Sporting a magnesium casing, tons of ports and connections, and a brilliant, optically-bonded screen, this is one hell of a tablet that stands tall for both work and play.
Vapor Mg Casing, Full USB 2.0 Port, microHDMI, magnetic power connector
Heavier than it looks ( nevertheless it is sturdy weight), casing is prone to smudges
