After about 2 weeks:
Battery life: 4 - it lasts a day and change for my use. Sufficient but I would rather not charge nightly, especially since I cant change the battery.
Speed: 5 - all I could want and more
Software: 3 - this instead of performance. There are some major bugs left in the software that cause display issues, hangs, and crashes. Some of which are completely unacceptable since they are noted in early reviews, and are present and fixed in other devices.
Build quality: 5 - I rated this based soley upon my tablet. I have very acceptable light bleed (which even the best tablets have almost universally), great colors, and none of the other noted build issues. That said this is very much a ymmv situation since Asus's build quality appears to very wildly (either that or half the people here are delusional idiots which I strongly doubt.)
Overall: 5 - exactly what I wanted for less than I wanted to pay. With the right case it is perfect for my needs. A highly portable networking and note taking device.

I'm curious to know, how bad was this light bleeding? I hear a lot of people complain about it, but have never seen a tablet that light bleeding seemed to be a problem.

I have. Some of the early ipad 2 were real bad even when not on full brightness. It is definitely more noticeable the brighter it is. Mine has a little in the right hand corner but it is negligible and I can only see it when I'm looking at a picture of black.

Thats what I mean. Any light bleed that I have seen is only on a full black screen on full brightness. Are there really any tablets that have such bad light bleed that you can see it during regular use?

Yeah I've seen a couple (my brothers first ipad 2) and a couple other tablets. Nothing consistent enough to call a product line issue after the first run of ipad 2s
