I'm pretty sure, he said "31", but I've sent him an email already.
There are 18 user reviews on Amazon.de.
7 x 5 stars.
4 x 4 stars.
1 x 3 stars.
6 x 1 stars.
The 1 stars basically confirm my friend's assessment.
Maybe "Monday units"?

Personally, I'm ambivalent about Asus in general.
I had bought the Asus VivoTab Smart tablet.
For only 500 Euros it did perform surprisingly well.
But eventually I sold it (one of the very few gadgets I ever sold) because of the proprietary update process.
After the first hard reset, the Asus update process did stop working, as reported in tons of reviews (specifically about the VivoTab Smart).
You either had to uninstall the update software and search for offline updates. Or you had to look up the drivers yourself.
Else, the cost-benefit ratio would have been very well.
