Pros: Exceptionally fast, not much bloatware. Cascading problems aside, I still like it's potential, especially for the price.

Cons: Continual crashing; first of browsers, then OS, then drivers. In process of RMA with ASUS as of 12 Jan, after failed system recovery. Item does not come with recovery CDs. Expect to return to ASUS under manufacturer warranty, and will let them deal with it. Will post more later.

Overall Review: ASUS tech support has been rather good; I hope they pull through. Paying for shipping isn't much fun... oh well.
