Yours is probably doing updates in the background, problem is it doesn't really communicate what it's doing so it does leave you wondering at times.
Bottom line for me, nothing is perfect but the compromises of Windows are less serious to me.
To be honest if I could have afforded it iI may have been tempted to try a mac book with retina display, as you can run Windows on it as well but far too expensive for me.”

The only thing that will be doing updates in the back ground is the AV, I do not allow windows or any software to update without me knowing.
it been pretty good this morning, on Windows at the moment and the drive light is not flashing at all, now I am worried

The problem I have with tablet is the screen is still too small even at 7 inch, still a lot of pinching and scrolling and some sites just don't work at all well.
Macs are nice machines, if a little over priced, what you are getting is still a normal PC, but with a different OS, ok the may be produced to better standards than most PC machines, but still over priced.
If you want to try something different have a look at linux.
