    I purchased this against the recommendations of the sales person. The laptop is meant for composition only. Web browsing or streaming is out of the question. Pass on this one.

    Inexpensive but not cheap!

    So inexpensive, and yet, not cheaply made at all. The screen is crystal clear. I don't have any problem with Windows 8.1 (just installed Classic Shell, a free program, and the Start Button is back!) It runs everything - including Dragon Medical 2 (high end version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking) and is fast enough to keep up with real time speech, too. Using PowerDVD 13 Ultra works fine (it has its own cheaper version of PowerDVD I believe but I uninstalled it). This is a perfect laptop for a college student who needs to use it to do homework. I am not a fan of Mac (can't afford it, I know..) and as well made and pretty as they are, I can't see myself paying $1,000 for a lap top that all I want to do is to go on the internet and type a letter (in this case, "dictate" a letter). Besides, Dragon Medical 2 does not run on Mac!! Thank you Best Buy for keeping the price low. Recommended? Heck yes!

    Lightweight

    Worth it for the price.

    I have been looking to purchase a new laptop for school and to use personally. I searched online and couldn't find a good deal and actually made a mistake with buying a refurbished one which made me lose 20 bucks to return. Then I decided to look at bestbuy website. Turns out there was a deal of 249.99 for a decent Asus laptop, this one. After deciding whether to get it or not, the reviews seem a bit too good to be true but I still went to get it mainly for the affordable price. I would grade this a B+ purchase. The price was cheap, so of course the material of this laptop is cheap. The base and keyboard area is plastic-ish.. like the material of a rack or a small chair. It's not fragile though. Lightweight, big screen, again for that price it's really worth it. Of course you can get a better quality performance computer (i5 core or even a Mac) but you'd have to pay a chunk more,(prettymuch double or more) $300 more for faster performance, graphics, details, etc? Personally think its not worth it since this one fullfills basic needs at a good speed. Speed is not fast but not slow. It's not a great laptop but it's not horrible. Average laptop for daily use, though I wish it would be in different color.
