I'm finding the apps perfectly good for my needs - in fact I prefer many on the tablet than on my desktop. The browser is almost exactly the same as my desktop one, and there's perfectly good apps for just about everything I need to do - with the added bonus of a touchscreen interface.
Like I said, I won't be buying a laptop without a touchscreen from now on.

Can someone explain to me what jellybean is? In simple terms. Imagine I'm your mother.
I am really tempted but it would be another laptop style computer, I already have a mac and a little Toshiba netbook (that is very well built with Harmon Kardon speakers, HD screen) and want to put a deposit down on a house in a few weeks when it becomes available.
Doesn't seem like two minutes I was over the moon you could buy laptops with built in wifi!!

It is Google's Operating System, instead of using Windows you're using Android Jelly Bean. Android is the name of the OS and the Jelly Bean is the version. An OS basically makes it possible for software to talk to your hardware and for you to use the computer.

Looks like shit, smells like shit, tastes of shit.
"Mum, it's the latest version of the Android software - hope that's not too techy."

I went for a snazzy red one at 12.99 in the end: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RED-USB-K...lios&hash=item19d2e7219c&_uhb=1#ht_4305wt_912
Partly because it's got next day delivery and I WANT IT NOW DAMMIT.

Ok - so what OS will it be running at the moment? How is jellybean better? And will downloading it hurt my head / potentially cause any problems?

I think they come with Ice Cream sandwich, but should auto update to Jellybean for you - no headache. I may need to be corrected on this though.
Jellybean will have more features, be more stable, prolong battery life - that kind of thing. It will do all the techy stuff for you, you'll just need to agree to download it and update your machine.
It could cause problems, yes, there is always that risk but it is minimal.

Mine took two updates to reach Jelly Bean nirvana. As soon as you hook it up to a wi-fi connection it will go looking, and should do all the updating in the first 30 mins - you just have to resist the urge to start installing everything and let it do its updating first.

Proper break this time
Is anyone elses " and @ the wrong way round on the hardware keyboard?
Jellybean is fucking with Flash - no iplayer?
any workarounds?

Ok - well mine wasn't working at all well yesterday, and I thought i would definitely be returning it. Slower than dialup. Slow slow slow.
Today, at my sister's, it is working what i assume is properly: there's a little lag as it catches up with my typing, still though. Haven't tried iplayer yet, which will be a dealbreaker, and obviously I need to try it again at home.
So... I'm reserving judgement. Yesterday I was properly heartbroken - and even if I do keep it, our relationship will always be taineted by that difficult first day... *sniff*.

typing lag everywhere - including now as i'm typing this. i'm not a fast typist either. so, occasionally i'll finish typng a word, look at the screen and the last four or five letters have yet to appear. the rest of the time, it's just the

final letter. I had to enter that last post before i was ready, because it suddenly started making everything i typed in the reply box type into the address bar!
yesterday it was taking between two and twelve minutes to load a web page.
it still seems to struggle with facebook, in that when i press 'view all comments', it highlights instead the name of the first person who's commented. Once or twice i'd think it was inaccurate touchscreen stuff, but it's every time. It doesn't like pressing like on facebook either.

ok - just had to press reply early again, this time because it wouldn't recognise my typing at all. The typing lag is getting worse. Sorry - this particular machine is clearly a piece of shit. Really, really pissed off.

OK, What browser are you using? The default one?
Have you tried Chrome? If not, install it because typing should work perfectly well in that.

Does the typing lag in any other app? I do a lot of typing on my machine and I've had no lag at all - it's just like a laptop.
*edit to add: I've just done some research and it all seems to point to the default browser, Give Chrome a try and see how you get on.

I understand your frustration, but you shouldn't be getting this horrible experience - and I feel a bit guilty because I've been recommending this machine!
Have you tried turning the machine off completely (holding down the power button until it shows up as an option) and then restarting?
It may just be that one of the OS updates needs a reboot to settle in.

Since this update my browser isn't working at all - keeps crashing 
Spanglechick - when I first got mine I tried using firefox and it was awful, slow, typing lag etc. Thought I had bought a dud. But then I realised it had a default browser on it that worked fine. I'm now using Chrome though since this update.
