Most Favorable Review

Very nice Laptop, but weird speaker placement

ASUS Laptop Intel Core i5-3210M 4GB Memory 750GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4000 15.6" Windows 8 64-Bit A55A-AH51-BU

Pros: Great battery life (up to around 4hrs with light use). Good processor and Intel HD 4000 for enough graphics power for anyone that isn't a relatively higher end gamer. Asus SmartGesture is also nice.

Cons: Speakers are on the bottom for some reason (they don't seem like bad speakers, just poor placement) and the large fairly sensitive mouse takes some getting used to while typing (just need to keep your hands away from it so no major problem, but a bit annoying). I'm also not a fan of Windows 8 that came with it. I formatted it and dual booted it with Win7 and Linux Mint (had some issue cause I didn't realize I needed to change the partition table to deal with that, but otherwise went rather smoothly).

Most Critical Review

Works, but has issues

Pros: Easy to install in both Windows and Linux, and can make connections well.

Cons: Often find that its gotten stuck on something and takes it a minute to get unstuck. Won't send or receive anything well while stuck.
