I would like to know if it has any card slots (especially to make use of ReadyBoost) and if it has an HDMI port.

Hmmm. I have an Asus Laptop and love it. This company puts out good products. However, to compete, they will need other manufacturers and Microsoft to jump on board.

I had an Asus PC for about three months. It was in for repairs twice. The darn on/off button had a design flaw and would get hung up inside the PC tower.

I got a credit from Best Buy, dumped it and went back to Dell.

If I feel the urge someday to buy a tablet, I’ll get an ipad.

Yeah, it might even be better, but will it be as tragically hip?

Asus makes good motherboards and video cards.

Very, very, very original design.

I have a Asus netbook, which when I ordered it was hands down the best alue and features available.

Expect them to do it well, correcting and improving very rapidly.

If Asus was building the Chevy Volt it would have been out by now.

It looks like it has a USB port which Ipad doesn’t.

I have an Asus EEE which absolutely rocks. Best PC value for the dollar I have ever come across.

I'd give this tablet a serious look, but would only buy if it really has a UI that works for touch input.

The touch UI of the iPad is what really separates it from the rest of the market so far....although the iPad itself is so crippled in other ways that I would not consider buying one.

It's about a year out. The copy machines are running a tad slow these days.

Tablets used to be fat, detachable or fold-back notebook screens, or look something like this:

Now all the upcoming tablet designs seem vaguely familiar....
