Nearly 105GB when new

The capacity depends on your usage, for me it's ok, I added on 64GB microSD for my documents

Ok. Thanks. I went to pavillion to take a look. Unfortunately, harvey norman only until is kept inside a cabinet and they dont allowed me to test. I will go other place to test first before buying. But it seems to big slightly bigger den I expect. Is it fine bringing around to use as a tablet in your opinion?

from my opinion, if u want to use it as a casual tablet, its slightly bigger but i don't see a problem as its not so heavy (1.1-1.2kg) if u take off the keyboard and leave it in the bag.
i prefer to put it as a stand on the table as its easier to just use the finger and flip ebooks or websites.
It only takes a small space to put it in a stand mode and u can use the wireless keyboard to surf the website while sitting.

i think its best to check out the demo before deciding..

How is it to use on the lap?
As good as a normal laptop or compromised like the Surface?

can u elaborate what's the issue with surface ?

u can take a look at the 5 different layouts and imagine how it will feels like on your lap.

i think it should be pretty steady if its in a laptop mode and rest on your lap because the keyboard will be in-front and the tablet is in the middle if you're in a sitting position.
If u flatten it like a tab, the keyboard will be attached to the back, and this means , the back of the tablet is protected by another layer of protection below, therefore the back of the tablet won't get scratch so easily on a rough surface if u flatten it.

As for the second question of whether its good as a normal laptop, it depends on your definition of a normal laptop.
Its slightly better than i3 (haswell) and it has sufficient ram to run casual applications. It will be better of with 256GB storage (i wonder why they only have 128gb, its clearly not enough, because this machine can run 2010-2013 games at reasonable speed and some of them are like in 10-20gb)..

Oh.. one more thing.. it boots latest UBUNTU from USB thumbdrive very well.. WIFI and gfx is working..

just some comments.

Both my questions relate to the same thing 'lapability' ie typing with the device on your lap, sitting down with your legs down or up on a stool.
