What you get for your money

+ Low weight 1.1kg
+ Good haptics (with me no sharp edges, etc., has no keyboard Logitech quality, but satisfies a prolific writer for all everyday tasks)
+ I have the variant blue, I like it as it is
+ Price / Performance I find great
+ The touch screen can be easily operated and
+ The device has a good focus, so that it does not tilt the same when using the screen.

o Yes, it is Windows 8! With all the flaws and weaknesses. I knew what I get and that's good for my purposes.
o Office 2013 in the parcel. That would actually be a plus. But the first impression, including the cloud / online spoon-feeding leads to a devaluation. Again, that's ok with my purpose
o Does the organization of the unit lasted about 8 hours (Win all updates), while the unit werkelte most of the time for themselves.
NB: For Win8 and O 13 Asus can not. If I do not want to have, I throw it down and take Ubuntu + Open Office, then I have a good netbook for the price.

- The hard disk is clearly and permanently audible. I only Silent devices, so that would be really a KO criterion but ... exactly: for my purpose)
- The input for the power cord is placed between the USB port and the HDMI port. So Optional is a hidden! Anyone planning something heard ... Because not even serve my purpose, as an excuse.

So, I forgive trotzallem 5 stars because I can get over all the disadvantages at this price. I want more of a netbook, laptop, ultrabook I need at least 300, - put it.

For me, definitely worth buying! There are the long-term effect here a supplement in half a year. For over an hour I have not tested the device (in actual use).

A good, half a year later, the Addendum: So I can complain in any way about the Mini. It is mainly used for all work in the field of word processing and text editing, incl. Incorporation of images. He is a OnTheRoad device (here 2 times already fallen down) and survives these transports and changing fields of application without problem. MP4 videos can be sure to play perfectly. The use of the Internet is rare. Simultaneous use: write a text and paint on a Win8 app a picture to Fct. in flowing change.
So: 5 Star Further, at least for my purpose)
