Eee PC models weren't fast, they weren't particularly well-featured, and they didn't have the best displays. Even so, these lightweight boxes were the harbingers of the netbook bonanza that kicked off in earnest with the launch of Intel's Atom processor codename: Silverthorne.

The overall look is more Walmart than boutique computer store. Looks aren't everything, especially if you're looking for value and can't afford those quite expensive higher end Windows convertibles. The tablet and dock feel solid and I wouldn't expect them to fall apart any time soon. The keyboard dock hinge is stiff and robustly designed. You can flex the dock a little if you try, but it's nothing alarming.
The tablet's display is mounted flush with no gaps or problems and the volume and power buttons don't rattle. While everything is put together well enough and things feel sturdy, we do worry about Asus' sometimes notoriously weak quality control. Our tablet's micro SD card slot only read cards one out of every 10 insertions we tried several cards. Our keyboard dock was defective and while the USB 3. The trackpad generally worked but sometimes it would stop registering tap to click, which was quite annoying since the trackpad's physical clicker is extremely loud.
We noticed our local store's demo model had a few keyboard quirks too--either they got a bad batch or this is a more widespread problem. Since the tablet is just now shipping, we'll await anecdotal stories from other buyers to see how their model fares. We're working on getting a replacement, but inventory is sparse as of this writing. An IPS display on a budget tablet! You don't have to go blind slowly just because you bought an inexpensive tablet.

The x resolution seems well matched to the relatively small Again, this is a value product, so you won't get full HD displays, backlit keyboards or other high end amenities.
Reasonable enough. Asus did a wonderful job with the keyboard: key travel is generous for a small and thin product and the keys are roomy There's the challenge: a That's why Microsoft made their Surface tablets If you tried early Even for my long, slim fingers, it's a bit trying to write an article on the T's keyboard. It's a good keyboard for occasional typists but not those who write long emails, articles or other pieces. The small trackpad isn't very good. It's really small and it often loses track of a finger as you're gliding along the trackpad.
Asus could likely remedy this with a driver update, though software won't improve the size issue or make the extremely loud clicker quiet.
