ASUS - 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Spin Pattern in Black

My granddaughter was sharing the laptop that I got for both the girls a couple of years ago at Best Buy so I surprised her with a new ASUS laptop of her own. Now they both have one. I will never forget the priceless look on her face when she saw her new laptop. It is really a great computer. Better than the one I have for sure. Lots of memory, very fast and it included security software. It was on sale which was a factor that helped but her Mother has an ASUS and she loves it. My granddaughter does her homework and also plays Minecraft in her spare time which is not often with all the homework they have to do. She just did a research ;project on dogs and used her new laptop. She does not have to share with her sister anymore. She has a I-Pad from school but prefers the laptop for her research projects. It is a great computer and a great gift. I buy all my electronics at Best Buy and like their payment plan and the quality and prices of the electronics.

This is the best PC you will ever get for the price you would think it is not a fast running, multitasking, secure PC but your wrong this does everything I need to do daily and fast too. Easy to take on the go and easy to use wifi anywhere available. Never had a all in one PC this awesome. Anyone needing emails, shopping, paying bills, surfing the web can do it all with this one PC and it doesn't cost a fortune.

its a good laptop for these who requires a minimum features. its cheap compare to all other laptops with similar features.

This laptop is great for students or someone who ise jist simple.

I use it mainly for movies and surfing the web but you can't beat it for the price i got mine while on sale the very next day i wanted to buy another one the price went right back up so i will just wait for another great sale like this one overall it is a great buy thanks bestbuy.

Hundred percentage good item. Laptop is very nice and also review I almost satisfied this laptop. Thank you very much Best Buy product

Asus is a great company, and make a lot of great gaming pc's, so their budget stuff (for the most part) isn't all that bad. Also ASUS make their own motherboards, gpu's, HDD's, RAM etc. And also manufacture those parts for other companies pc's as well. This is a great deal for the price, the computer runs very smoothly. With another upgrade of 4 gigs of RAM, I'm sure it would run even smoother. But I really don't need it. Plus upgrading (now) is a hassle since you have to dismantle the entire computer just to do it. The build quality it pretty good, although it still has that budget feel. It looks more expensive than it is, and has a very nice silver (macbook) appearance to it. Also I like the top with the circular brushed metal feel/look and the logo. Very appealing. The keyboard is good, not great. A little unresponsive or it takes a little more "push: to get your keystrokes to respond. Not a huge deal, but enough you may notice if you type fast like myself. The screen is nice and bright and the viewing angles are good as well. The I3 processor is really good, especially for only 329$ + tax. Speakers are nice and loud, and also have quite a bit of bass to them, only they are underneath. So depending on how the computer is sitting depends on how loud the sound is. Battery life is ok, around 6 hours or less. The only real problem I have is that the heat sink/exhaust fans are oddly placed in the back of the computer, behind the one giant long hinge. You don't fell much heat escaping, but it's pretty loud. And sometimes idles even louder while doing the smallest of tasks. But oh well. It's still a great deal, and Asus is extremely reliable. So even for some video editing, music, movies etc. This is a great deal. Mainly because of the 5th gen I3, which is a lot more at other stores. Usually 500$ of more in some places. So if your in the market for something cheap/fast with a great processor and overall good build. Get this one. Just don't be thrown off by the noisy hollow keyboard, when you type. It's still great.

Needed a new laptop with a VGA port, which is becoming hard to find (no longer offered with Dell or HP). Couldn't decide between this Asus and a comparably spec'd Lenovo. The smaller size and design of the Asus won me over. Only complaint so far is the 5400 RPM hard drive which is a little noisy compared to the dead silent 7200 RPM that was in my old Lenovo. But for the price ($299 on sale), a laptop with these specs is hard to beat. Been reading reviews about the difficulty in upgrading memory, but seems to run pretty fast the way it is.
