Review: Fantastic value PC! - First, let me explain that the five star rating is heavily based on the price, because if not $400 then the rating would vary. I'm definitely a bit on the geeky side, so searching for a new laptop for my nine and a half year old son was quite a drawn out process because of the budget I had set(or more accurately, my Wife had set). There were few choices that fit my criteria, and after much consideration I settled on the Asus. My criteria was as follows -Intel i3 3rd generation -4gb Ram or better -Windows 8(So he's on the same OS version I am) -at least 720p display -13 inch display or larger To be honest I'd had it narrowed down to this Asus model or Lenovo G series, but imported for the higher ram and lighter weight Asus. The i3 performs just as expected for an Ivy Bridge model. They are pretty snappy at everyday tasks such as web browsing, YouTube, Office programs, and the simple flash games and Minecraft that my Son enjoys. I opened it to check for any defects or damage and put it through all of these tasks that he regularly performs to be sure that it would suffice. The display is as good as any other that checked all of my criteria boxes. It's not gonna impress you in any way, but it's adequate. The display is definitely one of the biggest compromises when purchasing a laptop on a budget, so I don't expect to be wowed by anything in this price range. The addition of an optical drive is nice is suppose, but we'll most likely never use it. The 5400rpm hard drive is probably the biggest bottleneck in a PC at this price, and obviously this one is no exception. The sound they make as they hum along at snail speed is like nails on a chalkboard to me, lol. It's not whisper quiet but it's not loud either, I just personally despise not having an SSD in anything I use with few exceptions. I know it's probably crazy to most people to further invest in a laptop this cheap, but I may spring for a 256gb SSD after we recover from the holidays if I find a well priced open box or something. If he's going to be using this for a couple of years, the speed enhancement is justifiable in my opinion. The build quality and design... This is most definitely where Asus made the cost adjustments in order to bring the specs slightly above others in its price range. It's simple, plain, and really has nothing to stand out. It's an all plastic construction with a black power button that' wasn't immediately visible to me, but I have poor vision. It's not a slim profile, and I doubt a great deal of time was spent on design, which is perfectly acceptable given the specs vs the price. I'd say it's a trade off I'd agree with! The speakers are okay, they're loud enough but don't expect any bass or high quality music to pour out of the. I haven't found a laptop yet that couldn't use an external speaker addition. The keyboard is a chiclet style with good enough keys travel, it's not backlit of course, but it's tough to get that at this price. The trackpad seems to do its job too, it gives a loud and certain "click" when pressed, but it's sensitivity is good and it responds very well to all of the Windows 8 gestures. Overall, I'd say it's a definite "Go" for someone looking for a $400 laptop! I could easily use this myself for most basic tasks, and I think my Son will love it as his first PC! I really felt I needed to write a review of it for those that may have been hesitant to purchase such a low priced machine without any user reviews, as I know I was. But with realistic expectations, I don't see anyone being disappointed. I really hope this has helped some of you make your decisions. I'm not much of a reviewer, but I'd be happy to try and answer any questions.
Review: Cheap laptop for basic needs - This laptop was very much an impulse buy. I didn't do much research when I got it and the price was what got me mostly in and what makes this laptop worth it. I bought this particular laptop for the wrong reasons. If you plan to game on this laptop, save your money and go for another computer. This system was not made to game. While I can still play multiple games (World of Warcraft and League of Legends) on this laptop without much issue, my graphics are turned down to their lowest. My frame rate can very between 15 and 30 depending on what I am doing. I imagine that this system may be able to work with normal computer games better, but MMOs and other online games are meh. I bought this as an on-the-go gaming device. If you want something to do the basics and don't care much about graphics then sure, go for this. But don't expect much from it. The keyboard seems flimsy and a little unstable but does the job just fine. I generally hate all track-pads and use a wireless USB mouse instead, but this one is usable without much issue from what I've seen. The device itself lasts pretty long without being plugged in with lite usage (gaming not so much). It doesn't seem to overheat even during intense gaming sessions and runs very quietly If you are looking for a basic device to do basic computer work, this device will work for you just fine. However anything advanced, just go elsewhere. I regret this purchase for the reason that I wish I would have just gone with something with a little more power for gaming purses. BUT the device has not given me problem. The price was worth it for a basic laptop computer
