did it with its onscreen keyboard. And I have used Amazon Prime for almost two years and bougt my share of products before...
In summary: if you are looking for a great tablet/slate for both real work this is it. It may not be as great as a cheaper tablet for mobile gaming (not sure how well the integrated GPU handles recent windows games which probably are not designed for a touchscreen anyhow, and it lacks the gyroscope), but for web browsing, music playing, online video watching and kindle reading it also does a better job than the cheaper tablets due to its higher performance and full uncapped web browsing experience (Flash, Silverlight, HTML5... watch Hulu or Netflix without an app).
