$350-400 is a much more reasonable MSRP

1.46 GHz Atom Z3775 CPU and Intel GMA HD graphics... You might need to lower your settings a bit.

Also wasn't this exact tablet $299 at U of T bookstore in 2014? And you didn't need to be a student either.

Good deal. I'd get it if I didn't already have one. I've had one for 2+ years (and paid 450 for a NIB from Craigslist).

Computer isn't fast, and can be buggy with various issues. On mine it'll shut off for no reason from sleep mode and may not start initially when I press the power button -- I need to wait a minute and try again... My mother's had other baffling issues where certain keys no longer worked (and it was a software issue as I found one other person online asking about the exact same keys no longer working) and various other things stopped working. I think it stopped being able to find Wi-Fi locations so she couldn't use the internet on it. At the price it would have cost to fix she just got a new computer.

.. So, be aware it has issues.

However for someone that just wants to type documents and go online it's (usually) just fine and very lightweight. At the price you can't expect perfect.

If you read between the lines, it looks like the keyboard is included from the overview:
Keyboard dock is comfortable for typing
What's in the Box?
Notebook
Unless Best Buy has redefined the meaning of a notebook to mean tablet, the keyboard should be included.

That was the 32GB model with a Z3740 chip. This is an updated version with 64GB and the somewhat faster Z3775.

Thanks OP! Haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm currently looking for something to replace my parents' old laptop that has been dying a slow death...Is it quick to boot up? They really only use their laptop for light web browsing and playing solitaire...think this is a decent machine for these purposes?

Yep, very fast to boot (flash memory). Keyboard has a USB port (USB3) on the side for a mouse (or use built in bluetooth).

For web browsing and solitaire/cards - it's excellent. Use it as a tablet when you want, or a laptop when you want. Very versatile for light work/use

My sister has been using mine for about 2-3 years and the only problem she has is the rubbe rfeet on the keyboard falling off causing the screen to not sleep properly when closed. A rubber band solves that problem.

Is $299 Bestbuy's regular price? I don't see it listed as a sale price.
