I would really suggest that you read the manual. So often people don't get the benefit of the features of the tablet simply because they didn't bother to read the user manual. Once you're comfortable, it will probably benefit you to update the operating system. As far as I know, the 700 is still shipping with Ice Cream Sandwich. Upgrading to Jelly Bean is quite simple and improves the experience. Personally, I like to run my tablet in "Performance" mode as opposed to "Balanced" mode since I find things run faster and smoother, although this uses more battery power. But that hasn't been an issue for me. I don't know if you have the keyboard/dock also, but it has some additional features, especially having the additional battery. Hope you enjoy your new tablet!
