I don't see many problems on the tablet now. The minimum display brightness could be dimmer, and it sometimes sucks its battery on standby, though that may be arch rather than the tablet hw specifically. For sure it's going to get really interesting if they manage to expand the range of hw they run on. They've always supported x86 though, and I can't see that stopping. Atom on mobile is on the rise.
