lasts forever
Pros: durability, battery life, weight
Cons: slow performance
Overall Review: perfect for students.
Great while it lasted
Pros: great for gaming
Cons: low screen resolution, horrific battery life, unreliable, bad warranty
Overall Review: this laptop didn't last and it cost a fortune. The warranty was worthless, needed hundreds of dollars in repairs and took a long time to turn it around but because it was literally days after the warranty expired even though I opened the ticket before the warranty expired, ASUS charged me. I hate ASUS, they treat customers like garbage.
CD drive is loud, very old machine, wifi doesn't stay connected
Pros: fast, durable, tons of ports
Cons: Wifi sucks. This was a windows 7 machine originally-its very old and heavy and clunky. If I'd realized How old I would have bought something else. Refurb was fine
Overall Review: I would not recommend this-get something newer and lighter. These machines are 5-7 years old, if I'd realized I'd have bought another machine.
After 1 DOA, working one has horrible back bleed, awful display, bad quality control
Pros: Performance
Cons: Durability, Screen, battery life, build quality, display, sound, size, weight
Overall Review: Yes, it runs games great, if it works, but the build quality and screen quality are terrible. The first one was completely dead. Second one works but the monitor has horrible back bleed, making anything slightly dark look like garbage. Also, the mouse button on the second one didn't work! Asus must be going way downhill, returning TWO of their laptops now, definitely going with a different brand.
Long lasting, great performance.
Pros: Work great, no issues, long lasting
Cons: none
Overall Review: I bought these in 2010. I'm writing this in 2015, several mother boards later. They work perfectly.
Garbage
Pros: large storage area
Cons: unreliable, faulty, slow
Overall Review: Slow, died after a year
