We bought this at Best Buy because it was cheaper there. Only $270++
Day 1 Install Day -> Easy to set up. Glitch #1 happened. Wifi lost connection and would not create the outlook account but still got to complete setup.
-> completed all windows update required. Took a while and a number of restarts but that was to be expected.
-> Day 1. 3x lost wifi connection. Had to click on the "FIX THIS.. " button to get it resolved.
Day 2 -> installed office, adobe, no issues on install. Lost Wifi connection once.
Day 3 -> Mouse pointer keeps freezing. Had to force reboot 2x.
I should have taken the best buy reviews more seriously. A lot of people angry with their purchase.
A lot of issues with this computer:
1. Mouse pointer freezing
2. Webpages take 3-5 seconds to render completely and mouse pointer active for navigation
3. Free 30 day Mcafee will not scan. Keeps shutting off.
4. Have to click on things 3-5 times for it to respond.
5. Space bar doesnt respond all the time so have to double click on it sometimes
Likes:
1. Lightweight
2. Price
i think the cons outweigh the pros. Will be returning to best buy

Day 5
i figured out the issue with the mouse pointer freezing, apparently after it did multiple updates, it disabled the mouse. I have never seen this before but there is a function key that has a mouse icon on it with a line on it. just clicking that function key returns the mouse pointer.
Decided to give it a couple more days to see if all the windows update fixes its issues.
Day 6
seriously... i think weve experienced about 10 updates and about 15 restarts since then. how many windows update do you need? Some go for an hour. so today we disabled the automatic updates feature and maybe will enable updates when we leave the laptop at home.
Speed has not changed. for yahoo main page, about 5 seconds to render fully. for netflix main page, about 30 seconds to render fully. Once they render, they stay usable. no issues. so if you are patient and not willing to spend a little more, this one is for you.

I was looking in the market for a basic laptop for my younger brother who is going off to college (UCI). I'd had search on numerous websites looking for a deal which included newegg, frys, bestbuy, and walmart. All of which were out of my budget which is when I found this baby on amazon. I gotta say, this is the best bang for your buck as far as practically and price. At $315, this machine has exceeded my expectations! I thought it would be a lot smaller and slower both at which were incorrect. Has great hardrive storage and comes with 4 GB ram, I may buy some more ram so that multitasking would be much quicker. Right I can stream online radio, have 4-5 tabs open with different websites loaded (including me writing this review) without it taking to long to load each page but it could be faster with RAM upgrade. Overall, I think my brother will be very pleased with his new laptop, it will take care of his educational needs as well as entertainment.Best Deals for Asus X401U 14" Laptop 500GB/4GB/HD7340/Windows8 (Black)

It was working very slow once. I don't know the problem, also I couldn't update my windows before and I couldn't format my PC. But I solved the problem already with deleting all the data those I had. May be there were viruses on my PC. And now so far so good. Thank you.
