Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this as a replacement for a Sony Viao 13.3"(severe overheating issues) laptop for my fiancée to write her thesis. At first I was going to buy her a netbook because they are cheaper but after some intense searching I stumbled upon this model on newegg and it happened to be sold out, so I clicked on it looked at the specs and was immediately impressed for the advertized price. It happened to be sold out because of the combination of a rebate and a super low price on newegg but even for $75 more on Amazon, it couldn't be beat.
In use now, I got TONS of bonus points for this surprise.
Pros:
Cost: Nice price, I got it with a $100 rebate from ASUS so this was very affordable. I would probably buy this or maybe something a little more powerful for the same price without the rebate anyway.
Power exceeds that of the Intel dual core processors (TXXXXX) of several years ago) despite being a low voltage processor (longer battery life). Multitasking with multiple tabs on your Web Browser, Outlook, Excel, Photoshop, Word and PDF's all open, it can handle no problem.
Small footprint and light, yet has a full size keyboard for actual typing.
Brushed steel outer case looks awesome with solid feel. Majorly scratch resistant (not scratch-proof so don't push it).
Cons:
Touchpad: While pinch-and-zoom capable feels like a netbook in that its cheap and not set aside from the rest of the panel.
'Rocker' style mouse buttons: This particular rocker requires ALOT of force to click it. I don't actually 'abhor' the rocker/single button style that much as long as it is responsive.
No Optical Drive: not a deal breaker and allows for the lighter weight. It requires an extra transfer step to install software. Don't worry you should be albe to copy the info onto a large enough USB/flash/jump drive or other portable hard drive to copy the install files straight off the disk to install from.
