Iconia Tab W500 by book-reader--book-reader (Dec, 2011)I love the back and front cameras - my much heavier now disposed of laptop did not have a rear camera.
processor
Iconia Tab W500P by tazzink (Mar, 2012)Way over priced you can buy a 13 inch laptop with larger hard drive, and faster processors for the price.
Iconia Tab W500 by Mad-Cow--moooooooMany will equate it to a netbook without a keyboard, but it's faster than many of the dual core netbooks out there (mainly the cheaper versions - which is almost all of them).
