I havent tried but the reviews that i read before getting mine confirmed it did.

cpuz or the one that wiz linked to. I ended up using daskclock and installing the cpu temp reader (along with other goodies) that i eventually placed the widget on my main screen so i can view everything asap.

I usually toss on avast, seems to be pretty decent along with them having a device locater/wiper as well. As a bonus it has a device section which shows all of my devices that have avast installed, incl my desktop pc's. Great tool to keep tabs on everything, especially if you lose your...

I usually stick with hancom or adobe, adobe seems to be the better performer tho

My biggest knock is that i wished it had 3gb instead of its 2, its common that i always have it near its maxed. Some editing programs say they cant export because not enough mem free. Other than that, great device.

Thanks for your input, looks like bestbuy here in Canada are finally selling them, little stock mind you. Even tho the description says white it shows it in black lol

Tried BS player, very nice! Plays all of my MKV's and other files without issue. Most other players didnt play the sound to my MKV's. Thanks!!

Seeing that i have the Nexus 5 (same chipset), i ran pretty much the same things side by side with my 8.4 and the heat performance is pretty much identical. Ran heavy browsing for about 15min and each device was balancing between 34-36cel, the Nexus 5 handles the heat a lot better so i didnt...

Canadian Bestbuy? Cant see anything on their site for the 8.4, just stuff for all their older stuff. The only CDN site i can find is from NCIX, which it says "back ordered - NA". Frustrating, launching accessories, in quantity, at the same time as the product should be essential :(

This is the one i want to get as well, but it appears that they dont ship to Canada (cant select via order form) nor does the CDN website have any info. Heck, the CDN website has zero info about these new tablets... ugh.

I spent a loooong time at the store playing around with both in hand, the 8.4 just seems more special when holding it. Impressed that the 10.1 feels as light as the 8.4 and having the bigger screen seems ideal, but for some reason i get more of a tingly feeling when using the 8.4. Hows the...

Re: Does anyone else love holding the 8.4 in landscape? Tru, but when i watch movies i tend to hold it landscape and even then my fat stubs tap the keys :) Again once you get familiar with it you learn how to reposition your thumbs better.

Hottest i got it was 40c, that was with heavy internet use and photo editing. Idle sits around 25c but it gets to 35 pretty quick when browsing. Ill start using the default browser instead of chrome to see if thats the reason.

Re: Does anyone else love holding the 8.4 in landscape? My only complaint with holding it landscape is that my thumbs keep triggering the back and app keys. Kind of annoying at first but you learn how to position better. Other than that i really like using it that way.

Re: battery life was awesome right out the box... I was getting roughly 6hrs in the first few days but i think it was because of the heavy use of downloading, installing, copying movies and music...etc, but since getting set in my daily routine this is my typical outcome. I dont use the...
