I've also had build/QA problems with the Asus tabs - a prime and an
infinity. I couldn't leave an SD card in the prime without it
rebooting itself. The Infinity had some power consumption problems and
the keyboard dock started to make a cracking sound on closing. On
closer inspection it was starting to split apart - a problem others
have had too. 2 tabs -> 2 returns!
