It is a fast processing PC. That's about it. Best practical use is web browsing and email. This is the only requirement that met my expectations. The 1G wired networking is not the best but works as well as other PC brands.

Not a PC for anything more than email and web browsing. Expectations set by ASUS and sales were all not supported, such as wifi 5G. WLAN is not a valid specification but a sales deceptive coined word. HD was too slow, upgraded to SSD. No supported by...

Good sounds quality, plays games at decent quality settings.

- I had the same issue Kyle W. reported. However, I was able to solve it by draining the laptop of all charge (battery removed, unplugged, power button held for a couple secs) and then reinstalling the drivers. Silly, but it worked and has been working...

Good design. And probably the only thing that is good about it

This is my not first Asus laptop. Unfortunately, this will be my last Asus laptop. This laptop has A LOT of PROBLEMS! Its exactly a year. I have been sending this laptop for repair at least 3 times. The problems never solved. First, making too much...

Works very well for browsing the interwebs, and playing online games! Sounds better than any laptop I've ever owned.
