- Frequent problems with a program called "CloseLid". Asus helpdesk and some user forums did recommend to uninstall this program. Then the automatic switching to tablet mode when closing the lid didn't work anymore - no surprise after understanding the usage of "CloseLid".
- Battery ca. 3 hours!
- Touchpad not working well in the outer areas.

Again: I don't have any personal experience. But my friend's feedback has been quite devastating.
I found the concept of 2 screens (albeit only 1 touch enabled) compelling myself...
Rather strange then that several reviewers say that it is the coolest running ultrabook of all. The fan is running, but the noise level is extremely low. Looks like your friend has the 11.6" screen version.
