Jer, I agree, I'm not wild about the proprietary charge port, but having had the TF101 I'm accustomed to it.
Surelee (sorry, I have to say it, (in my best Leslie Neilson voice) "and don't call me Surelee"
), naturally there are a few defective units with any device, but it doesn't seem like the TF700 has had a high percentage, so here's to hoping that next one is perfect.
