Pros: Small portable size. Responsive touchscreen.

Cons: Poor battery life, about 2.5 hours for mine. Very cheap plasticky feel, (you get what you pay for). Lousy hard drive.

Overall Review: I posted a review soon after I bought this, and would like to post an update. The hard drive on this thing is abysmal. After using it for a while, the wait times became unbearable. I purchased an inexpensive SSD, followed some YouTube instructions, cloned the hard drive to the SSD and installed it. I spent an entire Sunday afternoon and the $$ for the SSD to make this laptop usable. I would not recommend anyone to buy it. Spend more and get something else.

Pros: will be ok if not failed display

Cons: screen blinking

Overall Review: After 3 month of use screen begin blinking with no reason probably defective panel, because it works with external display, I don't know what to do, 90 day warranty is over.

Pros: Small. Battery life is adequate. Low price.

Cons: This is the worst computer I've ever bought. It came loaded with garbage, and that garbage is causing all kinds of problems with my browser. If I'd known somebody was going to decide what apps I should have on my computer, I would have found a different one, one that came with simply an OS and a word processing suite. Furthermore, the documentation that came with it isn't even a joke, The quick start sheet listed what looked like hyperlinks to places to go and get information on how to start up .... yeah, wouldn't you have to have already started up to get there? Those "links" weren't really links though. They were titles for hyperlinks that had no associated URLs because ... duh .. they were on a piece of paper. So far I'm not even able to successfully use Chrome, because the malware that came preloaded on the computer knocked out my extensions and won't let me reload them. The fact that other people share my misery helps not even one bit. My next option is to see if someone with more skill than I have can blow everything away and load a decent OS that isn't riddled with apps I don't want and, worse yet, pseudo apps that are nothing more than advertising for apps or software I'd have to purchase.

Overall Review: I wish I hadn't bought this doorstop. I'm still using my ancient desktop and laptop computers, because this one was made for your advertisers, not for me.

Pros: It works with power adopter.

Cons: Dead battery. It dose not charge, I can use it only with power adopter. I'm waiting Newegg's RMA response.

Pros: +Acceptable speed. (unlike earlier Atoms) +Enough RAM (4GB; I avoid anything that ships with 2GB...) +Plenty of space.* +Screen is bright and vibrant enough. Resolution is more than adequate for this size. +Gets 4-4.5 hours on battery in default configuration doing very light web browsing. +It has a network port, enough USB ports, and they are spaced nicely. You can plug two bulky flashdrives in side-by-side, which is more than I can say about most Macs. +Awesome price. ($239.99 CAD! Wow!)

Cons: -Not really very serviceable. -It's a pain to get this thing open... no simple panel to unscrew. You'll likely leave marks around the edges of the case prying it loose. -The battery is internal, hence no upgrading to a bulky 6 or 8 cell to more than double the battery life. -It's using a spinning hard drive. (Hitachi 5400RPM in mine.) Potentially vulnerable to shock. Mine was clacking whenever it was on a slight angle. I'll likely replace it with an SSD to give my netbook some more oomph and myself some more peace of mind. In the meantime, I'll check the SMART stats periodically. -Intel HD graphics not intended for gaming - and rather weak even for those due to its TDP.

Overall Review: -Keyboard is fine. Would like a numpad, but I've never seen one on this formfactor, hence not really a negative point. -Didn't test speakers. -Should be fine for movies on a plane and stuff. I got it for network testing. It's very portable and has enough connections. There's enough space to load a few OS's, even though it's slow spinner space.

Pros: The computer works well when you get a refurbished model that is truly refurbished and everything is working.

Cons: Out of 24 of this model purchased for use in projects in Africa: 8 have batteries that will not take a charge. 2 came with incorrect power supplies. 1 had a stuck "S" key and the power indicator light didn't come on. 1 had a mouse track pad that didn't click. 1 worked at first, then stopped working entirely.

Overall Review: When these computers work, they are a good deal. The refurbishing process should at least catch the problems with the batteries not charging. 11 problem computers out of 24 is too much. I will be contacting Asus for repairs or replacement.

Pros: Tackles word processing, web surfing, and low intensive applications optimized for Windows 8 with ease.

Cons: However, I've had a pretty rough time getting the proper graphics driver installed (wanted to try running some older gen games). Intel's generic drivers aren't optimized properly meaning you have to go through Asus and their cluttered updating process; which has been pretty far from intuitive.

Pros: Works perfect after manufacture service

Cons: non

Overall Review: After my previous negative review I was surprised how fast and responsible ASUS service team take care of my problem. Now my laptop works as expected. Great thanks personally to Mr. Rodel.
