Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Okay, so I have only had this computer for like a week so not a whole lot I can say right now. I got it out of the package (which arrived within three days of ordering) and yes it is small, but cute. VERY light, like the size of a Stephen King novel and very portable too. Anyways, setup was simple, took about 10 minutes for the OS to install and boot for the first time. It found my WiFi immediately and I just had to enter the password to connect. Very easy to install programs, but I only installed Firefox and Advanced System Care at this point. Comes with Word but it is the starter edition, which is basic functionality of word. I freelance write so the basic Word is good for me.
It seems to work like a charm, the webcam is nice and pretty good quality for a .3 MP. Took a couple pictures and they came out looking pretty good. The battery life is pretty good I am ranging about 3 hours to 3 1/2 hours, which is better than the 20 minutes I was getting on my previous but still useable computer. Screen size is just right for me since I am just using this computer for writing and emails and such. I have my bigger laptop for movies and other videos. I am keeping this one relatively clean and not installing much at this point.
Really nice overall, I can't complain too much except the background can't change on Starter OS. I choose to use Starter then maybe I will upgrade later on but really no need right now. I can live with the blue screen as the background. Typing is really easy, especially if you are used to smaller and more compact keyboards. Not a big fan of the touch pad so I hooked up my mouse. Plugged it in and it recognized it right away.
Definitely a must-buy for anyone looking for something small and portable but with good programs. Also the sound is actually better than the Toshiba Satellite that my BF has which is kinda cool. Headphones are always better though for smaller laptops. Totally glad I bought this one and hope it will last me a long time. Been wanting an Asus for a few years now and it seems to be as great as advertised.
Also, since it does not have a DVD/CD drive, I just imported files and programs from a flash drive onto this computer. Worked just as well and was pretty easy. So again, something I don't need at this point but if I need it then I will buy it later.
