Bought one and got it today. Screen is gray only. Can view with external monitor, but the built in display is broken. Contacted Asus and hope to get a new one. Let’s hope Asus’ customer support is adequate. Could contact woot, but that would just give me my money back.
Got mine today. Assume battery is DOA (won’t take/hold a charge). Works fine on wall-power. Wish I’d been quicker on the D600 deal that was up earlier in the day. I had one of those for work & loved it (wish they hadn’t “upgraded” me to the POS I have now).
Nearly two weeks in and this experience has certainly but Asus in the “DO NOT WANT” camp for me. Slow & poor offshore support, useless suggestions for “fixes” that indicate that the rep either did not read the problem description or ignored it and just parroted the key-word-flagged response from their Support Manual.
Only option now appears to be a full RMA where I pay to ship, track, and insure my defective unit back to them & wait lord-only-knows how long for them to send one that hopefully works.
Not blaming woot on this one, but I am not very happy with this purchase.
