I've been using the Asus 701 for about 6 months. The two things it does for me is boot up really fast and travel light.
My Windows laptops take FOREVER to boot up. If I want a quick look at my email, the Asus is the one I use.
If I want to use a laptop at one of those tiny coffee house or Barnes & Noble tables, Asus is my choice.
The 800 pixel width screen should be OK for most websites, but isn't. A slightly wider screen would be better.
I don't touch type, so the keyboard is no more of a problem to me than any keyboard. I did buy a foldup keyboard for my wife to use since she does touch type.
In general, I'm moderately pleased.
