Introduction
It's been six years since Asus launched the first Eee PC and kicked off a miniature revolution in mobile computing. Eee PC models weren't fast, they weren't particularly well-featured, and they didn't have the best displays. Even so, these lightweight boxes were the harbingers of the netbook bonanza that kicked off in earnest with the launch of Intel's Atom processor (codename: Silverthorne).

That's the formal list of specifications. Now, let's talk about look and feel. At 2.4 lbs total (evenly divided between tablet and dock), the system is extremely light. The system has no problem balancing when the two halves are connected, but the tablet is light enough to feel comfortable in the hand. ASUS seems to have done a good job finding a nice balance between the weight, materials, and textures.
