    I have purchased these laptops on a regular basis and for the tasks that they are being used, i.e., Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Word and webpage browsing they perform well and for the money they can be replaced quickly. Haven't had any major issues aside from complaints of lagging when trying to run multiple programs at once due to the lower class processor and minimum RAM.

    Laptop looks nice, was ready to use after the Windows 8 configuration steps. However, too many useless applications came pre-installed. There were constant pop up advertisements, reminders, etc, which made using the computer impossible. Had to spend several hours uninstalling these useless apps so that the computer could be used in a normal manner.

    Asus Is Still The Best

    I've been an Acer fan for a long time, but had Asus parts when building laptops. I like Asus because they use all of their own parts, motherboard, RAM, DVD Burner etc. They are also right next to Macbooks when it comes to reliability scores. This laptop is great for all your basic needs, it's no I7 or even Pentium Dual Core, but it does the job. The Celeron Dual-Core processors are just above the Atom's which were used in many Netbooks. But a bit faster clock speeds. It's great for web browsing, Office, HD Videos, Music (speakers are very loud), great for the price. Also the Celeron does an excellent job at power consumption, runs quiet and the battery (which is built in) gets up to 4hrs, depending on what you're doing and your screen brightness. Speaking of that, the screen is just the right brightness, and has excellent clarity. A few drawbacks, as even with expensive laptops are that most today are made with very cheap plastics. But then again they can take a beating, because lets face it, none are made of steal. So typing feels cheap, and when doing so you can feel the hollowed body of the unit. Not really a huge deal. The mouse is smooth to touch, a little crazy sometimes, and the mouse buttons themselves take some getting use too. I should also mention you get a full number keypad, and it doesn't run hot, you can barely even hear it running. So if you want the best price that beats Chromebooks, and you get a full laptop (DVD-Burner, which is becoming rare), you can't beat this deal. Toshiba has fallen, and HP, well IMO is just junk, and has a horrible track record. So while this is no Macbook or even a high end laptop, it gets the job done. Maybe a little slower, but for a cheaper price than a new cell phone!!!! Great wireless as well I must say. I should have bought 2. Perhaps?
