My only complaint right now is that something the touch screen becomes unresponsive. Like the device is hanging. It's set to performance mode and the screen is super ips+. Anyone else experiencing this?

The tf700 is my second tablet. I've had an ipad 2 since launch (and been using a droid x since launch as my phone). I waited for years (literally) for an android tablet good enough for prime time and finally got this one. Here are my impressions and issues so far - would love to hear if any of you have suggestions or comments-
1. I've experienced the same lag issues mentioned by many on this forum. I find the internet browsing experience to be inferior to my 1.5 year old ipad 2. This is crazy to me. I was willing to give up on the plethora of apps because most of my use is internet browsing - but having a laggy and slow internet experience is just unacceptable. I've tried resetting and I've tried stock browser, chrome and firefox. This is clearly an issue with either the OS or the hardware and it's very disheartening.
2. I read about the lack of android apps for tablets, but this is pretty crazy. My main in-bed reading is NYTimes and Wall Street Journal. The NYT app is laughable (anybody know if they are updating this?) and the Wall Street Journal app (and this is the one I'd love help with) doesn't seem to be scaling properly. The section headings are unreadable and massive and the text is too small.. I can't seem to find a setting that fixes this. The app is also EXTREMELY laggy - again, much moreso than my ipad 2.
3. the keyboard is great. I love it. I'm thinking of returning this thing and finding another lower end asus tablet that I can attach a keyboard to.
Bottom line is I'm unwilling to pay $550 (tablet price with tax) + $150 (keyboard) for an inferior experience to a 1.5 year old tablet from apple, as much as I'd love to have an android tablet. The only thing right now stopping me from returning this thing is the keyboard attachment, which is unbelievable.
Do my issues above sound like I got a lemon and should try swapping, or are android tablets still 1 or 2 generations away from prime time?
I've had my Infinity for about 4 days now. Out of the box, I set it to charge for a full 8 hours before even turning it on; when it was up and running, it updated itself, and when I joined it to the keyboard dock (The same one I purchased with the TF Prime, by the way), it updated the dock firmware as well.
I have no issues with screen responsiveness, lagginess, freezing, force closing or any other performance issues.
The one problem I do have is that the Infinity tablet will not mount my SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD cards, neither the 32GB nor the 64GB, whether formatted as ExFat, Fat32 or NTFS. It seems to recognize that there is something in the slot, but it will not mount the card, not even manually. The TF Prime has no problem with these cards, and the keyboard dock will mount them flawlessly. This is a firmware issue, and I presume Asus will address it in a future update.
But my main concern is the power button. Once the device is in active for a period of time the button becomes non responsive. Now matter how much I press the button the screen stays black. It may be I got a fluke model but does anyone else have this problem. Im hesitant to return my tablet because I love it so much but if this problem continues I will be forced to.
