ASUS Laptop K50I-RBBGR05 Intel Pentium dual-core T4400 (2.20 GHz) 3 GB Memory 320 GB HDD Intel GMA 4500M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium

Pros: Great price for a refurb. Fast dual core processor. Nice roomy hard drive. Screen looks amazing. Plenty of USB ports.

Cons: Bloatware.

Overall Review: Anyone who rated this laptop less than 4 stars must have everything in their lives spoon fed to them. This is a great laptop for the price. And even though it is a refurb, it came to me like brand new and everything worked right out of the box.

Pros: I've had this laptop for a week now and I'm really liking it. Very stable, never have had a crash and it runs very fast. Start up is alright, and just an all around good laptop.

Cons: No Bluetooth, that caused me a few days without my wireless mouse, and because it is Windows 7 it was very hard to find drivers for my bluetooth adapter. The battery life isnt that great even when I set it on low power use.

Overall Review: Other then those two Cons, I love it, a great deal for a Asus laptop.

Pros: I really like finding Recertified deals like these. You mostly get the bugs fixed and it comes with almost everything that a new one would get. This particular model comes with 4 USB ports and this oen came wiht 4 GB Of Memory.

Cons: When I received it, the Hard Drive bay was not fastened down properly so during shipping the hard drive separated from the SATA connection. I was finally able to figure out how to get to the Hard Drive and with spare screws attached the hard drive bay to the laptop properly.

Overall Review: You get the power supply, power cord, and laptop. But you most likely get whatever updates to Hard Drive or memory the previous owner had.

Pros: Nice, uncluttered design with good performance for a price that is hard to beat (refurb @ $279). Making the backup discs was effortless. Nothing to uninstall. Camera software was nice with interesting features such as face tracking which works well.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I ordered this for my mother-in-law and needed something that was easy for her to use and this fit the bill at the right price. Wish I had ordered two now so I could have one. Probably won't find a similar good deal without standing in line somewhere at 2 in the morning...oh well. Will hope Newegg gets another shipment of these in soon. Becoming an ASUS fan with this one.

Pros: had the k61I-X3 model - work like it supposed to

Cons: worked up until one month before the warranty expires my screen started flashing and blacking out tried all their trouble shooting methods customers service sucks...

Overall Review: reported problem before the warranty expired all i got was please email your a copy of your invoice and so i emailed a copy but everything i emailed came back in an error so i was told to fax it and i faxed went through but they said they never received it so been to told email a copy again and guess what an error message came back... its been back and forth for a month and guess warranty is about to expire i'm sure they might finally receive it after it has already expire and say that they are sorry and that my warranty has already expired...been a loyal customer too built 4 custom ASUS desktop gaming set-ups and also bought 4 ASUS laptops for my wife and siblings i will never buying ASUS products again

Pros: I wanted a cheap laptop I could put Ubuntu on. Version 10.10 installed without a hitch and everything is just working, no having to download extra drivers or anything. Sound, video, 3D acceleration, special keys, and lots of other things that can be a pain on Ubuntu worked just fine after the installation.

Cons: The only problem I've noticed is that the webcam is installed upside-down. It works on Windows because Asus installed drivers to flip it back, but there's no obvious way to do this on Ubuntu. Not a big deal for me since I already have a better-quality USB cam I was planning on using anyway.

Overall Review: Nice keyboard layout, I love the numeric keypad, and it runs surprisingly cool. I'm not finding the touchpad to be sensitive as other reviewers say.

Pros: I have owned this laptop for almost a year now and besides the typical DVDRW drive not being recognized in windows until rebooting, and the sensitive touch pad, this thing is PERFECT for people that like to do work on their notebooks and keep them on for a long period of time. I keep my laptop on just about all day and sometimes through the night. It runs flawlessly and has froze up on me one time since I have owned it. I do webdesign, use photoshop, microsoft office, excel, etc. and this thing is perfect for that with 3GB of RAM being more then enough. Go with Asus, they are top of the list when buying a notbook.

Cons: Sensitive touch pad. (sometimes when typing a paper or whatnot you might tap the touch pad by mistake and end up erasing all your wording. I have done that more then once haha but you get used to it after a while) The only other problem I have had with my refub notebook is the DVDRW drive sometimes does not get picked up in Windows, but that could be a Windows problem, not necessarily an issue with the notebook.

Overall Review: I have had 2 other laptops and the is by far the best, it runs VERY cool and quite too. I am so happy with these notebooks, I will be getting 2 more for XMas gifts for my dad and pop. Cheers!

Pros: Asus is one of the most reliable brands on the market. I couldn't even tell this was a refurb. Boots fast, nice processor, nice amount of ram, 64 bit windows 7. Refurb items dont come with restore cd's but this laptop has a nifty little piece of asus software that allows you to make an exact copy of your laptop onto dvds! Dualboots nicely with fedora core 13, wifi works flawlessly. Great with Photoshop, Great for burning dvd's. Roxio dvd software allready installed. ALSO, this laptop does not get hot! Ive used 2000 dollar macbooks that burn my legs!

Cons: I like the glossy finish, it attracts fingerprints though, wouldnt really consider it a con.

Overall Review: The trackpad was too sensitive for me, if it is for you then go to the trackpad settings menu and adjust it. I do love the multi-touch features though.
