We had been looking for an upgrade to our computer set for awhile (our “old” laptop had stickers that it was designed for Windows 98, ME, or 2000) and we checked out all of the box stores. However, when looking at any computer, realize what their extended warrenty plan covers, if it is fixed locally, and what you truly receive if something goes wrong and what outside supplier (refurb machine). This Asus come with a full 2-yr plan directly through them as part of the price!

The multi-drive rocks and is so fast. The full keypad makes a huge difference and the new i3 processor is VERY responsive. It has plenty of ports, tons of storage space (500 GB), and Windows 7 is a breeze to work with. The larger screen looks great with movies as well. I know that you can get a machine for less money (and we found a lot of them), but when I figured in what was offered and the reputation of Asus and the overall cost, it is actually less.

Hopefully, you get yours in as great a shape as mine was and as timely (only 2 days via super-saver). Also, it just LOOKS fast and slick.

ASUS was recommended by three computer geeks that I know and so instead of re-DELLing I thought I’d try the ASUS.

The first one I purchased was a total lemon. It starting crashing (blue screen)about a week after using it and their very helpful tech peeps couldn’t figure out why. I sent it into their tech center and it was returned “repaired”. Unfortunately it had the same problem so I sent it back to Amazon.

I loved the layout of the keyboard and the feel of it so a purchased another identical model (risky and unusual move). This one works great (so far, one month into it). I think the first one was just a lemon-it happens.

Both Amazon and ASUS made every effort to “make it right” and I’m satisfied!
