I picked up this model last year. I've needed it to be swapped by JB HiFi once, which they did no problem. The WiFi chip failed in the device, which is why I needed it to be swapped. Since replacement I've had no issues. It works really well. I think the battery is very decent when you consider how power hungry it would be. Mine gets used for everything.
