Awesome BUY!

Overall I had a really great experience with this laptop. Bought for school and the net, but found myself playing games on it and it plays well!
-Pretty fast for price
-Awesome features(face recognition software and others)
-Love the rock solid design and looks Slick & Nice!
-Great Portability and LOVE the mouse and case it comes with. Small and light for travels.
-Plays all my games perfectly from Starcraft to Warcraft3(Dota) and from Counter Strike Source(40-60fps on High) to COD4 (30-45fps on high and 45-60fps on Medium)
-Speakers are Good enough for listening to music in my room, which I am quite surprised how loud it is for its price.
-Screen looks nice and bright.
-Love the number of ports(but wish it had a HDMI) and the Wifi is actually good!
-Gets BARELY warm!(I mean I spent 5-6hours on it playing CS:S and it was never noticeably warm at all, but when you check the vent it kinda warm, but doesnt bother you at all also runs perfectly.
-Great buy for PRICE!

-Some Bloatware(But easily removed in 10-15mins. Office trial took the longest)
-When moving the screen below 50-60degrees makes it automatically go on stand by which is kinda annoying for me, but for some others like my sister not that annoying.
-Kinda slow at first because of the Bloatware, but after uninstalling it, its way faster but still get jumps from 10% to 40% and oddly to 80% CPU usage from doing nothing.
-Ctrl key and Fn key are switched, which makes cs difficult but got used to it fast.
-Kinda slow when multi-tasking but handles it very well when you learn how to use it.
-Now I am just nit-picking lol. So overall the Cons are minamal at worst. So buyer don't worry its a great laptop for portability and power.

Man I am really happy with what I bought. Cheap and powerful is all I need since I am a poor college student. Had to use Fin-Aid for this lol.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

Great computer, great system, good price for what it's capable of.

In less than a month of having the computer it crashed with what I later found out to be a common problem with ASUS laptops. Won't boot and says it needs the boot disc. When run with boot disc it will then display in huge red letters "ERROR". Anyway had to send it back to ASUS to have it fixed.

I really liked this computer until it crashed. If when I get it back and it runs fine for more than a couple years than I might recommend it.
