Depends what kind of person you are!!

Does it crash often - can do depends what you put on it and whether you want to spend a bit (maybe quite a bit) of time tweaking it here and there - maybe nipping into registry to make a change or two to suit you. (I have mine pretty stable now - no soft reset for around 3 weeks or so though it takes effort to get it to this state.)

It is fun, you learn to love it and it's little faults most of which have some work around. If you like spending time basically playing around with the look / feel and function of this kind of device I say change to it.

If you expect something out of the box with little to do except stick applications on it, and you would get bored fiddling around with this and that setting, then stay away from it.

The screen alignment issue is far less prevalent than in the earlier models. But there are still one or two around. If buying from a shop check that the keyboard has a firm slide and click into position when both open and closed (some can be a bit loose) If (big if) they let you stick battery in and power up, check each keyboard key using say WORD to ensure non of them need too firm a press to get the letter to come up.

Finally I'd say if you intend the device as a more or less purely business machine then probably I'd settle for a lower spec and possibly more stable device. But if you are something of an experimenter and like a broad range of fairly high spec possibilities and enjoy the challenge of this kind of thing then it's for you.
