    Hey guys,

    I bought an Asus UX32VD ultrabook and should be receiving it soon. I am aware that build quality can be unreliable/inconsistent, and that some people have received perfect models, while others have certain problems, ranging from light bleed on the screen, to unresponsive keys. When I receive it I want to make sure that everything is perfect / at least very decent. So apart from the two things have I already mentioned, what other general problems are there? Also, for each problem, could you recommend a piece of freeware that I can use to check whether the one I have bought has it?

    Thanks! :)
