    I got my computer used. I think it is a decent brand. I have not had many issues with it. It did stop on me once. I brought it into Best Buy. The service guy at Geek Squad said all computers do that. I also got the 1 year protection plan. I recommend always getting the protection plans! They are worth the money. If you have a young child in school who is needing a computer this is a good one. Or if you are like me and only use a computer for emails and facebook this is a great model.

    Got this for my wife. Honestly, I didn't expect it to run like my ASUS ROG heavy duty system but I'm a bit disappointed in this unit. My wife doesn't do any fancy video editing or anything like me and it still runs slower with basic use such as web surfing, etc. Also, she's only been using it for about 2 months now and the adapter already died so now we have to contact ASUS to send a new one.

    I recently left my job, of which I used my work laptop for everything. I was gone from the company all of 4 days and needed to get a laptop. I went with this Asus laptop because I've been so happy with my Zen Watch 2. I couldn't be happier, lightweight, decent battery, sizable screen, CD port (I didn't want to have to buy an external drive), and pentium processor--it has all I need. I have a 2 in 1 laptop too, I hate it, the tablet mode and PC mode often get themselves confused so I knew I wanted something old school but updated. This laptop fit the bill.

    Great laptop for the price: loud touchpad

    Overall I have to say this is a great laptop. I bought an open box and paid less than $200. I am using it for dual boot of Win 10 and then Kali Linux on a USB for Ethical Hacker classes. My only criticism is the touchpad. When you press down on it to 'click'... the touchpad is very noisy. Also the touchpad is way too sensitive. I could adjust for the sensitivity, but the noise of the touchpad is what I do not like. So I use a mouse instead... cheap solution.

    $229 and it ALWAYS hits $229. Comes with DVD player 15" monitor for that price you really can't beat it. Fixing one costs more then that. It lasted about 2 years for my daughter who probably used it 5 times a week to watch movies do school work stream Netflix so when the background light went out and it was gonna be around $150 to fix it we just bought a new one. And I'd do it again.

    I wanted to buy something reliable, and cheap. I have never had issue with Asus, so I gave this a try. This was for my mother who primarily checks email, surfs and uses facebook. I wanted something with no frills and would last. I like that its large and has enough space for a number pad. it feels solid and is quick. Comes with plenty of HD space. My only complaint is the track pad. it seems clunky and unresponsive at times while the rest of the computer is well built.

    Bought for my kids to do homework. Works great if not just a bit slow. They have no problems with it otherwise.
