Upgrade to Win 8 pro went smoothly. Didn't have too much garbage to uninstall prior to using (although, there is always some). Windows 8 is performing fine in an enterprise environment (70-person domain). This comp, in conjunction with Win 8, found all printers without downloading drivers, which was nice. Laptop boots fast and the touchscreen works well.
Two negatives: the touchscreen adds a little weight and thickness; the battery appears to be built in (non-removable).
NB:
Laptop is good, boots up very fast. Screen response to touch is excellent. Keyboard is not the best, but its not too bad either. Had initial hiccup with HD streaming videos being choppy (on both Netflix and YouTube). Removed Asus Power4Gear battery saver software, and now everything runs perfectly fine (This program throttled the CPU to conserve battery, the lower CPU speed caused HD streaming to be choppy). Also McAfee antivirus is unnecessary. I miss the dedicated volume keys, wish there was a function lock key.

I had read a lot of positive reviews so after some intensive research and talking to some sales reps at Best Buy I decided to buy this ultrabook by Asus. It's my first hours of usage, but I am simply impressed. This ultrabook is beautiful, unbelievably light, very fast even with the installed 4Gb RAM (such that I'm thinking of sending back the additional 4Gb RAM I ordered with this package) and the overall performance is just great.
The sound quality and graphics are perfect for me cause I'm a PhD student and don't need a heavy gaming thing. It doesn't get warm while charging. It's very quiet too. In addition, there are some horror stories here about the touch pad and the key board, both are just really good. The touch screen works great too.
Also what's wrong with you people? Windows 8 is no big deal to get used to. I really like the new interface. It's very modern and compatible with other devices we use in today's world.
All in all, I love this cute little thing and like it way more than the MacBook my friend got for 1500 something. Enjoy this and keep your money in your pocket, use the money somewhere else if you are tight on budget.
