Memory is not upgradeable
We wanted something with 8 GB rather than the 4 GB on this notebook, and the specs said that it was upgradeable. I was told that it had only one slot, so that I would need to replace the 4 GB module with the 8 GB one. (I have done this with many a computer.) Best Buy sold me what was supposed to be the correct 8 GB module. When I opened the computer (a little tricky, you need to pry it apart carefully), there is no place to install the memory, so I assume the 4 GB is built-in and not upgradeable. Trying to get tech support from Best Buy was a joke, since their Geek Squad seems to be a service for pay thing, and I just wanted to verify that the memory wasn't compatible. Anyway, the notebook works fine otherwise, though not particularly fast, and to save myself the trouble of returning the RAM, I installed it in an older notebook to upgrade it, so we've got a really nice fast older notebook anyway. Best Buy should change the inaccurate specs, but reaching Customer Service is challenging if not impossible, so I thought I'd let them know this way -- along with warning future prospective customers.

Just what I needed
Fast, lightweight, beautiful touchscreen. Processor is not the fastest but gets the job done quick enough. Easy set up.

Great little laptop
This ASUS laptop is one of several I have purchased over the years. This is the first one with Windows 8 and touchscreen and it's everything I expected it to be. The laptop is light and has the extra features I need for business presentations such as an external vga port. The price was right and the shipping was very fast.
