Consumer review (newegg.com)

fast laptop

 

Recommend on performance but not the screen.

Big step up in performance from my previous laptop. Clean looks like new

LCD is the Main Problem

 

- You basically get what you're paying for. - The keyboard isn't that bad. It feels pretty good. What you would expect. - The plastic does feel a bit cheap, but nothing that you wouldn't expect for <$400. - The touch pad takes getting used to. Since...

- For <$400 it's not a bad deal with 8GB of RAM, 500GB of space, Windows 8.1 64 and i5 5200U (2.20GHz).

- The screen is very, very bad. This is the one real negative. A lot of the time it is extremely difficult to look at the screen at the correct angle for it to look good. If you're not looking at it from the correct angle it looks very bad. It also...

Great speed,its light et beautiful finish. Perfect for school work and average usage.

Decent machine at this price point

 

I have not used this long enough to give it 5 stars. What I can say about it is, the set up was quick and easy and the machine works well. We use it for financial stuff and for MS Office. For these tasks, it works well and is quick.

Good Product

 

This is the third laptop I received from B&H to be a Christmas present for my wife. The first two were Dell's that just didn't work out for one reason or another. Had I bought a more expensive Dell it might have been different. I settled on this Asus...

Way too loud!!

 

I really, really didn't like this ASUS laptop. It is too loud, the ventilation system is always on. It seemed like the fan was always on. This is a deal breaker for me. I don't want a new laptop that makes more noise than my old and cheap one.
