    Great for school/every day use

    It's been about a month since I purchased this laptop for school purposes, and I would say that it is an excellent laptop for students or just simply searching the web, storing pictures, etc. I purchased this laptop in store, list price in store was about $270 but I priced match with Best Buy's online price for $250. While writing this review, the online price dropped to $230 so I think it's an excellent price. I've been saving a lot of word documents for school since I just started college, uploading pictures to my laptop from my phone, and downloading a few songs here and there. 500GB is definitely a lot of room. Battery life is AMAZING! Before I purchased this laptop, I spent around $450 on an HP laptop model number 15-BA085NR that had 8GB Memory and 1TB hard drive, only to return it back to Best Buy after 3 days because I only got 1 hour of battery life. However, this Asus after being fully charged last me a good 5 hours. After having this laptop for about a month, there hasn't been any crashes/lagging. Although it's silver, fingerprint marks isn't anywhere near noticeable. Keyboard is nice and spaced out, identical to a Macbook UNFORTUNATELY, the reason why I'm giving 3 stars instead of a full 5 is because the touchpad is pretty sensitive. That's the only bad thing I would say about this. It gets pretty irritating because because if I'm surfing the web, I'll click something and it'll highlight the whole screen sometimes. Not a major issue, I simple just use a wireless mouse with it.
