This is probably the first review of this machine on the internet. There is nothing out there. I ended up taking the risk since I really like the spec and cant wait for Haswell.
Pro
Display: Once you use this screen, anything less than 1080 will bother you. A beautiful display
Keyboard: Nothing much to say here. Work great. Love the backlit
Trackpad: Ignore what people say about Asus trackpad. Maybe they fixed it with this version but I find it good. Not the best. I have MAcbook book and I think that is the gold standard. You can customize the gestures and it works well
Design: Beautiful. Solid Built. Feels durable
Windows 8: I upgraded to Win 8. No issues. Work great
Battery: I use it primarily for work. 6 hours is what I am clocking
Sound: I read about poor sound. Frankly, it's fine
Cons
Fan: I do hear the fan at times. I am coming from Macbook Air so I am used to practically no noise. Frankly I am probably being picky
Wifi: Once in a while it will take an extra second or two to connect once it comes off sleep mode. Once connected zero issues
All and all. I chose this over Acer Aspire S7 392 (tested it for a week). Performance wise both were close. Acer has the Battery advantage as it comes with Haswell and has touch. But I could not justify buying a white machine. Asus has a better trackpad. I think I am going to end up loving this machine.
