Pros: Processor, dedicated Graphics and unique configuration. The software bundle is rather nice. I usually could care less but in this case it was a consideration.
Cons: The hard drive ASUS put in this computer is terrible. I noticed the laptop was rather slow and I ran a hard drive benchmark and transfer rates were between 54mb and 76 mb and 20ms latency. What that translates into in plain English is sloooooow, consider a solid state drive upgrade (500+mb transfer rates and nearly 0ms latency).
Overall: I bought this laptop because the features are unique with nothing like it out on the market. A 2 in 1 with dedicated graphics, backlit keyboard and touch screen. This is the only 2 in 1 out there with those features. I have checked everywhere else (newegg, tigerdirect, pricewatch, etc and I couldn't find any). Sure multiple manufacturers have similar models; however, a majority of users does not understand the advantages of dedicated graphics and how much impact it can have on overall system performance.
I swapped out the hard drive with a Samsung 840 EVO 250Gb SSD. This laptop is finally as fast as it should have been out of the box. No complaints after that modification.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can you upgrade to a SSD HD?

Yes you can. You have to remove the bottom cover to access the drive.
