This Asus is better than i thought it would be when i bought i. My complaints are the touch buttons on the mouse aspect are loud when you push down on them. And that same mouse bad is sensitive so i get bounced back to the start of the microsoft home screen. One more thing i am not fond of is the caps lock button. There isn't a feature that tells you if it is on or not. which isn't fun to punch in a password especially if it requires any capital letters. Other than that, i really enjoy the hd screen it's clear and the colors are bright. it was easy to set up, the sound quality is pretty good so listening to music and movies is clear and enjoyable. It has decent storage space for files, the battery last a decent time you get about 6 hours of life. I like how fast it is but i recently bought this so i haven't been able to judge what it's like after months of having it. The design is average. its sturdy . not heavy but not light either. I leave a lot of fingerprints on it when i close it. But it turns on quickly and is good for everyday use and functions.

This is a pretty great entry-level multimedia laptop, so long as you don't need a disk drive but I have one of those as an internal. The N series are all geared around multimedia, and this trims some of the bells and whistles that most wouldn't need into a more affordable product. It is surprisingly quiet, but what really sets this laptop apart is the sound system, letting you enjoy shows or movies with a lot of clarity, you don't have to use headphones just to hear basic music. The processor itself is last-generation, which means decent but not ultrabook-level battery life, but will keep up with just about anything a normal person would need to do. The integrated graphics are good for Windows, Linux or any normal program including light to medium gaming. The screen is not amazing, but not worse than anything else in this category in terms of color gamut/reproduction for photo editing. It has HD resolution, so videos and games look great. When it comes to the video card, it is integrated so you will be set for anything up to and including low to medium gaming.

I love the speed and ease of operating. Black Friday shopping, it was a great deal but I wasn't sure if it would hold up but it has. The most value for the money. Ease of Use great. pretty self explanatory. Battery Life better than most. last about 7-8 hours of continual use. Support & Service I had an issue and they fixed it fast. I called tech support and they explained where to send it postage paid free. I got it back within a week. So happy with the product. Speed/Performance speed is great never had any problems or lags like most laptops. Design very comfortable on your lap and it doesn't get hot. Durability I have bumped it a few times and it still works no problem there.

while it doesn't have a disc drive it does everything else and takes little time to do it. Battery Life it only last 1 to 2 hours Speed/Performance fast processor Design slick and light weight, flat low keys on the keyboard. Durability I haven't dared to test its limits but I have dropped it once or twice and nothing is wrong.

I have and Asus notebook with windows 8, and at first it was difficult for me to use. It took about 3 months for me to realize what I had. There are many apps installed on the notebook and it is great for the college student. Once I got the hang of going from one screen to the next I had a great time using the note book. It also made it easier for me to download my e books to reader and do my work with the book open, when I was done all I had to do was go back to reader and search for the chapter that I wanted to study, finals were easy as 1,2,3. My 13 year old son enjoyed the camera, once I learned how to review the pictures I also had a little fun with it. I also enjoy the Microsoft Office apps like solitaire, and x-box 360 that came already on the machine. I would recommend this product to any college, or high schools students. It is a great tool for a student. Ease of Use A person would have to explore a bit to become familiar with this product before it become easy to use. Speed/Performance I have had other machines that takes half of what this one takes before they start to slow down. Durability I have small children that have dropped and slammed my notebook around and it is still up and running.
