Overall a very nice product... great industrial design, nice implementation. On the downside I found the product to be a little buggy in certain areas. The touchscreen keyboard is a little challenging to use, and the Asus interface is not as intuitive as I'd like. If you're willing to use the regular keyboard from time to time it's probably not bad, but I really wanted a full touch screen experience.

Close... but not exactly what I was hoping for. I returned the product after a week.

I had such high hopes! I heard this was a great learning computer, which is why I purchased...to teach somebody to learn a PC. But sadly this machine is so unbelievably SLOW, I had to return it. When I contacted ASUS for help, they never once tried to help on my call, and twice told me they would have a tech call me back, but they never did. It is a slick, nice looking machine and has a really nice compact (mac-looking) keyboard. Every other computer on my connection was 1000% faster, including a 10-year old laptop with much less RAM, hard drive, etc. This thing had the slowest speed I've ever encountered in a computer. I realize it is a glorified netbook, but connecting, browing, loading, downloading, setup, etc. was unbearably slow and mostly useless. After 2 hours of downloading antivirus software, it refused to complete the setup. It timed out time and again. It disconnected install over and over even after disabling all firewalls and allowing all connections. After 4 days of trying, I gave up. ASUS no help and the speed ridiculously slow. Amazon.com took hours to load. Perhaps I just got a dud, but my experience with this was awful. Sadly. I had high hope. It is nice looking product and seems like it would be a great learning PC, if it only performed. But it did not.

XP? and the specs of this machine were top of the line 12 years ago. This is just an old spec computer that cannot handle the promgrams of today with a new design. Don't be fooled. Go for a HP touch smart or better yet, the best an Imac.
