    user, 22 Dec 2014the battery drains fast....Have u tried turning brightness setting down all the way and put it on airplane mode.? It supposed to get 5-7hrs doing that. But as you use wifi & turn brightness up and have too many unnecessary software auto updating, that may be reason for the draw on battery (eg.3-4hrs). I'll be receiving one of these tablets in a couple days, so I'll give my own feedback of battery later.

              I am not having the problems with battery life and regularly get 7-8hours of use with both WiFi and Bluetooth on and in use.

              I suspect that this is connected with the fact there is no ambient light sensor and the fact the Intel SoC does something rather clever with the back light and the display. This can be seen it you go to adjust the screen brightness manually .... you will find there is virtually no difference in screen appearance with maximum and minimum settings. It appears the SoC actively reduces the backlight while changing the display to minimise power usage. With the brightness control wound down to 0 to 10% I find the screen is still legible in all but bright sunlight and I get a long battery life. If I wind the brightness all the way up the screen isn't much brighter except in bright sun and I get the 4 or less hours battery life others appear to get.

              The sdcard is NOT limited to 32gb as I can use both 64gb and 128gb cards.

                  The battery is really poor... Continuous WiFi with moderate volume for youtube won't reach 4hours from full charge. It's snappy with a very beautiful screen. But the battery is truly a major turn off....

                      BTW is anyone else experiencing blacking of part of the screen for a split second particulary in chrome but Ive noticed it on the app menu and on es file explorer. It seems to be a rendering issue since I think the popup menu in chrome and the on screen buttons and the notification bar are still displayed, but Im not very sure since it happens so fast.

                        Battery dropped around 20% after one hour of reading a pdf file with light web browsing and spotify in background.

                          I am currently using a 64gb Sandisk card so the stated limitation to 32gb doesn't seem to apply.

                          The battery life is around 5-6 hours. The main omission is the sensor to allow automatic brightness control.

                          Just waiting for an update to lollipop and then I'll be quite happy.

                              This tablet is an outstanding tablet. I bought it and it works perfectly, doesn't stutter and the screen is very good. This tablet is the best choice in the range of 200 euros
