    We needed a laptop that had both VGA and HDMI outputs. This was a great low price unit with those features. The only feature that would have been nice is a touch screen (Windows 8).

    I think that for the money, this was a very good purchase. THis computer does everything that a casual user needs. Not a fan of windows 8, but overall I would purchase this again.

    Bought the laptop for my 6 year old son, and he loves it. I thought the touchpad could have been a little better on the response, like the title says it's good for a beginner

    The notebook works OK, but when I tried to get some help at the store I was told it would cost me an additional $200 ! ALMOST WHAT THE UNIT COST. When I pointed out how recently I had made the purchase the geek told me I was TWO DAYS LATE !?! It really makes me wonder why I bought at BEST BUY an on_line purchase would have probably been a better move for me. I will have to remember this poor service next time.

    If you're looking for a computer to use for heavy computing, this is NOT the computer. This computer is very good for beginners. I use the computer for mainly writing papers for school and social media. I occasionally watch movies, play games, etc. Windows 8 is wonderful, and I love it, but it is much easier to use when the computer is touchscreen. If you're looking for a simple computer for simple uses, this one will do it. For more complex things, spend the money to get you a great one that fits your needs. Also the touch pad is kind of hard to get used to. It doesn't have a defined line between the left and right side of the "mouse". And it is hard to scroll.

    This is my first time owning a Asus computer; I am a Acer user, but I decided to give this brand a try. I am not disappointed at all. When I turn it on it opens up fast and connects to my internet fast too. I had no problem when installing my software on the computer; everything was fast. I will definitely recommend to a friend.

    Purchased this for my high school junior Who has 3 AP courses this year, a few study groups already going & is preparing for college exams. We wanted something simple but that could handle all her needs. So far it has been perfect!! I couldn't pass it up for $229 price with no taxes...very happy that it has been well worth it!
