Amazing Deal
By Jake
Let me start off by saying that this is the first laptop I have ever owned for myself. I have been working on computers for over 18 years but have never had a need for a laptop for personal or work use ( work ones were provided by the company ) before now.I bought this laptop for use in school. Currently I use this laptop for Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop CS5. It runs them all without a hitch. The specs on this laptop are amazing for the price. Asus gave me a free 1 year Accidental Damage Warranty with the purchase ( not sure if that is standard forever or a short time thing so do not quote me on it if you buy it after this review ).The battery options are pretty good for saving power when off charge, when I am at school all day using it I can set it to battery saver and still have a charge at the end of the day.The keyboard is nice and the 10 key pad is a nice addition to someone like me that is using a lot of number input at school ( the keypad is smaller than I am used to but with the laptop not being a 17" screen the fact that they put a 10 key on it is impressive ) and is something I am thankful for every time I have to put numbers into a spreadsheet.The CPU is great for running the apps I need to use daily. Boot times are fast, Not a ton of bloatware loaded from the factory. I did remove the games and a few other things on the laptop that took up space and I would never need but the process was simple and quick. The recovery disks took 2.5 hours to burn when I first got it so be ready to spend some time on that. Installing Office, VB2008 and MSDN Library was quick from CD.Overall I am very happy with this laptop. Coming from someone that has almost always been ANTI-Laptop, If you need this for school, work or average personal use then this is a solid choice to make.One last thought, I have not played any games on this machine at all because that is not what I purchased it for. I have a desktop at home that has the setup to play games when I choose to so I can not say if it will run common games like WoW and the like.

dependable, fast with international warranty
By Carl Soon
Ok, for those who would actually read this review, I should write something about my reason for buying and what I'm going to use this notebook for.I have an older notebook but accidentally dropped it causing the liquid crystal display to break. Hence, I rushed logging on and look for a laptop on a budget. All I'm really using the notebook is for me to video chat, surf the net, facebook, maybe watch Netflix streaming, type and print documents or pics using my Home Network Printer, photo downloads, etc. I won't play hardcore games on this netbook nor doing video convertion or even splicing mp3's.As a basic specification, I'm looking for a laptop with at least 4GB of RAM. That also means I want Win 7 64bit edition. I heard that this ver of Windows is faster than Vista so I want to give it a try. (I don't want Mac) I also need at least 15" display because I have poor eyesight. I don't care about how heavy or bulky it is. I don't care about how large the hard drive because I have 1 TB in my desktop and don't really use most of it. The most important for me is the warranty. Most offer US only warranty. But I'm planning to travel to Phil (my original country) during Spring '11. Since I'm apparently clumpsy, I'm willing to shell out for extra warranty.Alas, I found this ASUS 15.6" notebook with already built in International Warranty and Spill Warranty. Jackpot! I checked the other specs and looks fine with me. So I ordered it immediately, not looking for the other specials going around due to Black Friday or Cyber Monday events. Less than $600 to boot. Good enough for me. WOOT!! Also, registering the product with ASUS and they'll give you extra warranty. I have to check on this though and wait for their response. Sounds too good...I got this on Dec 1 and did the set up and everything. Perfect. It's fast enough for me. After the set up, I tried to time the boot time. I couldn't see the Bios stuff since it loads to Win 7 immediately. I do have to choose my profile and password (my idiosyncracy). Overall, complete loading of all stock programs at start up is impressive. I haven't timed it perfectly but I'm pretty sure it's under 1 min... possibly around 40 sec. I did the back- up recovery thing to load the factory settings. That took 2 hours and 4 blank DVD +R. You may use DVD -R too but I only have the +R. That includes several minutes of inactivity because I forgot that the disc is full and need to insert new disc. ASUS doesn't provide a recovery disc so you have to do this first. Especially if you're a user like me that deletes programs that I don't use. I might delete something that could crash the system.As for the add on programs... well, it's a convenience. Haven't tried all of them. I may not going to use them too. I did delete skype, ebay, amazon kindle and added mozilla. I never liked IE and would never use it. Tried the video chat with google, pretty much standard. Nothing to rave but there's nothing to complain too which is a good thing. Cyberlink Power2Go 6.1 is pre- installed which is used for disc burning. There's a Trend Micro Anti- virus program good for 6 month trial. There's a Microsoft Office 2010 starter. If you have a license code, you may activate the full feature of Office 2010. I'm still thinking about it. There's an ASUS data security which allows me to password protect certain files. I checked the copyright and it stated 2006. Wow... that's old. As long as it still works I guess. So much for programs. Nothing really stands out. There are more but don't know what they're for or I might have deleted them already. Win 7 is great (my first time using it) but everyone knows that by now (unless you're a die hard mac... but you shouldn't be reading this review anyway).Hardware. The screen size is great. It's widescreen 16:9 format. The keyboard has a numpad! That's great. The mousepad has corrugation so it has a more 'feel' than others. I like it. Wifi compatible with b/g/n signal. I had no problem searching for my Home Network as well as the network at the office. Webcam is fine. It's not meant to take great pics though. Just be wacky with the software and make faces. Card reader is ok. I don't have anything to test it with so I really don't know but I'm guessing it's fine. Processor, Graphics, RAM, Hard disc space.... this is too subjective but all is acceptable for what I'm using this for. Bluetooth.... where's the bluetooth... couldn't find one.... oh wait, there's no bluetooth!!!! That's sucks a lot. Hence, 1 star off this laptop. No BLUETOOTH? That's like the standard of everything.Ok, so I guess that's everything I can think of. Nothing technical and everything I check works. No hiccups. I added my Canon MP560 driver which would add another program for the start up. Nothing change in the time of boot up. Kudos to that. I updated win 7 and so far so good. Haven't seen an error anywhere. I opened up several programs (Firefox with 4 tabs, Media player, a few directories, inserted a thumbdrive, playing background music from external drive and transfering small files in between while doing video chatting on google (also writing this review, facebook, browsing). No hiccups. Media player didn't even skip a beat.

By Matthew K. Polansky
Great computer. Love everything about it. Quality is much better than most major brands like HP, Dell, etc. It is also less expensive. Highly recommend. The only bad thing is the speakers don't get quite as loud as I would like but that is ok. In case you didn't know ASUS manufactures awesome motherboards for computers. I build my own computers and have used there products for many years.
