Looks good so far. Initially few apps crashed but working fine after system update. light weight, camera is good. One issue is gets heated pretty quickly. 7 on 10 considering its features and the price.

                        Hi all,
                        My query is related to updates.
                        I am currently on 1.18.40.10 (WW)

                        For KK, now there are 2 updates :
                        V2.19.40.18
                        V2.20.40.13

                        Case-1 : I directly update to V2.20.40.13

                        Case-2 : I first update to V2.19.40.18 and then install V2.20.40.13

                        So, which is correct? Case-1 or Case-2

                        One more query : Which is better/good :
                        1) To update via OTA
                        2) To download update from Asus website and then manually update.

                        Please reply. Thank you all in advance.
                        This thread/site is really awesome. Lots of problem solving suggestions.
