same here. i'm hooked to a proper pen.

however, asus gives me mixed reaction. having owned 1st gen transformer... really love it. nothing to complain. but after that, had padfone2... and scary experience -- having to go Customer Service, wait, and then see so many bugs... no doubt back then, asus was fast with firmware updates, but still... its no fun having a buggy main device.

but otherwise, this is cheap and looks like a decent deal.

i was at Digital Mall PJ. saw some demo units.

played around with it. wow... it feels very much like a note (i'm a Note 2 user). there's even pen hovering function (looks like they use wacom screen tech?!?)...

scrolling was smooth. din really feel any lag. 6" isn't as uncomfortable as i would have expected.

din try games and photos.

but ya, had to agree with forgot_86. we played a sample video that was in the phone and maxed the volume. could not really hear anything. it's bad for a phone with 2 front facing speakers.

since you got yourself a unit. if you have the time, can try and test out the following games (just curious to know how it does):
* Destroy Gunner SP (alpha) @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....DGunsSPF&hl=en
* Asphalt 8 @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....ANMP.GloftA8HM (it's now free)
* Fifa 14: @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ifa14_row&hl=en
and maybe CSR Racing too @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...otion.csrracing

these are considered the graphic intensive games. do let us know how it performs.

soft button is the way to go. i prefer soft buttons.

never mind... got confused by the Asus products.
