     But first, let's talk about why I think this is a good value.ASUS A55A-AH51-WT 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (White) This is one of the few laptops at this price point to contain a 3rd generation i5 processor, which can be considered one of the faster laptop processors as of right now.ASUS A55A-AH51-WT 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (White) It's speedy enough to run pretty much anything you throw at it.ASUS A55A-AH51-WT 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (White) Graphics-wise, this laptop comes with the standard Intel HD 4000, which isn't a great graphics card, but it's not as bad as most people make it out to be either.ASUS A55A-AH51-WT 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (White) Intel has had a history of terrible integrated graphics cards, but the Intel HD 4000 is decent enough to run all low end games, and even more graphically-intensive games at a low setting.ASUS A55A-AH51-WT 15.6-Inch LED Laptop (White) All in all, this laptop has enough power to satisfy the average user. If you're a power user, you probably know what you need and wouldn't be reading this review.

     This is an amazing machine for the $$.ASUS K55N-DB81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

There are others on the market right now for twice the price and more that dont have as much hardware as this thing does, plus its an Asus, an absolute top tier brand.ASUS K55N-DB81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) It looks and feels like you could drop it off of a 30 story building and it would just laugh it off.ASUS K55N-DB81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) Mind you, it isnt really attractive or lightweight and has a pretty big footprint, but its as solid a machine as you can buy.ASUS K55N-DB81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) IF they were charging even $200 more it would be a bargain.

     I have been using this laptop for the last few days and my initial impressions are highly positive.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook I bought it as a gift for my wife but I had to take some time with it before giving it up.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook She was using an older 17" Dell and was tired of carrying around an 8 pound laptop so I started my search.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook With Windows 8 coming out I knew I wanted a touch screen and the only model in my price range was this Asus.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook I have had plenty of experience with Asus motherboards and video cards and they have always been great products so I decided to take the plunge. So far it has been a wise decision.

     When I opened the box I was impressed with how thin and light the laptop is. Compared to my Dell XPS 15 this thing is tiny but packs a screen just 1.3" smaller.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook While it is light weight it still feels very solid in your hands. The laptop weighs about 4.0lbs by my scale.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook Surprisingly the power brick is tiny as well, measuring about 3"x3"x1" and weighing 1.2lbs.ASUS VivoBook S400CA-DH51T 14-Inch Touch Ultrabook My wife wanted something smaller to carry around and this fits the bill perfectly.

     I have several Asus products and have always been happy and satisfied with them...until now. ASUS A55VD-AH71 15.6-Inch Laptop The touchpad jumps around, the Asus power manager interferes constantly regardless of the settings, video only wants to run on the internal graphics (one reason I bought it was for the external graphics) once it hibernates it locks up, sometimes to the point the battery needs pulled.

     I sent it in for warranty and they received it 10/31.ASUS A55VD-AH71 15.6-Inch Laptop I got it back 11/27. They kept saying parts were on order. The laptop actually broke about 10/15 but it took about 2 weeks to get the paperwork all in order to their liking.ASUS A55VD-AH71 15.6-Inch Laptop Let me tell you, save every scrap you can showing where it was bought and when. They try every trick possible to deny warranty.ASUS A55VD-AH71 15.6-Inch Laptop First they wouldnt recognize Amazon as a retailer, then the receipt didn't have the correct info, then the serial number wasn't in the system, then no one could find any records. Each time takes a day, then you have to call back for a 30min hold.

     I bought this laptop for my mother to complete school after her 3 year old HP laptop died using Skype and was skeptical due to few bad reviews that showed after I had purchased product.ASUS A53U-AS21 15.6-Inch Laptop (Mocha) I setup the laptop and had no problems with speed or error codes etc. It comes with some bloatware but far less than what you get on HP laptops.

    This is a review of the Asus laptop, not Windows 8. I'm a retired computer professional and I've had over a dozen different laptops over the years, from economy models to the top-of-the-line (so I have a large frame of reference). ASUS K55N-DS81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) I'm really pleased with this laptop -- it's a great value and I really don't need any more power or features for what I do these days.ASUS K55N-DS81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) I use it mostly for web browsing, Office apps (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint), Photoshop, iTunes management of a huge music library, and email. I'm "on my computer" over 8 hours a day.ASUS K55N-DS81 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) For those purposes, this laptop is serving me well at a great price. I looked at a lot of others in the same price range and decided on this one for these reasons: a good processor (I don't think I saw any faster ones in this price range), 500GB disk drive (I really don't need more space and I have larger external USB drives if I ever do), a decent integrated graphics adapter, 3 USB ports including USB 3.0, an HDMI port, VGA output for non-digital TVs and monitors (not found on many current laptops but it's still useful), DVD burner, a pretty long battery life, and a 1-year warranty on accidental drops and spills.
