I purchased this laptop twice. The first one I purchased was loading too slowly and the Geek Squad associate suggested I exchange it for another one. I purchased the same laptop again. I dropped it off at Best Buy to have my data transferred from an external hard drive. I received a call from the Geek Squad the next morning and was told that it was idling at 200 degrees celsius while they were transferring the data and was told that it was defective. Therefore, I returned it. I would not recommend anyone to purchase this laptop.

Dear Debbie,
We certainly understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused.
All ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections, this is a random problem. Normally, ASUS provides one year warranty coverage, if product was purchased brand-new, in order to fix or repair any hardware or part that stop working prematurely under normal usage.
The laptop will generate more heat than normal while under heavy load especially during the initial Windows setup, WINDOWS Update and during an antivirus scan. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. Check if Windows is not updating or an antivirus software is running in the background before doing a data backup or transfer. Please ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.
If you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are always welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,
Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

Laptop was good, it was not starting, returned, I had a 3 yrs Geek Squad warranty. I got a refund. I want to buy the same laptop, but Best Buy is not carrying the same laptop.
Bought a new Dell laptop today with 3 yrs warranty
