Amazing extra features / low price!

LOVE it because it has TWO USB 3.0 ports AND HDMI AND an SD card slot. In some ways it's better than my $700 laptop. I store movies and music on an SD card and use the USB ports for everything else. I hooked up HDMI once and didn't bother with it for long, but it looks like it's a laptop. You can set an external display as primary, secondary, or clone them. Using apps from the Google Play Store means you can work with PowerPoint, Word and more, even if it's not a laptop. The battery lasts a long time as others have said. Screen: many settings that can be tweaked according to your preferences. It's an 11.6-inch screen with a maximum resolution of 1518 x 953, but if you want the words to be bigger you can drop the resolution down to 911 x 512. Many web designers expect your screen to be at least 600 pixels high, and if you select the 911 x 512 mode, you'll need to scroll down with two fingers to see a typical home page login screen. So set up your device the way you want your apps to look, and then set up your browser the way you want your web pages to look. In Chrome it's CTRL with + or - (or use the settings). If you're used to a tablet or phone, there's no need to zoom in or out. This can be done as above, with settings either on the device or in the web browser. Keyboard: I find it comfortable and responsive. Nice touch and not loud. It's a bit difficult to see the blue letters on the black keys at night, but since there are TWO USB ports, I can buy a small USB flashlight for on the go. for personal use or of course you can use a headset. Internet: With 2 GHz and 5 GHz, you can connect almost anywhere. I had problems with my old tablet and phone when Google hired me to work for them because they are out of the 2GHz band, so this flexible baby solves that problem. ASUS: I've been using your products for years. They are reliable and responsive. There was a month. As long as I like it when it changes I will update. :)

Pros
