Amazing bargain, almost perfect.
- Pros: The price. A comparable Dell system would be $2000+
This thing is the best balance of portable and powerful you could hope to find. The size is just right, not ultraportable but not too big. It's nice and light too. And the WXGA+ screen is very hard to find in a laptop priced this low. Full size keyboard makes typing very easy. The ATI X1700 video card is very capable when paired with this system - I ran Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 on it at high settings without a hitch... high FPS count. And on top of that, while the side exhaust was hot, the laptop itself stayed cool! Comes with a 2 year parts and labor warranty. The extras are nice... a decent case, and a decent mouse. Windows CD is included, which is nice because I hate dealing with recovery partitions. Excellent laptop for the price.
- Cons: While I can't stress enough how happy I am with this laptop, nothing in this world is perfect, so here's the downside:
-Battery life: only lasts about 2-2.5 hours.
-Screen: Bright, crisp and beautiful - but the viewing angle isn't great.
-Keyboard: full size is nice, but the row of keys bordering the outside of the keyboard's right side is annoying because I usually automatically go there for the backspace key (which is just inside of that outer row)... and like everyone's mentioned, the function key is in the bottom left corner, with the ctrl key next to it. Irritating. And then the windows key is right next to the smallish ctrl key, meaning I hit it by mistake sometimes when gaming. Also irritating.
-Touchpad: looks cool being flush with the rest of the laptop, and with it's integrated buttons... but I'd rather have a pad where I can really feel the outer borders. Right now I tend to hit it with my palm when I'm typing, which makes my cursor move around. Distinct buttons
- Other Thoughts: Ran out of space... continuing here.
Also, while built well, the chassis does seem a bit flexible, so this isn't a beater... treat with care, at least somewhat. And the outside tends to scratch easily.
Other downside: 1GB of RAM, 2GB max. This is the ONLY downside in the specs. It runs great now but I'm still planning on buying 2GB of RAM and selling my current sticks.
Overall though, this laptop is GREAT, with an amazing price and specs and great extras. Amazing capabilities and a really great balance of portability and performance. I bought it and don't regret it.
Elite Laptop for Ninja's
- Pros: This thing is brutal. It takes on everything I have thrown at it without a flinch. Plays CS Source, BF2 and FEAR on max settings. It is fast but it still runs quiet. Excellent build quality and light weight. Definatly ninja material. Keyboard has a great feel. Has many USB ports. Bluetooth is a plus. Webcam is also works well in good lighting. This is a serious laptop that is great for gaming, travel and whatever you need to use a laptop for. It will take care of business. The price is a steal. Asus is going to become a threat to the rest of the laptop manufactures. This is an impressive laptop. Vista makes it even better.
- Cons: Screen could be a little better but is not a problem by any means. Mouse pad button should be a split design and easier to press down but thats what double tapping is for. Had a few issues with mouse sensitivity settings not staying. Also the computer would not stay in standby and hibernation. It would awake on its own a few minutes after. Im sure there is a fix for that though. Overall there is nothing wrong with this laptop. I would say it's flawless in my opinion.
- Other Thoughts: I installed 2GB of OCZ Ram a few days after I recieved the laptop. Then I updated BIOS to 1.8 Then Vista arrived so I did a clean install and everything loaded up without a problem. Everything works great, even better than it did on XP. I would recommend a Vista clean install. It cleaned things up and it boots and runs even faster. I was happy with the system when I got it and now Im blow away. Vista put this computers potential to use. Just do it and buy it, overnight this badboy. It's worth it.

Excellent notebook
- Pros: An excellent notebook that's loaded for the price. Screen is good but not great when it comes to viewing angles. Minimal bloatware as compared to other brands (Dell).
- Cons: The screen as noted earlier.
The touchpad does take a bit getting used to. Learn the doubletap quick or just use the included mouse.
Sweet
- Pros: What a laptop, this little baby can load XP Media Center quick and run smooth just like my gaming Desktop. Although I have not tried playing any gamings on it, but you can run WinDVD8 MSNmessenger Internet Explorer and Gimp at the same time with out any slow downs. Built in mic and webcam is sweet two, though you need to adjust the web cam to get good picture. Intel Pro Wireless works really well, I can get excellent signal from the second floor of the house which is very useful. LCD screen is good not great, although I used to my 19" DVI LCD 1440x900 screen. Also the DVD drive is Lightscribe capable apparently.
- Cons: The pre-installed software that came with the laptop are out dated and unnecessary, so uninstalling them is a hassle. (Note: make sure what the app does before uninstalling) Media Center has problems with the video card so it doesn't work at first, probably need to install an other driver.
- Other Thoughts: The bag that comes with it is nice and the mouse is tiny so I guess it's useful for on the road. The tough pad needed to get adjust for sensitivity for my taste, default settings was not right at all I think. Overall Great buy.
pleased
- Pros: Fast processor, nice video card, built in microphone and camera are cool. Played Call of Duty 2 at 1440x900 and it ran great. I was pretty impressed.
- Cons: Slow hard drive. 2 sticks of 512mb ram, means its hard to upgrade. Not the most solidly built laptop. Don't get me wrong, its not a piece of junk, but it is not meant to be thrown around. Handle with care. Mouse pad is annoying, hard to push buttons and goofy scroll bar.
- Other Thoughts: So far I have been very happy with this machine. Many people have complained about the screen, it does have limited viewing angles, but the resolution is high and picture is excellent. The screen is just fine. This laptop may have some flaws, but if you are able to get past those, then this is quite a computer.
