Many "reviewers" don't even bother to allocate extra precious bytes to that.

-I am not interested in lengthy descriptions of unboxing ceremonies.

-even with review copies handed out for free you rarely find reviewers revisiting their first review with an update after 3 months of usage / after software upgrade... A free device is a high price to pay for a one shot, rushed out review that seems to be the a sign of diminishing interest in tablets and an overload of models.

-If drop / pet / toddler tests were to be performed on the device as part of the final benchmark things would be different but..
Is it better? How would you compare it to trustedreviews.com review? :P (I suggest reading the comments after the link was posted, where it's just copy paste from older review from trustedreviews.com)
