    A 10" convertible tablet with a keyboard dock included in the price, with SSD storage, full Windows 8.1 (not Windows RT), plus microSD-expandable storage and an 11-hour battery life, all for $349? And it even looks attractive. This is going to be a MASSIVE success. If my kids were old enough to have their own laptops/tablets for school, this would be #1 on my radar, no question about it.

    I mean, come on, this is only $20 more expensive than an iPad Mini, and it can fill the role of both tablet and laptop for your average student.

    Yeah, the specs for the price are unbelievable, and if there's one company that knows how to execute an entry-level subnotebook properly, it's Asus. I'm pretty convinced that this is going to be HUGE--both for Asus and for the Windows convertible tablet market as a whole.
