ASUS A52F-XE5 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had never heard of this brand but it was recommended to me by my daughter who is a support tech for a major insurance company. I guess they make most of the motherboards for other computers.
I have to state right off the bat that I use my laptop for pretty simple tasks so I don't think this would be what a hardcore game player would used.
I really apprecite that it didn't come pre-loaded with a lot of crap, just the basics. It loads quicker than I have ever experienced and works flawlesly. I am very impressed so far so this review is just a few days right out of the box. I paid a little more at Best Buy because I wanted to try before I bought and decided just to spend a few extra bucks to get it on Saturday... guess I haven't got over my instant gradification problem.
