For some reason, all these WindowsRT and Windows 8.1 tablets have been a big let down.
I think at this point if the average person wants personal electronics get a:
- smartphone (iPhone 6, SGS4 or better)
- an iPad (cheap iPad 2, iPad mini 2, iPad Air 2)
- a laptop (Macbook Air/Pro Retina, Yoga Pro, XPS 13, Acer S7, Ativ, Elitebook, etc)

I am the last person ever to say anything positive about windozy-things, but there are some who are pretty satisfied.
My wife uses an Asus W8.1 tablet (with some atom-i-dont-remember-whatsoever-cpu) and she is quite happy with it.
I made it pretty clear from the start I will be not maintaining/administring it for her because Windows is poison for my soul and I would die if I touched the thing. She has managed quite well with it herself.
My list on what an user really should get is:
- smartphone; The Jolla device
- tablet: The Jolla tablet
- laptop: a secondhand Lenovo T60 (or X60s if you want a smaller one)
Anything else is waste of your money and bad for your health.

Dude, I get where you're coming from but the point was from an average consumers point of view.
Lenovo T60... sure Windows7 is not too sucky, but this thing is aged bro. And not aged like wine, but like milk. Better to settle for something from 2012 (Ivy Bridge) and up. Upgrading of 2 years (and up) can ensure you upgrade at the major release, ie the tick of the "tick tock cycle".
Jolla Tablet is vaporware as far as the average consumer is conserned.
Jolla phone is small, slow, hard to get, difficult support, little third party interested as far as the average consumer is concerned. Its a very small niche. Blackberrys, Symbian, webOS, FirefoxOS, Ubuntu Phone.... all niche.
In fact, its hard to even recommend a Windows Phone 8.1 device.

Why I advocate those older Lenovo T* models is because the build quality of those devices is terrific; most of the laptops that are specced with "modern" chipsets are really crappy when regarding the display, keyboard and the general toughness of the devices.
If you desire real quality you need to shell out way ove 2000 euros.
It's not like Lenovo suddenly forgot how to make quality laptops, bro.
All I'm saying is that a newer model is better, because it incorporates some advancements.
And well why would you want to use any version of Windows is really behind my comprehension. The device I'm typping this with is running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS for example...
So can you tell me why an user would want to select a system that is "not-a-niche-product", what benefit would that bring to you?
