![]() The testing machines are some of the first Eve produced, but the issues with the glass have left me with some doubts over its durability. The ports, kickstand, buttons, keyboard and microSD card slot are all well made, feel durable and have had no issues. Since that crack appeared, everything else has been fine and the screen works as designed. The third machine works perfectly, but has a small crack in the bottom right corner of the glass screen, which again, appeared after a trip in the backpack. The second test machine had what I can only assume was a faulty graphics card. It’s the same backpack I’ve used to transport a dozen different tablets and laptops without issue, including two different Surface Pros, and wasn’t dropped or subjected to any trauma. The first test unit I received ended up with a crack dissecting the screen from corner to corner following a trip in a laptop backpack with the keyboard shut over the screen like a laptop, which I could not explain. ![]() Having said that, I have had several hardware problems. The general build quality is very good – much better than you might expect from something crowdfunded – with a sturdy aluminium body, and the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass. The tablet is pretty heavy at 925g and weighs more than 1.3kg with the keyboard attached, which is about the weight of a premium 13in laptop. It’s sharp, very bright, has great viewing angles and accurate colour reproduction. It feels sturdy, although with a bit more flex and less range of movement than the current Surface Pro. On the back there’s a kickstand that holds the machine in place. The V runs your choice of Windows, but I would recommend Windows 10 Pro, because it has Microsoft’s Bitlocker drive encryption, so if the worst happens your data has a bit more protection from thieves. Like the Surface Pro the keyboard attaches via magnets to the bottom, snapping into place. It’s a 2-in-1 Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard. It would be fair to say the V is what happens when geeks look at the Microsoft Surface Pro and ask for more features.
