Pros: Been using this for the last 7 months. IT IS A BEAST. This is one purchase I have not regretted! Asus has been very good at releasing Android and system updates for this baby. I am always up to date, currently running 4.2 (no doubt I will get key lime when it is released) The processor (and RAM) in this things are fantastic. I really like being able to choose the power mode ie power saver, balanced, or performance. I mostly keep it on balanced to conserve power and it has no problem with whatever I throw on it. Build quality on this is fantastic, doesn't feel flimsy at all. I put a Zagg over the screen even though it is Gorilla glass, just to keep it nice :) Battery life on this tablet is phenomenal!! Even without the keyboard dock it will last a few days with intermittent use and always connected to wifi. It will last a full day with a little left over after heavy heavy use like watching movies or playing games. Use the keyboard dock with this and multiply the battery by ten!! ok not really ten but it makes the battery life so much better.
Cons: Occasional lag on the tablet after leaving it on for a week or two. I find that after quick reboot to empty out the RAM and caches it is operating normally. Not really a con. Only issue I have is with the proprietary power/USB connector. I hate the fact that I cannot use any of my 100 micro USB connectors to charge/plug into USB. And replacement or spare cables from Asus are NOT cheap! I'll still give it five stars tho because it is that AWESOME!
Overall Review: If you are buying this tablet you should get the keyboard dock at the same time. It has the built in secondary battery which just makes it all that much sweeter! I bought two of these and two of the docks. My girlfriend and I were looking for netbooks and decided to just go ahead and get tablets with the docks. It has worked out perfectly! We use these for play and for work. Polaris office does well for taking notes in college.
