Consumer review (newegg.com)

Was great for the first 7 months.

 

I am not computer savvy but the laptop was easy to figure out.

It died at 7 months.

Good Entry Level Laptop

 

Wish it shipped with Win10 pre-installed and without all the bloatware but i get that this is an older model, just grab the free upgrade while it's available. I also wouldn't pick up up unless you can find it for $450 or less as I did. You can get...

Got this as an entry level laptop, something cheap, yet powerful enough to play a few games while I'm away from home. This was perfect. while some may complain, I for one prefer matte screens over glossy and I'm quite happy with the 1366x768 resolution...

If you're used to using a much higher resolution monitor (2560x1440 for myself) this laptops screen is a bit tricky to get used to, there just isn't a whole lot of desktop real estate, however most webpages show up just fine, so that's never been an...

Lappy Lappy Lappy

 

Like most off the shelf laptops, this thing came infested with crapware. I formatted and converted the TB Toshiba HDD to an external and replaced it with a 120 GB SSD for about 60 bucks. ASUS could probably sell more of these if they came with a stock...

Impressive hardware at this pricepoint. Plenty of CPU and RAM with a decent GPU built right in. Light as a feather. Ports are nice and sturdy. Nice deal for a mid-range workhorse if you can find it on sale at around 400 bucks.

Much lighter than laptops of a few generations ago, but it's also somewhat flimsy. Touchpad is the worst I've ever used to the point that I have to shut it off and use a USB mouse. The screen is not going to wow you with vibrant glossyness. The...

Good General Purpose Laptop

 

The first unit I bought had a defective screen, but Newegg was quick to replace it, no charge. Second unit has no problems so far. A good general purpose laptop. Good for basic work and entertainment. My previous laptop was an ASUS K55N which was also...

Does what you want it to do. Works well with Windows 10. (Comes with Win 8.1 with a free Win 10 upgrade.) Multitasks with no problem. Decent display. Good comfortable keyboard. Reasonable price for what you're getting.

Fan can get pretty loud and annoying at times. The two-finger scroll function on the trackpad is a little sluggish after booting up or waking it from sleep mode: You have to wait a few minutes after booting for it to work, mildly annoying but overall...

Hardware Malfunction

 

Nice design. Good spec and performance for the price. While it lasted

Unreliable Hard drive. After a week of use my hard drive had 0% free space capacity. The only think i installed was windows office. I brought it to my IT guy and he said the hard drive was bad. Should be an additional $100+ to fix
