Pros
The Dual Screen.
Cons
Despite all the reviews, and I've read them all, apparently ASUS are NOT supplying the Stylus.

As soon as I saw the Dual Screen, I really wanted it..badly. I do a lot of demonstrations, and this is ideal. I picked up my Taichi on 15/1/2013 as I had pre-ordered it in October 2012. It's the most I have ever paid for a laptop, so am expecting big things. I used it for a presentation this week, and it was fantastic, the clients were amazed! However, using it today, I have found that it gets extremely hot, even the power pack is hot to touch. I am really really disappointed with ASUS Australia, as all the reviews say it comes with a stylus, even the PC World Australia. They were RUDE, and sent me a 1 line email say it does not come supplied. Not even a word of where I would purchase one. I am really concerned about the heat. I don't find it a problem not have a touch screen on the notebook side, as I use it mainly for all of my "Desk top Functions". I am still coming to terms with Windows 8, but that is a whole other story!
