Pros  
(a) : On the go Computing
Amazing feeling that you are carrying a mobile laptop in your pocket. No need to carry big laptops for your presentations in your College/ Company just carry this handy tablet and connect it to the projector via Wi-Fi or HDMI cable and operate it through your phone (using other apps for presentations) for next slides.

(b) Windows 10 operating system
Light, original & secure and fast Windows 10 operating system comes along with this tablet. OS takes up comparatively less space.

Battery optimization techniques of windows os are just fantastic. Tablet's battery runs all day long if used roughly (Reading, browsing, songs etc ), runs for approximately 3 days on standby mode and can last upto 3-4 hours on watching movies.

(d) Connectivity Features 

HDMI, Wireless connectivity are plus points for this tablet. Connect it to external monitors or TV the tablet will then act as a CPU. Attach wireless mouse and keyboards and enjoy the PC experience while sitting on the couch.
