The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship and betrayal, and about the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of fathers over sons - their love, their sacrifices, and their lies. Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But through the devastation, Khaled Hosseini offers hope for redemption.

"A beautiful novel...ranks among the best-written and most provocative stories of the year." (The Denver Post)
"Powerful first novel...tells a story of fierce cruelty and fierce yet redeeming love." (The New York Times)
"What a whiner"
I was interested in this for two reasons. 1) Like everyone else, I'm interested to learn about Afghani culture in the wake of recent events, and 2) it's a local interest story to me in Fremont.
I didn't know quite what to expect in terms of plot, and was ready to go along with the autobiographical nature of the book.
Then I learned that the author is a bit of a weasel. A spineless, spoiled coward, with no character. He disappoints at every turn, and then spends the latter parts of the book trying to make amends. He does some good deeds, but they still reek of selfishness.
Finally, the writing itself is of mediocre quality, so even if you wanted to taste the truth of his character, the bitter with the sweet, the book is just plain not enjoyable.
"A must read!"
In these times, this story is a beautiful introduction to the afgani culture and people. You learn about the people you hear about on the news in the context of a beautifully written story.
This is the best Audible book I have ever enjoyed. Brilliantly written, read wonderfully by the author, absorbing from start to finish...I loved it.
"Mixed Review"
The first half of the book to me was rather boring. The second half picked up the pace and became more interesting, though still, I nearly gave up and started another book before finishing this one. In all fairness however, I would have to say that the book is very well written. The author fills his pages with rich descriptions of characters and places, which I assume are accurate and authentic in regards to life in Afghanistan. Also, as the narrator, he adds another dimension to the story that I think would be lacking if you read the book instead. In summary, I can't say that I'm sorry I used a book credit for this purchase, but on the other hand, I certainly wouldn't recommend it to fellow listeners unless one is very interested in the various elements of Afghan culture.
"Absolutely captivating"
This is a very powerful and touching story of friendship. It is also about loyalty and betrayal. It's written beautifully and narrated just as well. Absolutely captivating--you will love this book.
"High Praise"
In this remarkable book, Hosseini has created faces we can recognize in the hundreds of images of the war in Afghanistan that we've all seen in our newspapers and on our televisions. His portrayal of characters whose lives have been thrown into total upheaval, who have had to face the challenges of adulthood while still children, who are thrown into situations for which they have no training or skill and who still manage to survive is incredibly well-done. The people he creates are truly alive; you cry and bleed with them. And you hope with them too.
I agree with some critics that there are some rough edges arising from this being a first novel, and there may be some convenient coincidences to bring the book to its conclusion. But the book is at heart a comparison of life as the fantasies that we create and life as the harsh realities we cannot avoid and must learn to deal with. The author's strong use of first person present tense is a powerful tool he uses in creating the tension of this underlying theme of reality vs. unreality. All this is painted with a broad brush of the Afghan culture -- it's folk tales, poetry, religion, native symbolism, all peppered with a bit of Afghan "recklessness" and whimsy -- that leaves one very curious to learn more about these people. It is a notable book from that perspective alone.
The author as reader was good; he brought authenticity and made it a personal experience. It is hard to keep clear in one's mind that this is fiction.
I highly recommend this book as an adventure into a cultural experience that most of us will never know, and to meet people who are well worth knowing, if only to discover those bits of humanity that are common to us all no matter how diverse our lives may be.
"A Literary Masterpiece"
My friends and I read this book for our book group. While everyone else read the paper book, I was fortunate to be able to listen to the book, read by the author. It was incredible to listen to the author read the story and to hear the correct pronunciation of all the places and names. The story seems more real because a person with the appropriate accent read the story and it sounded like a first person narration of their life. The story itself is spectacular. Difficult at times to listen to the utter cruelity, class systems and destruction of a country and it's people. The journey is worthwhile and the book is deeply, deeply moving. Some scenes are so incredibly beautiful they took my breath away for a moment. It is comparable to a great work by John Steinbeck or Ernest Hemingway. It's actually a 6 star book. What a gift the author has given readers by writing this book.
"What a great story!"
If you only read or listen to one piece of fiction this year, it should be this book. You know that feeling you get when you read a powerful story? Well... I had that feeling when I listened to this book. The author does a wonderful job presenting his work. I will be telling all my literaturephile friends about this novel. This novel contains two of the most important elements of a novel. The authors has created compelling characters, and the protagonist/narrator embarks upon a life changing journey.
"A good"
I have found some stories difficult to follow without being able to see the written word. The Kiterunner, however,is a great story to hear. I'll confess though, being a visual learner, I had to pick up a copy and read the first chapter in a boookstore just to cement the names in my head. I will look forward to listening to more of Khaled Hosseini's great stories in the future. I highly recommend this as an audio book. A great listen!
"I really enjoyed it"
After reading the other reviews of this book, I was prepared to really hate the main character and squirm through the first part of the book (I'm the kind of person who changes the channel on TV when things become too awkward or annoying). Perhaps because I was prepared for it, I didn't didn't find the character nearly as intolerable as the other listeners. I found it to be an interesting portrayal of a child's self-centered world. His behavior is not admirable, but it's also not unrealistic. I found the last third of the book a little overly-dramatic, but certainly an interesting read. Overall, I greatly appreciated the view this book provided into life in Afghanistan in the 1970s (at least among the upper-class), Afghani culture, the impact of the many wars and the Taliban on the country, and the experience of Afghani immigrants in the US. The author's reading of the book provided an even richer context.
"Touching and gripping."
Excellent; a window on another world as well as a touching story of love, devotion and atonement. I highly recommend this book.
"Wonderfully Poignant"
This a beautifully written poignant story of unconditional love during turbulent times in Afghanistan and of how an adolescent boy's jealousy has long and devastating repercussions. This book is a journey of emotions from the first page to the last.
"Not as good as the hype."
Before listening to this I had heard many rave reviews of the book and therefore began to listen with high expectations. However, I found the story very disappointing, mainly due to the lack of affection I felt for the main character. He seemed to be amoral and self-centred, which resulted in me not really caring what happened to him. Although the book is well written, I found that my lack of connection with the main character meant that I had to force myself to listen to the whole book. I ended up being relieved when it was over, and confused about what everyone else seems to love about this book.
"stunningly good"
I don't usually read books about war and strife preferring to be entertained, but came across this book because of all the hype and thought I would give it a go. I was hooked from the beginning - it is a hauntingly good book and although it is set in troubling times it looks at the very real human problems that happen to individuals caught up in uneasy times. I listened all the way through in one day, and then went straight on to download his next book. Buy it - you certainly won't be disappointed
"Simply a brilliant epic story"
This is the harrowing tale of Amir from his early days in Afghanistan through to the U.S. and back to find the boyhood friend he betrayed. It's backdrop is a period of almost continuous war from the Russian invasion, through to the time of the brutal Taliban regime. It is harrowing in places, brilliantly written and performed and impossible to put down. In my top 10 any day.
Absolutely fantastic! Hosseini's voice really transports you to the streets of Kabul. A moving story which will stay with you forever.
"loved it!"
Loved it, can't wait to read/listen to other books by this author! Bravo as the author said
Could not leave the book if I wanted to. It became part of my thoughts. I had to keep listening.
One of the best books I've come across. An incredible experience enriched by the narration of the Author himself.
"Wow, what a story!"
I loved this book it gave a new insight into the troubles of Afghanistan, brutal in parts, made me flinch but for all that a great tale of love, betrayal & consequence. Didn't want it to end & the author Khaled Hosseini was a brilliant narrator!

On June 19 the Government of Russia approved the allocation of 273.31 mln RUR of budgetary provisions in 2014, to provide intergovernmental financial transfers to the Crimean budget, to compensation the costs incurred by agricultural commodity producers of the region.
In particular, the reporting costs appeared in connection with termination of water supply through the North Crimean Canal for irrigation of agricultural crops planted areas, and planting of perennial plantings.

ST. PAUL, MINN. — Net income at CHS Inc. fell 30% to $242,186,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 ended Nov. 30, 2013, down from $343,707,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and compared with $416,208,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Revenues also fell, declining 6% to $11,026,121,000 from $11,709,938,000. CHS said the sales decline reflected lower average selling prices for grains and oilseeds.
The company's Ag Business segment, which consists of CHS's agronomy, grain marketing and retail operations, posted operating earnings of $125,257,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, up 2% from $122,639,000 in the same period a year ago. Sales in the segment totaled $7,488,088,000, down 12% from $8,501,741,000 a year ago.
"Grain revenues in our Ag segment totaled $5.6 billion and $6.5 billion during the three months ended Nov. 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively," CHS said in a Jan. 8 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. "Of the grain revenues decrease of $0.9 billion (14%), $1.3 billion is due to decreased average grain selling prices, partially offset by a $413.4 million increase due to a 6% net increase in volumes, during the three months ended Nov. 30, 2013, compared to the same period of the previous year. The average sales price of all grain and oilseed commodities sold reflected a decrease of $2.13 per bus (19%) over the three months ended Nov. 30, 2012. Wheat and soybeans had increased volumes, while corn had decreased volumes compared to the three months ended Nov. 30, 2012.
"Our processing and food ingredients revenues in our Ag segment of $478.0 million decreased $2.6 million (1%) during the three months ended Nov. 30, 2013, compared to the three months ended Nov. 30, 2012. The net decrease in revenues is comprised of $9.2 million from a decrease in the average selling price of our oilseed products, partially offset by a net increase of $6.6 million related to increased volumes, as compared to the three months ended Nov. 30, 2012. Typically, changes in average selling prices of oilseed products are primarily driven by the average market prices of soybeans."
The company's share of earnings from its 50% ownership of Ventura Foods, L.L.C., a vegetable oil-based food manufacturing business, improved, as did those from its 24% CHS share of Horizon Milling, L.L.C., a wheat miller.

Universal Friends
The Case:
A History Detectives fan from Maine has inherited a most unusual document.
The yellow, three-page record dates 1791 and reads, "Act of Incorporation of the Universal Friends." This document has been handed down through the family for over two centuries.
The Universal Friends were an early, controversial religious group with a woman leader named Jemima Wilkinson, the first religion founded by an American born woman.
Our contributor wants to know what this document means. And was Jemima Wilkinson behind it?
History Detectives unravels the mysteries of this short-lived religious community and visits a 200-year-old graveyard where there is a striking connection to the owner of this document.

The late Steve Jobs was a master presenter. Part of what made him so good was the simplicity of his Keynote presentations. Here are 10 Presentation Design Tips from Envato that can help you create a more compelling presentation.
My two pet peeves: Color and repetitive obviousness.
Bad color combinations can absolutely destroy an otherwise good presentation. It's easy to use a decent color palette, but a unique and bold color combination can really make your presentation memorable.
Repeating the obvious drives me batshit crazy. Please, for the love of God, don't place your logo in the corner of every slide! And if you're pitching company X for their business, don't put their logo on every slide either—they know who they are, and they probably remember who you are since you probably just told them on slide one.
InkyDeals has offered-up more than 50 delicious designer fonts, completely free to download. All are high-quality, handcrafted display fonts in OpenType or TrueType (or both). They're perfect for website, brochure and ad headlines, logos, and presentations.
They're only available for a short time, so download the fonts now.
Sometimes you want to view only a single layer in a multi-layer PSD file. Rather than clicking multiple layer view icons (the little Eye next to the layer preview and name), you can speed up the process by Option+Clicking the one layer view icon you want to view. The other layers will turn off. To turn them all back on, Option+Click the layer view icon again.
It seems like every time I do a Keynote presentation for a client, they're looking to use a logo or two of other companies for examples. Of course just grabbing the logo off that company's website rarely works out well. Thankfully, there are a few sites out there that make it easy to grab a nice, clean, vector version of the logo.
I recently came across another site called Instant Logo Search. They have thousands of logos, all searchable, and all available in SVG (vector) format—as well as PNG, if that's all you need.
Time Machine, Apple's built-in file backup and recovery tool, is awesome… eventually. I say that because it's sloooooowww. You can quickly speed-up Time Machine's backup process by typing the following in the Terminal:
sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0
Type in your password and hit return and you're good-to-go.
Unfortunately, this trick won't hold through a restart. To do that, you can follow Mac Kung Fu's advice on how to permanently speed-up Time Machine.

QUESTION:I have heard that some lupine varieties are quite poisonous to dogs, others are not. Do you know if it's safe for my dogs if I plant and encourage Lupinus perennis in my NH meadow?
Take a look at this previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer about the toxicity of Lupinus species for cattle.
Here's what was said about the sundial lupine… Lupinus perennis (listed as toxic by the Poisonous Plants of Pennsylvania database) is the only member of the genus specifically designated as poisonous. Poisonous Plants of North Carolina lists all Lupinus species as toxic if large quantities of seeds are eaten.
An internet search also revealed issues with ruminants and lupines (specifically with goats (all parts of the plant are poisonous, especially pods with seeds) and cattle grazing.
There is more information about the toxicity of Lupinus perennis on the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center website… Warning: Plants in the genus Lupinus, especially the seeds, can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested. POISONOUS PARTS: Seeds. Toxic only if eaten in large quantities. Symptoms include respiratory depression and slow heartbeat, sleepiness, convulsions. Toxic Principle: Alkaloids such as lupinine, anagyrine, sparteine, and hydroxylupanine. (Poisonous Plants of N.C.)
After reviewing all this information, there is certainly the possibility that this lupine could cause illness or death, particularly if your dog is prone to grazing on plants. Lupinus perennis is a beautiful plant, is a valuable plant for wildlife and makes a wonderful meadow, but you will have to make the final decision about its compatibility for your dog.

Jeev, Chowrasia likely to make early exit at Irish Open
Kildare (Ireland): Jeev Milkha Singh and SSP Chowrasia are sure to miss the cut after carding 75 and 73 in the first two rounds of the Irish Open at Carton House on Friday.
The Indian pair was way down at four-over for 36 holes, where the cut looked likely at even par.
At the top of the leaderboard, where Peter Uihlein and Robert Rock shared the clubhouse lead midway through the second round at Carton House.
Uihlein has been in good form after winning his first European Tour event at the Madeira Islands Open last month, while Rock had missed six cuts in nine tournaments since finishing tied for seventh in Dubai.
American Uihlein, a former US Amateur Champion, had five birdies and a single bogey in his second round 68 to reach nine under par.
England`s Rock saw off Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship last year, and returned to that sort of form with four birdies and eagle at the long fourth in his 66.
Overnight leader Oscar Floren was in a tie for third, the Swede signing for a 71 to sit alongside former Ryder Cup captain Jos Mar a Olaz bal, Dutchman Joost Luiten and Portugal`s Ricardo Santos on seven under.

In the UK, most of Europe, Africa, Australia, Southern South America, most of Asia, and Russia, the frequency of the alternating current in household electrical outlets is 50 Hz In North America and Northern South America, the frequency of the alternating current in household electrical outlets is 60 Hz Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The sine wave measurement shown in AC electrical systems is measured per second – and refereed to as Hertz (Hz) – so 100Hz means 100 waves per second.
Why is 60Hz frequency used in America instead of the 50Hz used in most of the world?
The use of 50 versus 60 Hz is purely due to historical reasons, with companies in the US making 60 Hz equipment and those in Europe making 50Hz equipment so that they have a monopoly. This rivalry led to the split you see today.
Many different power frequencies were used in the 19th century throughout the world. Very early isolated AC generating schemes used arbitrary frequencies based on convenience for
in 1890 Westinghouse considered that existing arc-lighting equipment operated slightly better on 60 Hz. in 1895 had a unique 87 Hz single-phase distribution system that was in use until 1906. Westinghouse Electric decided to standardize on a lower frequency to permit operation of both electric lighting and induction motors on the same generating system. Frequencies much below 50 Hz gave noticeable flicker of arc or incandescent lighting. Frequency Standardization In the early days of electrification. England. a standard frequency of 50 Hz was declared as early as 1904. Frequencies between 16⅔ Hz and 133⅓ Hz were used on different systems. and quite a few entertaining urban legends. built a generating project at Mill Creek. the city of Coventry. It wasn't until after World War II with the advent of affordable electrical consumer goods that more uniform standards were enacted. The German company AEG (descended from a company founded by Edison in Germany) built the first German generating facility to run at 50 Hz. The implementation of the National Grid starting in 1926 compelled . but significant development continued at other frequencies. which was affiliated with AEG in Germany. AEG had a virtual monopoly and their standard spread to the rest of Europe. giving a frequency of 133 cycles per second. The operation of Tesla's induction motor required a lower frequency than the 133 Hz common for lighting systems in 1890. allegedly because 60 was not a preferred number. Although 50 Hz was suitable for both. there is little certitude in the details of the history of 60 Hz vs. but changed to 60 Hz a year later to maintain market share with the Westinghouse standard. At the time. In 1893 General Electric Corporation. AEG's choice of 50 Hz is thought by some to relate to a more "metric-friendly" number than 60. Much later. AEG raised their standard frequency to 50 Hz in 1891. Standardization allowed international trade in electrical equipment. so many frequencies were used that no one value prevailed (London in 1918 had 10 different frequencies). After observing flicker of lamps operated by the 40 Hz power transmitted by the Lauffen-Frankfurt link in 1891. 50 Hz. and so that frequency was chosen. California using 50 Hz. In the early incandescent lighting period. As the 20th century continued.steam engine. single-phase AC was common and typical generators were 8-pole machines operated at 2000 RPM. the use of standard frequencies allowed interconnection of power grids. For example. In Britain. Though many theories exist. more power was produced at 60 Hz (North America) or 50 Hz (Europe and most of Asia). water turbine and electrical generator design. The proliferation of frequencies grew out of the rapid development of electrical machines in the period 1880 through 1900.
Remnant installations at other frequencies persisted until well after the Second World War.the standardization of frequencies among the many interconnected electrical service providers. In the US. and General Electric in 1896.000 volts in 1914. and dropped it from the 1914 edition of the standard. these are Shin Shinano. The German VDE in the first standard for electrical machines and transformers in 1902 recommended 25 Hz and 50 Hz as standard frequencies. European manufacturers had mostly standardized on 50 Hz for new installations.10% in all countries. . and the Higashi-Shimizu Frequency Converter. Minami-Fukumitsu. In Mexico. Southern California Edison had standardized on 50 Hz. Some projects by the Au Sable Electric Company used 30 Hz at transmission voltages up to 110. The 50 Hz standard was completely established only after World War II. The boundary between the two regions contains four back-to-back HVDC substations which convert the frequency. areas operating on 50 Hz grid were converted during the 1970s. the western part of the country (Kyoto and west) uses 60 Hz and the eastern part (Tokyo and east) uses 50 Hz. VDE did not see much application of 25 Hz. Now in current European Union the frequency is 50Hz throughout (and the voltage within the EU have been adjusted to attain an average of 230V +/. This originates in the first purchases of generators from AEG in 1895. Much of Southern California operated on 50 Hz and did not completely change frequency of their generators and customer equipment to 60 Hz until around 1948. By about 1900.

After games ending Saturday, Jan. 7
So long as Chester stays unbeaten, the Clippers will stay on top of our POWERADE Pennsylvania Weekly Rankings. But that won't be an easy task. And it'll be interesting to see how some of the other teams in the rankings respond in the coming weeks. Neumann-Goretti, which held tough against the nation's No. 5 team in the POWERADE FAB 50 last week, is ready to dive in to its local slate of games. Friends' Central has a very difficult schedule upcoming but is playing well at the right time. And several unbeaten teams remain, meaning it's going to get awfully crowded at the top moving forward.
1. Chester (10-0) Last week: No. 1
2. Neumann-Goretti (8-2) Last week: No. 2
3. Friends' Central (9-1) Last week: No. 3

New "Coalition to Save Our GPS" Members Include the International Air Transport Association, National Business Aviation Association, the Regional Airline Association and Metropolitan Washington Airport Authorities
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The "Coalition to Save Our GPS" announced today that its membership has more than doubled in two weeks. In turn, more than 30,000 companies are represented in the Coalition through their trade associations.
New members representing a variety of concerned industries including aviation, transportation, technology, shipping, and consumer manufacturers are concerned about a serious threat to the Global Positioning System (GPS) - a national utility upon which millions of Americans rely every day.
"GPS now provides smaller airports with equivalent levels of safety to those serving large commercial airlines," said National Business Aviation Association Senior Vice President for Operations and Administration, Steve Brown. "But unlike carrier airports there are no alternate sources of landing guidance if the GPS experiences interference of any kind. The continued protection of satellite navigation is imperative to safety of flight."
The threat stems from a recent highly unusual decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to grant a conditional waiver allowing the dramatic expansion of terrestrial use of the satellite spectrum immediately neighboring that of GPS, potentially causing severe interference to millions of GPS receivers. The conditional waiver was granted to a company called LightSquared. For more information, please see the Coalition's site, www.SaveOurGPS.org.
New members include: American Car Rental Association, American Congress of Surveying and Mapping, American Council of Engineering Companies, Avidyne Corporation, Equipped to Survive Foundation, Hemisphere GPS, International Air Transport Association, National Business Aviation Association, Networkfleet, Payment Assurance Technology Association, PocketGPSWorld.com Ltd., Regional Airline Association, TomTom, Topcon, and UPS.
The new aviation-related members announced today join three important aviation groups that are initial members: the Air Transport Association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association.
Other initial members are the Aeronautical Repair Stations Association, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, American Rental Association, Associated Equipment Distributors, Association of Equipment Manufacturers, Case New Holland, Caterpillar Inc., Edison Electric Institute, Esri, Garmin, Deere & Company, National Association of Manufacturers, OmniSTAR, and Trimble.
The unusual waiver granted in January to LightSquared by the FCC allows it to use its satellite spectrum for high-powered ground-based broadband transmissions if the company can demonstrate that harmful interference could be avoided. The usual FCC process of conducting extensive testing followed by approvals was not followed in this instance. Instead, the process was approve first, then test. Additional safeguards are needed, so the Coalition recommends:
- The FCC must make clear, and the NTIA must ensure, that LightSquared's license modification is contingent on the outcome of the mandated study. The study must be comprehensive, objective, and based on correct assumptions about existing GPS uses rather than theoretical possibilities. The views of LightSquared, as an interested party, are entitled to no special weight in this process.
- The FCC should make clear that LightSquared and their investors should not proceed to make any investment in operating facilities prior to a final FCC decision (or at least make it explicit that they do so at their own risk). While this is the FCC's established policy, it failed to make this explicit in its order.
- Further, the FCC's, and NTIA's, finding that "harmful interference concerns have been resolved" must mean "resolved to the satisfaction of preexisting GPS providers and users."
- Resolution of interference has to be the obligation of LightSquared, not the extensive GPS user community of millions of citizens. LightSquared must bear the costs of preventing interference of any kind resulting from operations on LightSquared's frequencies. GPS users or providers should not have to bear any of the consequences of LightSquared's actions.
- This is a matter of critical national interest. There must be a reasonable opportunity for public comment of at least 45 days on the report produced by the working group and further FCC actions on the LightSquared modification order should take place with the approval of a majority of the FCC commissioners, not at the bureau level.
About the Coalition
The "Coalition to Save Our GPS" is working to resolve a serious threat to the Global Positioning System. The FCC granted a highly unusual conditional waiver for a proposal to build 40,000 ground stations that could cause widespread interference with GPS signals - endangering a national utility which millions of Americans rely on every day.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
