The hardware

You can see specs on the Google site as well as Samsung site.

In short it's about 12" based on Exynos 5 SoC. It has somewhat passable 1366x768 (quite odd aspect) LED screen, some eMMC for storage, USB2, USB3, HDMI, SDXC, audio connectors. The SATA of the SoC is sadly unused. Keyboard is very limited and touchpad comes with those odd buttons which are actiavated by depressing the whole thing at the near edge. For connectivity you get WiFi and optional 3G. USB Ethernet is supported (eg. Axago, Apple adaptors worked for me).
