The box arrived from Amazon with a broken corner.  Fortunately the Asus original packaging inside was very well designed and the computer survived the shipping.  After powering up, I found the screen to be more vivid and sharper than my old Asus.  Everything seems to run faster and the touch screen is very responsive.  But I noticed that the display aspect ratios for some windows need adjustments to see the entire picture.  The lack of card reader slot is also inconvenient for offloading large amount of pictures from cameras.
