What's the difference between that and a Windows Tablet (apart from the price)?

Capacitive touchscreen! I was pleasantly surprised, I thought it would be resistive. Almost all Windows Tablets have inductive digitizers, where you can only use a special stylus (like a Wacom), but you get angle/distance/pressure information.

Most new Tablet PCs also cost 6-10 times more, and have awful battery life because they are overpowered.

Besides it running on Linux not a whole lot. But its $200 that was the whole point.
