Great Price for a Good Product!

Posted by: from Palm Coast, FL on 05/14/2012I needed moderate a good performing but fairly inexpensive laptop with Windows 7 and built-in wifi when my 7 year old no name brand hand me down unit decided to finally quit working. After reviewing the previous comments on this product, I decided to take a chance on a brand I was more familiar with as a motherboard and netbook manufacturer. So far, I am happy with my decision. I'm not a fan of bloatware so I was glad to see that this unit only came with a few extra programs that I was easily able to sort through and keep or uninstall. As usual with all my experiences with other computers operating some incarnation of Windows I had to endure seemingly endless updates. All but one of the updates installed smoothly. The latest wlan driver caused my laptop's wifi to shut down but thank goodness for the built in Windows trouble shooter, that was a very easy fix. The loud clicking noise that the left and right touchpad buttons make is real but thank goodness I mostly use a usb mouse, but unless I insert a usb hub, I am left with only one free usb port. Although the volume on the built-in speakers is a bit disappointing, the unit itself definitely seems to meet my needs. After taking a couple of days to install all the necesary programs that I frequently use ... including my preferred maintenance, security, backup and recovery software and discarding the ones that came with the unit that I probably won't ... I haven't experienced any unusual delays in booting other than that during its first use boot cycle. Once booted, I'm loving its speed and performance which rivals my desktop unit with the same processor but double the ram and internal storage. I have to agree that the external case is a bit lack luster, but I wouldn't call it "cheap looking" ... I would say it seems a little less glossy and polished ... more austere, no nonsense and business-like ... just the way I like my electronic gadgets. Anyway ... only time will tell if this unit holds up as well as long as the other hi-tech products I've owned, but for now ... I think I got a great deal on a good product.

Great for basic use

Posted by: from Long Island, NY on 05/13/2012I bought this laptop about 3 week ago for $330 and have no regrets. I spent a lot of time researching laptops before I committed to this one. There's nothing out there right now that compares to the features of this laptop for the price. I don't use this for work, I needed something to replace my 6 yr old desktop computer that was dying. If you need a compact, basic computer with a beautiful LED display for emailing/FB/surfing/pictures storage, etc, you can't go wrong with this Asus. PS: the speakers aren't top notch, but fine for my basic needs. I agree the USB ports would have been better placed on the right side, but if you use a wireless mouse, there's no issue.

Good Laptop, but bad design
3
Posted by: from Sunrise, Florida on 05/09/2012This laptop is good in performance and features, but a large design problem, it has a USB port on the right!, Why?. When you use an external mouse plug to the left is for left or across the entire computer to use on the right side, this is a big problem that ASUS should solve or simply indicate that this laptop is for left-handers.

Great computer for any college or graduate student

Posted by: from Morehead, KY on 05/01/2012I bought this laptop about 3 months ago and I absolutely love this. My previous laptop cost twice as much and gave me about half of the preformance that this one gives me. Asus makes amazing products and they give the users top of the line computers. This one has a pretty great camera and the memory is huge! This speed of this laptop is super fast and it is very lightweight. The only knock on this product is that the outside shows smudges really bad and is a little difficult to clean. This laptop is great for college students and business professionals.

Computer failed within fifteen minutes of turn on.

Posted by: from Milwaukee on 04/21/2012Computer was a great deal. I turned it on and started to go through some setup stuff when it blue screened. Computer never booted again after that. Told me the hard drive could not be detected I.E not boot device found. Took it back to Best Buy store about two days after 30 day warranty. They gave me some flack but allowed me to exchange it. They had nothing like it in stock so I had to pay fifty bucks more for a equvalent. I think myself lucky I got to do that. Now I will turn it on sooner and check for problems.
