Honeycomboptimised apps are sparse
No 5GHz WiFi
No charging over USB
Android isn't yet fully notebook ready

The choppy recording and playback of the camcorder
Its sharp edges
A build quality that's somewhat lacking
And problems that arise when docking
Keyboard is a little slow when used in the web browser
