A simple elegant laptop. Runs very smoothly and just over all a great laptop. Love the easy features that it has and the smart pad is such a bonus.
Highly recommend this laptop.

I really wanted to love this laptop. The best part about it was the color, light weight and the fact that it had a backless keyboard. The laptop was loud as can be and the speakers are underneath. I thought the screen smart pad was going to be the coolest thing ever. Turns out is was just a pain. You couldn't read anything on the screen easily and need a precise stylus to do anything with it. I returned the laptop within 2 days and went with an HP and love it.

The touch screen is pretty annoying but I turned it off. Laptop overall was nice. Low storage, but I cracked on the side panel, so 3 years later now getting a new one.

I am loving this laptop! The color is so nice.. love the rose gold. I don’t know too much about computers but so far this one seems to be pretty great. I love the touch pad. It’s a little tricky to get used to but in the beginning because it also acts as your mouse. When you set up the computer it takes you through how to work the touch pad. It’s very easy and convenient for multi tasking.. everything runs pretty smoothly! I have no regrets about buying this laptop. Curb side pick up at the Tinley park location on 191st was pleasant and fast. They are doing a great job.

Notes: (1) No touchscreen on this laptop for users who are used to that mode of interaction. (2) Be careful opening screen from closed position until you are used to the "bent" screen style attachment hinges. Lid/screen is thin & feels kinda flimsy when opening compared to a traditonal lid. (3) Pink color is actually pretty good looking overall with keyboard/inside of unit more of a subdued rose silver color. Bought this for daughter's college classes & so far she has no complaints. Solid internals (current gen) should be "future proof" for four years of college, depending on major. Battery life so far is 5-7 hours of her usage on average. Touchpad is dual purpose & a launch pad for certain apps. Personally found it annoying but she loves it. Overall is a solid lightweight laptop that performs well. At the time I purchased this laptop, BestBuy had the best price online & the GeekSquad support option available. I searched thru alot of sites, including the big A site. You do pay a premium (~ $100) for the pink or green models but they are distinctive from the ordinary crowd of silver, black or white laptops. Did not load the downloadable antivirus software, use a different brand that includes Lifelock.

Computer Is great. Had ASUS before this one. Notice a lot were sold out of this model but without the screen touch pad and was weary about that new part of the the laptop. to sometime to get use to. To let you know you can turn it off completely. There is no extra RAM or graphic card. For that's not a problem anymore since I don't do gaming on the laptop or business on it. Overall it works great so far but only have had for two weeks but that's why I get the extra protection and have the total tech support membership.

The Keyboard lights up very pretty. The only thing would be the silver lights on silver keys. But the display is pretty and bright. the color is moss green and it's light weight. The computer also feels sturdy. Still getting used to the smaller screen, but I like having it there. Use it when looking at two screens or hearing music.

After much research, this Asus laptop is the best. The reviews were very helpful in making the decision. Love the display and the touchpad with the apps. Find the calculator helpful. Haven't explored the rest yet.

Lightweight—what a dream! Works great. Only odd thing is how to tap bottom left corner of built in touchscreen to use as usual mouse. Took me a while to figure that one out. Love the green—it’s a soft olive. Wanted a laptop I could easily lug to use with projector for meetings—this is great.

The touch screen part is very glitchy and it is driving me crazy. I will be doing something and the mouse will turn off randomly so I click something I don't want. Sometimes the ts turns off completely and it looks like its restarting as if I turned the computer off. When I drag a page down to it so I can sign something it is so temperamental or doesn't recognize what im doing. It would be better if what was on my touchscreen was also on the main screen so I can see it in both places. It is def not a good laptop for my college courses.

Dear MOmof4,
Certainly understand the inconvenience if you are experiencing issues with the touchscreen and the touchpad.
In order to improve the touchscreen responsiveness and stability, please install all features or recommended WINDOWS Update and verify if the laptop has access to an established router and internet service or connection is working properly since this will defintiely affect the responsiveness of the touchscreen if accessing web applications.
The touchpad is a smart device that supports multi gestures, please allow some time to get use to the multi-touch function of the pad. Installing features or recommended WINDOWS Update will update the ATK driver and will improve the touchpad responsiveness and stability. It may become unresponsiveness if internet service or connection is poor or unstable while accessing web applications.
Should you need further assistance, please email me at [email protected] and I will be more than glad to help. Or, you can speak to an ASUS live support agent 24/7 at http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,
Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

Well that is she can say... I bought this for my daughter and she is super impressed with the features the touch pad brings, she thought it was gimmicky at first but she got used to it and started loving it. but the screen of the machine could have been better.

Asus is my go-to for laptops. I had my old one for over 6 years. I gave that one to my son and upgraded to this beauty. I like to play online games, like Sims and WoW. I just recently downloaded FF XIV and it runs the game wonderfully. I just have to get used to the screenpad.
