Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a Christmas gift for my son. He uses it for games and homework. So far its fast, reliable (though windows 8 is a little quirky) had the best hardware vs cost available. It also has minimal extra software installed. You know, all those useless programs you don't want or need "bundled" with your purchase. The keyboard and mouse are nice and come with it, when other desktops in this price range didn't.

Purchased alot during the christmas season and i now have 6 computers in my arsenal. 2 of which are last years model of this computer before they switched and put in a upgraded graphics card and lower amount of ram. 1 dell from 10 years ago that is still working perfectly. 1 new asus labtop for another review. and 1 gateway computer from 16 years ago. And last but not least is my new one here. I use 3 computers daily. 1 is my editing computer for my gaming footage. 1 is a slave computer that runs all server information and last up i have my new one which handles my day to day life and playing games and using the ps3/4. Never had any issues with the unit. Small quiet and easy to start up. Asus makes a great reliable product hence me now have 4 products that are asus. Great computer to get you started into a mid level gaming genre. If your planning to buy a high end computer and can afford about 2k. Build it and part it out and purchase. I just couldn't afford to build my comp this year so instead i bought this premade.

This is the second Asus computer in our family. I find that Asus uses slightly better components (since they are known as a gaming computer) in their “budget” line. Don’t be fooled by the price. This computer rocks! Lightning fast, with all the necessary ram, hard drive space and latest chip. Motherboard has a decent onboard video card (not for extreme gaming) and has room for additional ram, video card and space for additional hard drives. Very easy to set up. Windows 8 – get used to it. You won’t find a better machine for under $600.

My old computer was around 10 years old and getting really slow. This computer, in comparison, is like "lightening" speed. Was very easy to set up and get started. Having issues with Windows 8, the WiFi connection keeps dropping. After reading several on-line blogs, this is apparently a known problem. As far as I can tell everything about this computer works as it is supposed to, though. I did end up buying a different keyboard though, as the one that came with the computer didn't have white letters/numbers, so was very difficult to see.

Windows 8 came on the computer and isn't like stepping back into a new Windows 7 machine. Lots of things work differently. I found the ASUS app for controlling the screen scale but the function disappeared when I upgraded to Windows 8.1. ASUS said they didn't (at least at that time) support 8.1 and couldn't guide me to a driver update. I found the update on the AMD site and restored the scale function. Once I bought Windows 8.1 for Dummies and learned the new system, it works well. Although Windows 8.1 isn't quite as stable, Excel, Word, and browsers have to restart more often than in Windows 7, we are getting along well now after a month.

Win 8 is easy to work with. Processor speed and overall usage so for has been good . handles hard gore gaming fairly good.

I got this mainly for gaming as an upgrade to my 5 yr old dual core desktop. So far I have not been disappointed in my purchase. The on-board video left alot to be desired, as most prebuilt pc's do. Since putting in my own video card, the tower has been great. My only "complaint" is having to use Windows 8. Figuring out how to upgrade it to 8.1 was a real pain due to not having any type of paperwork on it at all included with the tower. After doing some online reading and a bit of updating I was finally able to get it set up with 8.1. Overall, I feel this is a decent gaming pc for the price of you are on a bit of a budget.

I'm not a real fan of Windows 8, but that's like purchasing a new car and saying you hate the gas it comes with... solid computer for the price...fast, quiet and boots in seconds after the initial startup I got this computer to play online games, my previous computer got 4 frames per second, this one 60....hard not to love it Windows turns off programs when not actively used, so playing away from keyboard is a issue..might be able to be fixed, I just don't know yet... But yes I would totally get this computer again

I have owned the ASUS for about a month. The computer has four USB ports on the back and two on the front. It has a multi port for SD cards. The graphics and processor are strong enough to play the latest computer games.

Asus really knows how to build a computer with the right bells & whistles without the proprietary and unnecessary fluff software. I was reluctant to buy a Windows 8 computer, but built in tutorial made for an easy transition. The included Asus Cloud storage is a nice treat too. The quiet cooling fan is great since it's not bother at night while sleeping as my old computer. The AMD 10 processor is smokin fast!

This was a gift for my son who is an online gamer. He absolutely loves it and tells us all the time what an awesome choice it has been. He get great graphics, it is fast, he has been able to expand to have side by side screens so that he can play online and see what is going on with his other team members at all times.

This is my first ASUS computer and it is better, in every way, than my previous computer (a Dell desktop). It is fast and came with all the features I wanted. There have been a couple of issues with Windows 8, but upon doing some research, I found that those were known glitches with Windows 8, so I can't really blame the computer for them! It is fast and very quiet; does everything I need it to do and more. Overall a really good machine and came at a good price.

Great desktop computer. The AMD A10 chip it super fast. Getting use to Windows 8; isn't as bad as I've read in reviews. I like it. The pc has lots of USB inputs, both 2.0 and 3.0, as well as HDMI. I've only had the pc running for a little over 3 weeks, so I can't comment on it's reliability. Best Buy had the best pricing for this desktop. I;m completely happy with both the buying experience and the computer.

The ASUS was easy to set up and get started. I didn't realize it would be so good for gaming, but the kids have high-jacked it and I hardly get to use it at all. It's a little noisy, but it's nothing I can't live with. I'm especially happy that I bought the virus/malware protection and the Geek Squad coverage. The peace of mind means a lot to me. Overall, I'm pleased with the quality of the unit.

The computer starts up quickly. I have been pleased with the performance. Wish it came with a better keyboard. I don't really like Windows 8; it not easy to determine how to close down an application. It is also a challenge trying to close an adobe document; you think that it has been closed, but it is still running in the back ground.

Great computor for the price. Covers all my needs at home. Only complaint is the keyboard is hard to see. Not an Asus problem, but not too fond of Windows 8, seems to be designed more for touchscreen users than for us old school key punchers. i would purchase again.

I bought this PC to replace an old Dell running Vista. The change to Windows 8.1 has taken time to get use to but I really like this PC. It's fast, lets me play the Sims 3 with no problems. No issues after 2 months of ownership.

It works well for what I need. I got double monitors and work with school book and homework at the same time. It is a good processor

Was updating my 2004 Dell Desktop - love this Asus - very fast, pretty easy to use - getting used to Windows 8 - I'm not real computer savvy, but I have to say I am very pleased with this computer. I would highly recommend this to my friends or anyone looking to purchase a desktop for an affordable price .
