![]() ![]() Anyone looking at this laptop, be careful! You're in for a BIG headache and don't expect help from Asus with the measly 3 month warranty.AMD Technology Company is one of the top microprocessor producing company nowadays. I think this was the last chance I'll ever give an Asus product. I know Asus generally has a good reputation but I've never had good luck with their products (optical drives aside). I see why it's so cheap for such great specs. When it works, it's quite fast but it is so hard to use, and full of bugs, that it's just plain torture. Overall this is one of the worst laptops I've worked with (and I've worked with a lot). I wish it had a software option to scroll using the edges, like many older touchpads did. It is very imprecise and hard to control. The "multi-touch" feature is annoying to use and horrible for scrolling. Overall Review: And the touchpad, even when working, is horrid. Bright colors cause a weird, almost grainy look, that is horribly ugly. A fresh install does appear to fix it but that's hard with no recovery disc!Īlso I don't like the look of the screen at all. I'm fairly sure it is a software problem but have yet to figure out what is causing it. Also it's filled with unnecessary extra programs (like most laptops).Īlso, there's the VERY common “horizontal lines on the screen” issue. The included program will just burn useless discs because of the reconditioning process. Secondly, there is no recovery CD/DVD or even a way to make one. Obviously it was never tested before shipping, after being reconditioned. I had to take the thing completely apart to get the touchpad working. For starters, mine came with a broken touchpad. When things work, this laptop is very fast, except for video performance.Ĭons: Unfortunately this laptop is riddled with flaws and is overall one of the most horrible laptops I've used. This drive has 4GB of flash memory to help speed it up quite a bit. Though the description does not mention it, they come with the Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid hard drive. I would recomend it to all my friends and family. However for a versatile laptop this is the King of Kings. Its just lacking a bit in that department. Overall Review: If gamming is your primary purpose I would recomend going with a laptop with better onboard video. I believe that you could easily have made a selection for 512 and still have more then plenty of RAM for everything else. 6gb is alot of RAM and its sad that only 256mb is for video. The other bad thing is I wish it had more shared on board memory to the video or atleast a option to change it. I do believe it can go 3 or 4 if the setting were down lower and WiFi was off. On MAX performance setting it only lasts 2 hours, luckly I am not away for that long from an outlet. And it runs alot of new games such as WOW and SC2 with medium graphics no problem.īest of all, apperently I got a never been used model because it still had the recovery partion on it and a letter came with the laptop stating that the whole hdd was wiped clean and that there wasnt a recovery partition on it.Ĭons: I really only have two problems with the laptop but not nesscary bad things just something to consider when purchasing it. ![]() The screen is awesome and great for watching movies and netflixs. The 6gb ram is more then enough to run anything I need and still not slow down the computer. It offers the mobility of a laptop but with the power of a desktop. I am currently a volunteer youth leader for two different churches and I tend to move arround alot. It does everything that I need it to do and more. After getting the computer it started up and worked up nicely. Pros: I was at first hesitent about getting a recertified laptop but I trust newegg and love Asus.
