Bad Refurb

Wasn't keeping correct time. Sent to ASUS for warranty, and was told it had a bad MB. Never dropped or anything. Wanted $200.00 for repair. Had then send it back and it wouldn't even boot anymore. Never did get an answer from them as to why. It worked...

Issues with this unit and also ASUS

Look to the net for customer complaints, I would also look at the BBB as other customers have nothing but issues with this unit and dealing with the manufacturer. Best of luck if you purchases. I would save your money for something that will work...

Not for the clumsy

Works well, mostly used for note taking and video watching, never had any issues

My only complaint is that the digitizer is hard to find. If you're the clumsy airheaded type that always breaks their shiny new toys (The hat fits, I'll wear it), you may want to make sure you get a tablet who's digitizers and screens are readily...

Windows 8, touchscreen iffy at best, not nearly enough power

Steal of a Deal

Arrived in a plain brown box, just the tablet and charger. Not an issue for me as I grabbed the owners manual PDF online. Plugged in, charged up, updated itself with a minor (and well known) App Store glitch. Runs fast, great hardware and with my...

Affordable, plenty of memory, plenty of performance

Having to use Windows 8.1, no extra goodies
