APPEARENCE:
I was very torn between this unit and the MSI Wind AE2200-25SUS ($899.00). I was able to go to the local Office Depot and look at a lower end model of the MSI Wind. It was the exact same model but was lacking a slew of great features the high end model was equipped with. (The 25SUS is same as this EXCEPT it had a TV tuner AND a remote control) . Everything about the MSI wind was GREAT, EXCEPT the display. There was just a dullness to it i could not change, despite playing with ever single setting in the store. Display is a dealbreaker for me, so i came back to the ASUS website and was excited to see the day i ordered it, it had gone down from $1199.00 to $1117.00 PLUS the $200.00 Rebate, making it only about 30 some-odd dollars different than the MSI, and up close & personal, this unit wins "hands down" in build quality and styling. The plastic mishapen bezel around the MSI was kind of funky, and their keyboard was AWFUL compared to this one.

SOUND: Fantastic!

TOUCHSCREEN: 100% Responsive and sooooo much fun. There is even stylus that rests neatly in the keyboard and that works wonderful if you have "fat fingers"! There is also a prompt that hides itself close to the edge of the screen but is always "ready" if you select it for an "on screen keyboard". Very convenient.

KEYBOARD & MOUSE: Keyboard feel is so nice, in the picture it looked chintzy to me, but it is sooooooo NOT cheap! The mouse is also GREAT, clicks like butter, very soft and silent, love it!
