WOW!
Pros: The speed! The price! The quality feel (keyboard! Palmrest! mouse pad!) LCD LED screen! 449 shipped was nice!
Cons: I could see how some would not like the partitions on this. ASUS should probably get away from that. BUT...after I fully tweaked (56 processes sitting idle at 1.26GB) and secured this machine (yes I had to uninstall 20 minutes worth of non sense software but I almost always spend 1 solid hour + on a new machine before giving it to the customer anyway and the price and quality was spot on so....) I had a real winner!
Overall Review: For 10 years I have insisted that either machines come with FULL RECOVERY DVD's or that they are EASY and FREE/CHEAP to order after receiving the machine. As of 12-22-10 ASUS has no recovery disks to ship for this model and it does not come with one. Yes you can make your own but I HATE HATE that method! I am afraid Dell has spoiled us techs with their excellent universal complete restore DVD's.
Do not buy
Pros: None. Died in minutes.
Cons: Died in minutes.
Overall Review: Asus tech support was kinda bad the day they entered the retail computer world and has steadily declined. I have used their motherboards for years and I love them but with those I require no recovery disks or support!
Like brand new and silent and violent!
Pros: As close to new as anyone could ever expect! Silent and screaming fast! I only buy refurbs and I can barely even tell this was refurbed at all and I know what to look for!
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Just a great value. This will be used for audio recording but if you were to simply add a great video card (anda power supply if you get crazy) you would have one heck of a gamer.
Beast sink!
Pros: Can't remove much more heat than this beast!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great piece of copper!
Like new!
Pros: Great value
Cons: none
Overall Review: I have worked on this stuff my entire life. Swap parts and good as new. Refurb stuff is great 99% of the time. Thanks newegg and seller.
perfect!
Pros: Converts DP to HDMI
Cons: The fact that it needs to exist to begin with!

Sick of this kind of stuff....
Maybe it is time to stop selling stuff if you can't ship it or communicate that you have a issue?
Perfect!
Real value!!
Good stuff!
As expected.
