SETUP:
OMG soooooooo easy! Take it out of the box, plug in the brick, turn it on, hit the connect button on the wireless keyboard AND mouse and you are "up and running".

APPEARENCE:
I was very torn between this unit and the MSI Wind AE2200-25SUS ($899.00). I was able to go to the local Office Depot and look at a lower end model of the MSI Wind. It was the exact same model but was lacking a slew of great features the high end model was equipped with. (The 25SUS is same as this EXCEPT it had a TV tuner AND a remote control) . Everything about the MSI wind was GREAT, EXCEPT the display. There was just a dullness to it i could not change, despite playing with ever single setting in the store. Display is a dealbreaker for me, so i came back to the ASUS website and was excited to see the day i ordered it, it had gone down from $1199.00 to $1117.00 PLUS the $200.00 Rebate, making it only about 30 some-odd dollars different than the MSI, and up close & personal, this unit wins "hands down" in build quality and styling. The plastic mishapen bezel around the MSI was kind of funky, and their keyboard was AWFUL compared to this one.

SOUND: Fantastic!

TOUCHSCREEN: 100% Responsive and sooooo much fun. There is even stylus that rests neatly in the keyboard and that works wonderful if you have "fat fingers"! There is also a prompt that hides itself close to the edge of the screen but is always "ready" if you select it for an "on screen keyboard". Very convenient.

KEYBOARD & MOUSE: Keyboard feel is so nice, in the picture it looked chintzy to me, but it is sooooooo NOT cheap! The mouse is also GREAT, clicks like butter, very soft and silent, love it!

WEI SCORE: 5.7, 5.7, 4.1,(aero) 5.7, 5.9 Overall score 4.1

RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 Beautiful crystal clear fonts, and all your icons have extreme clarity

SPEED: Seems very fast, all windows open quickly and without hesitation

OVERALL IMPRESSION: Awesome unit, the convenience of "all in one", no wires is so nice, ASUS is a great manufacturer of computers, before a few weeks ago i had never heard of them, and now i not only have their desktop All In One but i bought a laptop ASUS Laptop with a lighted keyboad and mouse pad (soooo cool) a few weeks ago, and i know i could neverown any computer but an ASUS ever again!

I'm drawing a blank on what else ppl might want to know about this All In One, but if you have any questions about it, please feel free to leave a comment, i'm following this post so i'll probably be able to answer u pretty quick.

Thanks,

Dumm

I got this as a laptop replacement for my father. He wanted a bigger screen than a laptop, but something that wouldn't take up as much space as a standard desktop. I'm a big fan of Asus - originally with their motherboards and more recently with their laptops (my wife and I both have one). The design of the device makes Apple look like the ugly stepchild, which to me is quite an achievement. Asus took the design very seriously, which is unusual in Windows computers. I upgraded the OS from Win 7 Home to Win 7 Ultimate, but left all of the other default items the same. At the time that this was purchased it was the only EEE Top model that had a 64-bit chip and a 7200 RPM hard drive.

My father has had one recurring problem that I have tried to help him fix. In searching for a solution, I see that this is actually a problem with Asus products going back several years and with different models. On a regular basis his keyboard will miss the first keystroke when he begins typing. He first noticed this because it was always taking him at least two tries to log in to Windows. We removed the Windows password to get around this problem and it still occurs during normal Windows usage. For example, if he is composing an email and the address is bob@test.com only ob@test.com will show up when he's done typing. This is a small problem that can probably be remedied by replacing the keyboard, but the keyboard has a great design and is wireless, so it seems a real shame to have to replace it. I noticed on the Asus support site that there is a BIOS update from 2/2010 that addresses this problem with wired keyboards, but doesn't mention wireless keyboards. I'm going to check my dad's computer's BIOS version and update it if it is behind just to see if that helps.

Overall, I still would rank this computer as a 5 and so would the end-user, my dad. He is thrilled with everything about the computer with this one small annoyance. I'd still recommend this computer and brand to anyone, but didn't feel I'd be giving an honest review if I didn't describe the one problem that exists.

If you're interested in seeing what other Asus users have tried to fix this similar problem on other models (mostly the M50SV), you can see it on this website (assuming that Amazon doesn't remove the link). [...]

Hello just wanted to know will this computer work in Australia I mean with power requirements we use AC 220v to 240v. Any help would be great. [...]
