Consumer review (newegg.com)
Too bad this model is out of stock, I would buy it again even if just for a yestertech everyday low-load laptop
The price was amazing $350 refurbed since it was an older model at the time of my purchhase - Lots of ram, I5 cpu, 500GB HD, what wasn't to love? - I use it to run VMs.
- I upgraded it to Windows 10 after holding out for a while, WIn10 seems not to be a happy OS yet.

Got me through college.
This is a good machine that has lasted me for years. Solid construction, easy to use.
One minor glitch when it was new. I could not create a new windows folder. I got that worked out with one conversation with tech support.

This laptop is no longer available. But I would/could not recommended purchasing an ASUS computer
Looks good Light
Critical HW/SW flaw required factory repair less than 60 days after first operations. A big hassle. Now, six months out of warranty, laptop ceased charging the battery. ASUS asked for $500 to replace motherboard. $500 will instead be applied to another...

When it worked, it worked well enough for my purposes.
Frequent application crashes (browser, skype, file explorer, all at the same time). Either a bad driver or shoverware, but could never identify the cause after uninstalling and disabling junk. And now two and a half years after owning it, it died....

Picked up box, opened box and just put it in the box, loaded Ubuntu and finished connecting mobo wires and USB while it installed. That took no more than 3 hours. Board had no issues but so many options packed so small
Tight fit putting front panel and usb connectors NOAA's with Asus, pay for the extra stuff

Don't buy anything from asus
nothing. It's a standard motherboard
It works great if you can get one that last for more than a year. I got 2 replacements now and they both quit out after one day of use
Consumer review (newegg.com)
There is a bad batch of these in circulation. You are buying this at risk.
USB 3.0, fairly fast, plenty of usb ports, stable when it works
Bought this in March 2013. I had problems with this board just randomly shutting down. Very Intermittent. Almost daily after about six months. I am not sure why I kept it. I thought it might have been an issue with my power supply at one point. It was...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Haven't done a build in years and was looking for something inexpensive to replace my old laptop. Using it now for software development and works great. No regrets purchasing this board.
Everything works as expected. Price was good. Easy to set up
None so far
Consumer review (newegg.com)
If ASUS was not going to honor their original commitment, fine, just let me know if enough time so I could still return the board.
None
This board was defective. I called ASUS customer service and they walked me thru a number of tests, which I already did before calling them as I have 6 ASUS boards running in my home and I know what I am doing. The ASUS rep admitted they have had...

Great board for the price
BIOS is awful. I mean really bad. I feel like it's missing a lot of features and it's not easy to navigate
