ASUS deserves its reputation, it is a great product, well finished with excellent features for its price.
The overlay software is not annoying like some other manufacturers (and it is very easy to pull off). The first boot is quite slow, but once well optimized tablet responds very well to a "conventional" use (Web / Reading, Movies and little games).
The touchscreen responds very satisfactorily (admittedly not the iPad or Galaxy Note 10.1). The contrast of the slab is quite good and very nice visual rendering, the density pixels / inch is sufficient to read a very comfortable way. However, the panel seems to be prone to glare but not excessive either.
To buy eyes closed for a familiar and normal use;)
