Two stars? A "Don't Buy!" recommendaton? Uh-oh!
By JerryWithaJ
I am one of the closest things Asus has to a fan-boy without actually being one, so if I'm giving this notebook 2 stars, and recommending against buying it, something's up. That something is the trackpad.I like Asus products. Like may be too weak a word. I've bought well over a dozen netbooks and notebooks for myself, family, and friends. I'm very happy with their ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. Whenever I'm in the market for a product, I'll buy an Asus model if they make one. So, when I was looking for an i7 notebook, it was only natural that I'd get this one. It's i7 fast. While I wish the hard drive were larger, 500Gb is nothing to sneeze at. Nice screen. Fingerprint reader, if I ever decide I want to try it. But then there's that *&%&*% trackpad.It's hard to type a full paragraph without the cursor jumping around the page at some point. It's bad enough that I wish I'd never bought this machine. I'm getting really good at using Ctrl-z to erase the messes the trackpad makes.* It's not the driver. I've tried three different ones at all range of settings, all with the same results. Right now, I'm back to the original with Smart Detection as great as I can make it, and the cursor has still been jumping around nearly a dozen times (with me having to go back and make corrections) as I type this review.* I don't think it's me. As I've said, I've got a bunch of Asus notebooks and netbooks.* I don't think it's this particular machine because I've searched the Web to find others with the same complaint. If I turn off the trackpad and use a mouse, everything is fine, but if I wanted to turn off the trackpad and use a mouse, I'd have bought a laptop.Yes, it DOES NOT have a DVD drive. Other business models do, but this one does not, as can be seen on the Asus website. I'm guessing it's to keep the size and weight down, which is why I chose this model.Battery life is mediocre at under 3 hours, but such is the price of an i7 processor, I guess, and that's what I got this machine for...its speed. If I need more battery life, I'll grab a netbook.I could go on, but with the trackpad behaving the way it does and a "Don't buy!" recommendation, is there a point to it?[Here's a trick if you're stuck with this machine. When the cursor jumps while typing, press Ctrl-z until the cursor is back where you'd expected it to be. Then, press Ctrl-y to restore things to where they were just before the cursor started off on its own. Unfortunately, I've gotten waaaaaaaaaaaay too good at this!]-----------------------------Added in edit: I've upgraded my rating to three stars, but not through any fault of Asus's. Rather, it's due to my discovery of a great *free* utility called Touchpad Blocker, which locks the touchpad for a short period (from 0.1 sec to 3 sec; I like 1 sec) after a keyboard key is pressed. With the Touchpad Blocker utility, I'll give the B23E three stars, maybe four. Call it three for the moment.One of Touchpad Blocker's features is that it has an option to beep when the touchpad is blocked. I'll eventually turn it off, but I've found it useful to get a sense of when the touchpad is set off. Basically, the B23E's touchpad has a hair trigger. Even with the controls set for maximum palm detection, the slightest brush against it is registered as a tap.

ASUS THE GREAT
By J. Indsay
I have had no problems with this computer. It is very fast, light and I am enjoying it. Sorry that I am not a tech person, so someone else will have to tell you those things. I sure can say that I like ASUS products.
