I bought this laptop a week ago and it has given me nothing but problems. It keeps shutting it self off and when I rebut, it has a black screen telling me it was closed down incorrectly. I called an Asus tech. and they had me put in the rescue disk to reload the OS. I did. Well it kept doing the same thing and then it just would not rebut. Just a solid gray screen it was fried. I called the tech. who, once again had me reinstall the OS which took over an hour this time. And, of course, I had to reload my printer etc. Well, it went black again, shut itself off. I called Asus and said I want to replace it with another. They said they don't do that. Now, mind you, it shut itself down everyday I used the thing. So I called Amazon and they had UPS pick it up today and I am getting another laptop which won't be an Asus. Now maybe it was just a lemon, who knows, but Asus should have made it good plus given me a tech I could understand.
 Great Laptop July 30, 2010
Kenneth R. Depree (Sosua, Dominican Republic)
This is my first laptop and I could not be happier. With the i5 processor, it is fast and powerful. Much more so than the desktop it replaces. The monitor is bright and shows photos very well, very important for me because processing the photos I take is one of the major uses. The ability to tilt the monitor to the position you prefer helps in this regard. The 2-year global warranty and the 1-year accidental damage warranty are pluses and indicate the confidence that ASUS has in the quality of their computers.
br /
br /Update: I have used the computer now for a month and am still very enthused. I have edited 100s of photos during this period and pleased with the monitors performance.
br /
br /A techie friend was who suggested this might be the computer for me, when I told him my requirements. He said if he were in the market for a new laptop, this is one he would buy.
br /
br /I am still amazed how fast this computer is compared to my previous computer. Downloads occur in the blink of an eye.

I am totally happy with the computer so far. It has performed well. My son is able to do some gaming on there and I have also been able to work on it. I had it partitioned and added Windows XP since most of my work programs are not geared to function with Windows 7. I also did the anytime upgrade to Windows 7 professional.

br /
br /It was priced well below what I had expected to pay for it which made my decision to purchase it much easier. By purchasing it off of Amazon instead of from my local computer store, I saved close to $600 for the exact same machine.

br /Thanks Amazon!

I have been using it for a few days now. I love Windows 7 (coming from XP) and the laptop overall. It's very quick with Matlab, Word, and whatnot. I will try to keep it free of crappy software and I hope it lasts a long time.
br /
br /Construction is plastic, but is solid. There is some keyboard flex in the S,D,E key neighborhood. The arrow keys are a bit small and weirdly positioned, the right shift is smaller than the left shift. There is a number keypad, which is nice, but I don't use it. The screen is pretty and glossy (could be good or bad thing, depending on what you do). The webcam works well, but it's only VGA. Speakers are decent, given that it's a laptop, but my definition of decent may differ from yours.
br /
br /One of the cheapest laptops out there with Core i5 and 1Gb of dedicated video memory + 4Gb RAM + 500Gb drive. It's not compact, but it's not bulky either. Beats the hell out of my old Toshiba Satellite A15 that I had in college. Laptops have come a long way in the past few years.
br /
br /I hope this helps.

This notebook replaces my 3 yr old DELL Latitude. This ASUS does not have any issues as far as I am concerned. Long story short, I have tried most everything and thrown several things at it and responds like nobodies business. 1GB ATI graphics card is superb! Performance of this notebook is astounding. Set-up was easy and Wi Fi responds with ease. If you want an ALL notebook, this is it! Buy it, you will like it!!
