Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a 17 year computer professional and had just had a major failure of my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 128GB, and the Microsoft store wanted to charge me $800 to replace the failed SSD. I had only got about 72 hours of actual runtime out of the thing, since I prefer to do most of my work on my desktop. The ASUS Transformer Mini is an AWESOME deal for the price and performance. That being said, here is what you will NEED to do once you unbox it and boot it up: The Windows Update process takes a few hours. You must let it complete this. It is worth the wait. Second, once the updates are done and you've signed in, don't immediately enroll your fingerprints. Your profile will be erased once you update the drivers. Updating the drivers should be done as follows: Open Device manager, and immediately check for driver updates to firmware. It's important that you do this FIRST. The driver will automatically download and ask you to reboot. Then let it get back into Windows, and update the following drivers: Display driver, Audio, fingerprint sensor. If you do not do what I said the system is a bit laggy. But after all of these updates are done, this is a really great machine with very nice features for the price. Easily comparable to an MS Surface. The audio quality is quite nice, the screen is responsive and bright, and the keyboard (which would run you an EXTRA $100 if you went with a MS Surface) is included. The pen takes an AAAA battery, which may be hard to find. Other than that, I highly recommend this product.
