    Regarding its price, I have good experience for avarage daily use. It's light, big screen is good for watching series and the price is very good. Its downside is touch pad which is not user friendly at all. I have another 10 inches touch screen ASUS, it's touch pad is perfect. If you don't want to spend too much on laptop and you don't want to work heavy on daily bases is a good option.

    I was looking to replace a PC that I have had since 2006 without spending a lot of money. I read the reviews for this one and was pleasantly surprised. It has a lot of bang for the buck and is the perfect PC for the average home user.

    I was debating whether to buy a tablet or a laptop for my daughter who is 7th grade, but I didn't want to spend more than 300 dollars. This Asus did the trick. I odered it and picked it up in 30 minutes the lo. local bestbuy. The laptop is very plain looking, but It's very fast and has an excellent battery life. UNDER $200.00, it was a very easy decision.

    Our laptop was on it's last legs and with my Wife being a photographer and us going to Europe. We needed a cheap, lightweight laptop to take with us, so she could download her photos everyday. This laptop is exactly what it advertises. A $250 basic laptop. I is fast, capable and great for internet, email and work. I highly recommend for those things.

    Original unit had defunct CMOS clock (would not keep time while shut down), but exchange at Best Buy for identical model was easy and straightforward. Very nice laptop for its price, compact and lightweight with nonetheless decent performance.

    It was at a great price and it works fine. Sometimes it can be slow depending on where you are if using wifi. Other than that it works well for basic school necessities. Plus its light weight.

    Yes, it is hard to find "good" and "cheap" in the same system, but Asus has done it! I am a double major college student and I use this laptop everyday to take notes, do homework, submit online assignemnets, and even watch Netflix and DVDs. I have used it for over 6 weeks and have loved every minute of it. I would make my decision again in a heartbeat.

    picked up two of these 8 months ago, was selling at a great price, could not pass them up. Great for kids doing homework, doing projects, internet browsing. Pros: full size keyboard with number pad, light weight, ease of setup. durable. Cons: battery life is about 3 hrs w/heavy use, processor could be a little faster.

    I bought three of these laptops for my wife, my daughter and myself. I do some traveling for my job and this unit is too big for the roller bags I have. I have to use a backpack or my other laptop when I travel. The unit works well but feels "cheap" with the keyboard and case being plastic and it feels too light to survive. We will have to see if they survive. As for the video, great for watching movies, shows, etc. from both Hulu Plus and Netflix. I would give it a 89 out of 100. The lower rating because of the size and the feel of the case.

    Got this based on price alone. Needed a laptop to take outside and run a telescope. It's cheaply made but I don't handle it roughly and it has worked perfectly for a couple yrs now. Upgraded to Win10 - no issues. So if you want an inexpensive laptop for a side project, I'd get it.

    I bought this laptop at an incredibly low price and the payoff is incredible. I would have expected to pay more for the 500gb hard-drive and the web cam. Simple and easy to use.

    Just right for child's first laptop

    I purchased this laptop for my 9 year old daughter. She likes to Skype her cousin while also playing on the Webkinz site and this works very well for that. She is also able to use it for school work. She can stream Netflix on it as we have a monthly membership and she is able to watch videos on her favorite sites such as PBS Kids and Nickelodeon. I paid $224.00 for it as I had a $5 Best Buy coupon, and it came with a free 6 month antivirus offer. It is pretty zippy and seems to handle multitasking very well; i.e.. video chatting while also on a website such as webkinz. We looked at chrome books, but found that she could not have used Skype (would have had to choose Google Hangouts instead), so given the price of this being only a bit more, we chose to go with a traditional laptop. She is familiar with Windows 8, so no learning curve necessary and the machine seems sturdy enough. I can recommend this to anyone looking for a basic laptop for work, school, or entertainment. The battery life is fine as she uses it in the home and it can be charged at night. I would estimate that she gets 5 - 6 hours of battery life on this laptop.

    The Laptop Works - Keyboard is bad for typing

    The laptop works well, but the keyboard feels like it will fall through the bottom of the laptop. It is very cheaply built. If you are buying for a child's first laptop this would be great. The trade in for this model from Best Buy is horrible. They say, "Your Estimated Trade-In Value: $12.00". I have used this laptop once.

    I purchased this computer for my son who was going off to an internship. If you are looking for simple word processing, web surfing etc, this is a great computer. It's very solid, unlike the Toshiba that I paid over $500 for that didn't hold up to normal use.

    For the price of the laptop, this deal cannot be beat! Computer works great. You can tell it is a cheaper model but that shouldn't stop you from buying if you are looking for a budget laptop. Great deal!
