Hi

Just grabbed one of these for my parents... has anyone rooted theirs yet, if so which method and any problems?

Cheers

You can get a unlocked boot loader from ASUS.
Means you will not get any updates when they push them out.

I haven't seen the need to root mine.


It's under utilities on this page
