Has most of the features I was looking for in an inexpenive Laptop (it was on sale during Christmas Season). Very good for watching movies and videos, listening to music and playing RPG and First Person Shooter games. Good for video editing. Battery life is excellent.
Really great computer for the money!

I am sure that you can spend more and get something even better, faster, etc. But, I use this laptop everyday for business with the msjority of my work done over an online connection. No problems. It can run multiple programs at once without bogging down, has plenty of space and is plenty fast. I recently used a friends similarly priced HP and the overall feel of it was cheap and plasticy. Not this one!! I got this computer on sale for $399, making it a SMOKIN deal, but even at the regular price I do not believe you will be disappointed.

I bought this notebook because I was told that Asus was the best. I bought this not even a month ago and have only used it once (only for about an hour). Now I can't even get the thing to power on! I calledthis site and was basically told oh well not their problem. My advice: buy directly from the manufacturer, this way if something happens they can just replace it!
Another great Asus laptop!!!

This is my second Asus laptop this year. I have been replacing my HP's with Asus and never looking back. Asus quality is easily seen in their products, no bloatware, and great design. Love the spacious hard drive and specs on this one for $399..a great deal! I only wish they would use an HD webcam.

What You Should Know
About ENERGY STAR ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping
us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient
products and practices.
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR,
saved enough energy in 2007 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions
equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on
their utility bills.
ENERGY STAR
Qualified Products
Products in more than 50 categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR. They
use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Ask for the
ENERGY STAR. Energy efficient choices can save families and
businesses about a third on their
energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without
sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the
energy efficient choice. If looking for new household products, look for ones that have
earned the ENERGY STAR. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines
set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.
What Is A Cell? It's a
battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a
single energy cell a battery as well.
In
electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical
Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in
the form of electricity. The battery cells combine to produce more energy
(voltage or amps) than a cell by itself. When joined in this way, it is a
battery of cells. Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells -
rechargeable or disposable. The more cells, the more energy available -
meaning more hours of use usually.
In Notebook computers, the battery case usually
holds three or more cells. 3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3
hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop. 6 cell (or
more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use. This
can be good or bad! More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!
So remember to always check for the number of
cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.
Battery Trivia:
The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta! The first known usage of the battery (as we know it
today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills.
Recovery Media
Most computer systems no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or CDs used to restore your computer system to it's factory shipped state). Many do not even include Operating System disks.
This is not specific to systems purchased from any one company, but now standard practice throughout the entire industry.
However, many manufacturers include software on the hard drive that creates recovery media for you. This allows burning your own set of recovery CDs or DVDs - all you need is the blank media.
Inclusion of such a recovery utility varies by manufacturer and model; not all manufactures and models include such a utility. For those that include such a utility we recommend you create your own set of recovery media after completing the Windows installation. In other words, right after you start using your PC!
If you fail to do this and encounter a difficulty in the future you may not be able to properly restore your computer.
Some manufacturers may have physical recovery media available separately for purchase; consult your owner’s manual support information section for additional information. Systems that do not come with a CD/DVD burner may still include Recovery Disks - please check the manufacturer's specs.
