I didn’t even look at the specs, I just want to say what a horrible experience I had with Asus’ RMA department when replacing a motherboard.
I have to call them again, because my motherboard now has a USB issue. It’s no laptop, but I have read that their laptop/tablet RMA department isn’t any better.
If you need to have it fixed under warranty, google for tips before you call.
I purchased this at Stapels on Dec 4. I will be returning it when I go back to town tomorrow. Too Bad, it is a great looking little laptop but everything is going wrong.
-Weird lines appear and disappear across the screen
-Volume stopped working.
-Randomly just dies and has to be hard booted back up
This lost me at “Asus”. I bought a desktop from TigerDirect (never again). Great specs, great price. Ha. Win 7 was still new, so I was glad to get it on said desktop, till I turn it on and find out it’s in French. I called TigerDirect, who said to call Asus, and then of course, Asus said to call TD. I gave up and put XP on it, and it lasted just till the warranty expired. Never again.
If you are looking for a good deal, this may not be the best offering here at woot!. The link that I am listing here in my post looks like the same computer- only new. First, you will be paying $35 ($30 cost difference + $5 shipping) more for a factory reconditioned computer with a 90-day warranty, and all this comparsion information is based on http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-15-6-34-laptop-4gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive-hot-pink/2672524.p?id=1219075596260&skuId=2672524#tab=overview/. The link is for the pink one but I see the green one is available too. At this link the computer is $299.99 with free shipping and comes with a 1 year warranty. If the computers are not the same in some minor way, I think that this link will give you some comparison information and reviews to read that may be helpful.
[MOD: The processor on the one you linked is a Pentium. Ours is a Core i3.]
ARGH! I just bought this laptop for my wife for $579. Even at that price point it was a GREAT deal…at this price point it’s insane. It’s very, very fast, slim profile, and just all around awesome…
Edit: Just realized it’s not the same model, the one I got has a 24GB SSD and touchscreen and this one appears to not have it. phew
