Overall Review: Got this for my mom. Her old computer passed on. This is twice as fast as what she had. Insides were clean, simple, and well put together. I was able to add another 4 mb of memory from her old one and transfer the HD so she could recover all her photos and documents. Using her old monitor and wifi adapter. Happy with the results and the price.

Pros: Fast

Cons: Too hot?

Overall Review: Lasted a year and a couple months, just past the 1 year warranty. Might send it in for repair but Asus estimates $600 for a fix plus $60 to send it in. Might put that towards a new laptop from another company. I expect a $1300 laptop to last more than a year as I didn't overclock or put much strain on it. It burned out while I was playing Hearthstone.
