    5 out of 5 stars Good Price, AMAZING warranty, and Love in One 16" Package!   September 7, 2010
    Maksym Wysocki (Florida,USA)
    Great laptop! I had an initial problem when I started it up, BUT IT WAS A PERSONAL PROBLEM. The hard drive comes preinstalled with a partition, a big one! I mean they gave me ~ 130 GB for OS & program files and then ~ 370 GB of free space. I did not like this partition because after installing all my programs and games I had about 30 GB of free space left on my OS drive (C:). Plus all the document files were linked to the C and I had to put them on the D because I have ~ 290 GB of personal files. Anyway I called them up and it was AMAZING! All I had to do was boot up hold F9 (I think) and it has the restore installed already into it. I restored with no partitions and now it runs and feels amazing. I think this may be a Windows 7 thing, but I am not sure.
    Another thing that amazed me is the 1 year of accidental spill and drop protection. When you get the computer ASUS even gives you another year (I think) if you fill out the registration within 30 days of purchase. Oh and when I called to get my problem solved customer service was amazing! Quick, to the point and with the right solution!
    AMAZING SOUND!



    5 out of 5 stars Great machine with a few problems   September 6, 2010
    atsackett
    I bought the machine after months of looking around, and I was really pleased with the guts that I was getting for the price. The machine runs well, except for a few times when it auto updates and stops you from what you are doing. I've only had to perform a hard shutdown once in the first month of owning the machine. Very Pleased.

    After doing some research on product reliability as well as studying customer and tech reviews, I felt like this was the laptop for me. Fast processor, good amount of RAM, and plenty of hard drive space were the features I was looking for in a moderately priced laptop. Basically the most bang for my buck. But most of all reliability. I don't want to have to replace my laptop after 2 or 3 years. Heck, I'm still using my antiquated, 8-year old SONY desktop. And I hate having to send anything back for warranty work or spending time on the phone with tech support. So far this laptop has lived up to my expectations; no problems. It even has a 1 year replacement warranty if you drop it or spill something on it. I'm clumsy. I use it for work running some complex emergency response programs and for play. Mostly browsing the internet doing product research for potential purchases, e-mail, and watching movies. I don't have to have blu-ray on my laptop to enjoy a movie on it. It comes with some fancy audio system that doesn't seem to produce a better sound than any other laptop, but I always use a set of basic headphones anyways. It also comes with an alternate fast boot for quick surfing of the internet, skype, and access to photos and music without entering the Windows operating system. As far as gaming, I'm not much of one, but I've been meaning to do some so I like the fact that it comes with the NVidia graphics card for when I do. All in all it's a perfect laptop for me. The only reason I give it four stars is the battery life. It has to be fully charged in order for me to watch a movie without having to plug it in. Hopefully, ASUS will offer a longer lasting battery for these models. But seeing how this is my first laptop I don't know if that is typical battery performance compared to other notebooks. Good Buy.

    This is a great laptop. Big enough serve in place of a desktop, small enough to tote around. Great features and functions, not much bloatware to remove. Great value.


    4 out of 5 stars Bought as a deal, not perfect but definitely above average   August 21, 2010
    Andrew Paquette (Virginia, USA)

    OK, so I bought my laptop through Amazon's warehouse deals and was excited to get a laptop with so many features at a good price. For the price you have to admit you're getting a lot, the i5 processor is what sold me, and the graphics card was a definite plus. All that said, I've had my share of issues with this laptop since purchasing it. Once the laptop arrived I was so excited, I got it out of the box and had to start messing with it. After about 30 minutes I was pulled away to have dinner, and when I got done I went to mess around with the laptop and that's when the trouble began.

    The infamous "blue screen" shocked me since it was a new laptop, and I figured, ok, let's restart and hope for the best. After restarting, using the laptop for 5-10 minutes and getting another blue screen a total of 7 times (I know I'm a sucker for punishment) I decided I needed to get professional help. After calling the ASUS tech support (which isn't an easy task) I finally was told to send the laptop in for maintenance.

    After waiting 2 weeks to get my new (ish?) laptop back I was excited again and luckily everything has been ok since, but the initial problems have left me a little gun-shy. I'm no IT professional or Computer Science major or anything like that, but when I read the maintenance notes that they left with my laptop that said they had to replace the motherboard, it seems like their quality control could use some work.

    **SO to wrap it all up, this is a nice machine, looks slick, has cool features, but be careful and make sure you register the warranty AND ADW.
