No 1 or 2 star reviews, couple of reviewers state hibernation support doesn't work. 

Most helpful review takes ASUS to task for WiFi being painful in the out of box confix. 
Remidied by upgrading the OS.

Another reviewer observed 
    There is also remarkably little space on the drive, given it's
    capacity (320 G). That can be traced to an empty, extended 105 G
    NTFS partition. I suppose you can mount it and put stuff there
    (like Windows?), or you can use GParted to resize it and the
    other partitions, or possibly delete it and resize the other
    partitions. It's a strange disk arrangement.

Well, check the reviews for yourself.
