We've had it more than a year and it still works reasonably well. Took it on a vacation trip and it's normally used for light business, basic web surfing and for family picture taking. It does what it does well and that's all we've wanted

If you're a gamer you really don't want anything like this. The touch pad is flaky, but then I never cared much for laptop pads anyway and use a wireless external mouse. Leaning palm weight, particularly on the left side, on the panel beside the...

Nice Price for a decent performing laptop

Received and set up laptop and immediately got message that windows wasn't genuine. Tried to go through the online support channel and got three different responses from three different techs telling me to do the same thing again and again. This...

It didn't work long enough

died after 1 day

I wanted a cheap laptop I could put Ubuntu on. Version 10.10 installed without a hitch and everything is just working, no having to download extra drivers or anything. Sound, video, 3D acceleration, special keys, and lots of other things that can be a...

The only problem I've noticed is that the webcam is installed upside-down. It works on Windows because Asus installed drivers to flip it back, but there's no obvious way to do this on Ubuntu. Not a big deal for me since I already have a better-quality...

processor, non-glare screen, windows 7, graphics, camera (once you get it working)

had to update all the drivers. camera picture was upside down. you HAVE to use 2 fingers to scroll for the touchpad. had to download 72 windows updates - the computer SHOULD have came ready to use

big screen, not too heavy, no recovery disk

Fast, fully featured, 64bit OS, light and strong/well built. I like the graphite look even though I'm not normally a fan of "shiny". Very nice screen and a decent keyboard layout.... Full size keys too! Wireless connected to my router flawlessly. All...

As others have mentioned the track pad is overly sensitive, unit is great with a mouse but that kind of negates the whole laptop idea. ASUS lost one egg because of this

Nice screen, nice keyboard, fast processor, easy set up, well made

lots of random "extra" software; not a big deal

Very Fast, Very Quite, Backlit Screen

None

Impressive product thus far. It's dual core processor was a massive upgrade from her previous computer (which was a dinosaur, so she'd just use my desktop). It's connectivity to WiFi hotspots is simple and easy to use for her, which surprised her, lol....

For the price, you get what you pay for, so no real complaints that would actually matter
