very good buy

laptop is light and thin. good sound and video. biggest drawback is windows 8. wife hates it but is resisting change. I learned it and removed some unnecessary items and it runs faster now. windows 8 does lag in strange places. I would buy again with windows 7 to keep family happy

Pretty Good

No real problems with this setup it does need more ram to bring out the potential of it's higher end processor and graphics cards.

One Very Happy Camper Here!

I was really surprised on the capabilities and performance of this machine, perfection is so visible in the design of this beauty, light weight but powerful, multi-media is a picnic for this machine, smooth video, superb sound! I had it for about a month now and definitely this machine has become my companion. Whether in use for work or leisure, I haven't feel the machine is not reaching my expectations, all of the opposite! One more thing, I had machines that I've paid three times as much as this one, I was never as happy with them as I am with this unit, seriously!

solid computer, some issues

Real, live, human owner here. This is a sleek, fast and cheap computer, BUT not out of the box. There is tons of bloatware that you need to get rid of and really slows down the machine. Also the 6 GB of ram is low quality and needs to be upgraded. Go for $100 16gb of Crucial vengance ram or better if you can afford it. After the upgrade and software clean up, this baby runs like a beast. battery life is meh. PS6 for 2-2.5 hours at best on a charge. Internet and streaming for 3-4 hours on a charge. But its an $800 computer with upgrades and runs better than my buddies $2200 macbook pro! feels and looks great and wonderful for gaming and design work. ok screen. budget beast!

Good Buy, Good Features

This computer has all the features you need in a lightweight package. Good size hard drive and fairly fast. Windows 8 was easy to use. Wi-Fi is always on.

Great Deal

Laptop is excellent. Was a little skeptical of Windows 8, but turns out to be a pretty great OS. The system did crash after about two weeks because of a Graphics Card driver update, but ASUS was great in walking me through a system refresh. Only lost some software. DO NOT UPDATE THE GRAPHICS DRIVER, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CARD AND WINDOWS 8.

Great value and performance for the price

I bought 2 of these as desktop replacements for my wife and myself. I have owned an Asus laptop prior to this and let me tell you, this laptop rocks. I was new to Windows 8 and with all the horror stories I was reading, it only took a short time to become accustomed to. I immediately increased the ram from 6GB to 16GB in one machine, but they both perform fantastically without any hitches. This is a great value, exceptional performance at at wonderful price. Also, I ordered these laptops and received them 2 days later. I just can't say enough about how satisfied I am with both the laptops from Asus and the service I received from TigerDirect. Just an amazing value.

Excellent!

I bought this laptop as a desktop replacement and it works well. No issues on start up. Minimal bloat ware. I plan to upgrade to 16g RAM right away, and for the price of the original machine and the RAM, it still beats the price of many competitors. Good audio too-for a laptop. Not surprised it's routinely out-of-stock!

Great piece of equipment

I am very satisfied with the machine.

great performace + price

this laptop is awesome the performance is great due to the i7+decent graphic card the best part of it is the price. I got it when it is on sale for only 699.99, and because there is no store in my state, i do not need to pay income tax which makes it a super cheap deal. Over all, it is an awesome deal
