I've had one of my friends who pre-ordered one of these and had to return it for the same reasons. This Amazon review written a couple of days ago sums it up. Test it out if you can.
Reviewer:
This laptop has a known issue where it will reboot randomly. No one seems to be sure why it happens. It could be a botched power management or lousy liquid metal application, or something else. This problem has been reported many times.
ATTENTION: BEST BUY IS RUNNING A SCAM, AND ASUS DOESN'T CARE!
Best Buy is running a scam where they are selling these defective laptops as "Open Box", in excellent or like new condition, but they're actually returns like this one with this reboot problem. They hope the problem won't happen to you within the 15 day Open Box return window, so when it happens they refuse to take the return.
-Re-seating the RAM, using a different cable, updating all drivers and bios, resetting Windows or turning off "Auto restart on system error" doesn't fix it.
I am also seeing open-box for as low as $1320 but I would avoid those as they are probably ones with these issues.

I mean there are a lot of positive reviews as well. And if the issue was really really common, Asus would have probably recalled these. I know at least 2 people who got this at launch and have been super happy with it.

I am trying to wean out the bad ones versus the good ones. I do not think Asus is as stupid as to not test these under heavy load and not realize the "metal issue" that is causing shorts. There are always different revisions. I just ordered one so i can test it out myself.

I've also called BestBuy to match this new sale which they did happily.
