Pro Comes with a versatile stylus
N-trig pen feels like a real pen and is natural to hold. There is a top button on the pen that allows for an eraser function as well as use for a wake up function.
Pro Very fast processor for a tablet
i3, i5 or i7
Con Large for a Tablet
12" screen, 20x29 cm body
Con Expensive
£640 - £1550 without keyboard, depending on configuration
Pro Runs windows. OneNote.
OneNote is probably the best note taking software out there. The only flaw is perhaps how they raster pdfs before allowing annotation.
Pro Build quality.
Helix 2 has a great build quality. It's very resistant.
Con Standard (Ultrabook) keyboard has problems
The standard keyboard has several problems which make it on of the weak points in an otherwise good gadget. It has no hinge, can drop off and has poor contact.
Con High price
Helix 2 has a pretty high price all things considered. It starts at $944.99
Pro Batteryless Wacom pen
Never requires a recharge, silo in tablet
Con Android 4.1
An old Android build, no likely future upgrades
