I bought one last week from Amazon US.

So far, getting used to Windows 8.1 has been my only problem.

I use it as back up for my desktop and a travel companion for my coffee shop trips.

Its a good light, cheap way to do that.

I would not try to use it as a primary computer.

I have been using one now for a couple of months and very pleased with it. I am new to Windows 8 and getting used to the small screen. I also have a T300 transformer running Android and do not intend to replace my laptop which is past it's use by date. I disposed of my desktop long ago.

If not in a hurry, an option is to wait for the Micsrosoft Surface Pro 3, which seems quite impressive..

I had a T100, for over 18mts, the older model with Android OS. the on / off switch stopped working 10mts into warranty, the Phuket Asus main dealer who had done a minor repair under warranty before, he wanted the original invoice from Power buy at central, which was missing when I got the box back when it had been repaired, PowerBuy wouldn't give me a copy, when, I went back and shewed my credit card receipt with the date on it he said nothing, I reminded him that they had repaired it before, he Ausu agent didn't do anything. with no phone call for 6 weeks I went down again and they said it would cost Tb 12,000 to repair.

I checked on the internet and found that this is a common fault with Transformers, and can be fixed by a "Software" up date. which is an upgrade of the OS, not something I feel comfortable with. I tried ASUS in BKK they said they couldn't help when my Thai wife jumped in to explain what happened in Phuket.

I am going back home soon and will try to get it repaired there.

Currently I switch it on and off by closing the lid or running the power down.

I can only add that I am very disappointed with ASUS agents, I have also tried to get help from their customer services, all I ever got form being a VIP member was an auto answer.

Like you I feel the concept is great!, I use it mostly as a tablet, cos the keyboard not working very well and mouse isn't at all

I too wanted a Windows OS but they were not out in Thailand.

Sorry for the long post.

Good LUCK, you WILL need it in the LOS. if anything go's wrong...I will never buy a AUSU product again..
