Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice computer but SUPER slow even though it is brand new. :(

Super affordable and very good quality. Quite suprised! Definitely worth the money!

Bought to replace my daughter's laptop. She loves her new laptop. She feels it is a mojor upgrade to her previous one.

Had a hard time getting it set up. Seems to work ok now.

Good computer for someone just doing Internet searches and social media items.

This laptop is good for those on a budget or someone seeking a second laptop with decent performance for the basics.

This is a great laptop for someone that wants a solid computer at a great price!

Purchased this laptop for a small business where my employees could take training classes, make food orders and access the internet. For basic use, including e-mail, internet browsing and Excel this laptop works great. I would recommend this laptop if need something for higher level of computing or gaming.

After working on computers for many years, I have built and repaired many. A lot of people don't know before Asus were really big into laptops they did/and still do make "parts" for computers. Also a lot of people know them for their high end gaming laptops. This is as basic as you can find, but for the price, (199$) on sale you can't beat it. All the small type, "netbook" computers at this price range lack the extra two gigs of ram. This also has a DVD/CD writer/burner/ and a 500gb HDD. Something else the HP Stream, Acer Cloudbook, among others lack. Especially just having small amounts of flash memory. So while this may have the same basic Celeron Dual Core processor. It's no nearly the slouch of the fore mentioned. Nor is it nearly as bad as most AMD's at the mid 200$ price range. Intel's chips (even slower models) are always better. Also Windows 10 is a HUGE resource hog, and is always usually doing some type of update in the background. Also uninstalling Macafee is a must, since Windows Defender (built in under your Control Panel), is really all the protection you need. The screen is decent, not the brightest, but adequate. The speakers are great, very loud with a lot of bass. And the keyboard is good, not necessarily high end, but good separation and response from the "chicklet" keys themselves. Which I like a lot. On one last note, Asus is an extremely reliable brand, as I stated above because they manufacture their own motherboards, HDDs, RAM etc. Which is great. Very little 3rd party parts found (if any). Also every brand has their basic/budget/lower end laptops. But this I've found is one of the best. Yes it sounds a bit hollow while typing, and the build isn't super solid. But all laptops are made of pure plastic materials anyway. So it shouldn't have to have a sticker saying handle with care. So basically that's it. Decent speed for browsing, facebook, music, netflix, MS Office, very light games etc. Also the speed of your internet and the browser you're using has a great effect on performance. Expect a little lag though no matter what, since it's an energy efficient machine. Other pluses, track pad OFF button, full size keyboard, USB 3.0/and 2.0, card reader in the front, HDMI. So I can't really see anyone complaining about this machine. Unless you get a lemon. Btw, my so called "reliable" HP, that's about a year and a half old. Well, about 7 keys went bad only 6 months after I purchased it. Keyboard would cost more to replace than I paid for it. So now it's hooked up to my LED tv, where i use it for higher end tasks. Much like a desktop (with an external) keyboard. Technically it's not a notebook anymore. So that's why I bought this. Hard to sit a notebook on your lap, and have to use a separate keyboard. So don't let prices fool you folks. This ones a keeper, unless I jinx it by this review.

got it at best buy at a special price, this was a great notebook for the price

Very slow loader . Just getting to where I input my password. I bought it just for writing. It is a cheap laptop. Can't say how it works for anything more than writing. It's agonizingly slow for loading office. Would I buy it again? It's cheap it will do. I can be patient. Can't say I am impressed for getting it for any other use.

This is a great laptop if your looking for something up to date and sample

This is a great computer at a great price. It does what I needed it to do.

Asus has proven itself to make quality computers and this a good example.

Purchased as a birthday and Father's Day gift for my almost 70 year o.d father to train on using websites etc.

Great computer and wasn't to pricey my son has really enjoyed his laptop

Very slow processing but decent laptop for the price.

I bought this laptop as a replacement for my old Windows Vista laptop. I use it primarily for work, but also for watching movies (both streaming and dvd.) One thing that surprised me was that, even though it has a dvd drive, it didn't come with any programs capable of dvd playback. It was no problem, though as it was super simple to find and download one, and it works great!

It does its intended job at a very economical price. It was what I was looking for and it fulfilled my needs.

No complaints here. Sturdy, works well. A good computer for the price.
