Nice computer. We only used it in front of the TV at night to read. and to play DVDs on

Bought it in 11/2012 and in little over a year the hard drive has failed. Now its not under warranty. Very sad

I like this computer, if there is no blue screen

Blue screen

I've seen a lot of people that have bought this laptop complain about how bad it is with gaming, streaming video online, etc ; People, this is a cheap 300 dollar laptop, it has a good amount of memory for its price and specs, but this computer is NOT...

So before you rag on Asus because they made a cheap affordable computer for basic computer users, do your research, and it's your own fault that you bought something that's not going to give you what you want out of it. You just bought a Camry to race...

Cheap ; Seems as though it has good specs ; cool ; quiet

Lag - to an unbearable extent, even after removal of bloatware, watching a youtube video is laggy and uses 100% of the CPU ; Bloatware - there is a lot of it ; APU - I was under the impression that it had a CPU and a separate grapgics card ; I am very...

At the time only paid 350$ so pretty cheap for a laptop. Better after u remove all trash tho

La-aa-a-ag. There is SO much lag. I uninstalled most, if not all of the bloatware, and it still lags. Even plugged in and on the High Performance setting, the stuttering is terrible. For me to get anything done, I can only have one application open at...

Price ; Price ; Decent performance after tweeks ; Full keyboard ; Lightweight

Performance prior to tweeks ; Below average speakers, even for a laptop

Good for simple things like surfing the internet and checking email

It has problems streaming Netflix in HD because the processor is a little slow. Lowering the bandwidth Netflix uses solved that problem though

Inexpensive, good for general internet browsing, and word processing. Resolution and graphics on it are decent

The speakers, as mentioned already, are not very good. They don't get very loud. If there's other people in the room having a conversation and a window fan running, it'll be hard to hear music or videos even with the volume at 100 ; The HDD is probably...

I received my good looking notebook and have been busy installing those apps I like on it. So far-so good. I do get a pop-up reminding me to burn DVD for Recovery purposes. I did have 6 of these CDs ready for this proceedure but only had to use 4 ; I...

I have to check out the notebook more fully to reply to this because there are several features that I have not yet tried
