Reviews of ASUS U38N-DS81T 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (Dark Silver)

Customer Ratings:

I was quite impressed with several items on this computer:

1) The overall build quality is excellent, and the fre laptop case was a nice (and unknown by myself) touch

2) After removing most of the Asus bloatware and putting the computer power settings on the Microsoft balanced settings I found that the battery life improved significantly. Also the fan noise greatly decreased as the processor can now idle properly.

3) The performance of the processor and full bore is also quite good (6.2 processor score and 6.6 gaming graphic score on WEI) more than sufficient for any application with the exception of high end gaming and video editing/compression

4) Fantastic monitor. I am not even sure what is the next cheapest laptop you can get with a high quality 1080P TOUCHSCREEN monitor.

5) Very light overall. Honestly if it was much lighter I would be concerned about its overall structural integrity as a touchscreen computer.

6) Although I have previously installed windows 8 on a desktop, using it on a touchscreen laptop is a significant improvement. I find myself able to find a sweet spot for when to use the touchscreen (which can also easily pull up a keyboard) and using the actual keyboard. I find it better than either a traditional desktop/laptop or a tablet.

7) The only negatives I have are the initial bloatware (which can be easily removed) and the trackpad/mouse on the keyboard. The trackpad is actually too sensitive and it takes some time to be able to type on the keyboard without activating the trackpad.

Strongly recommend this computer as I know of now other which can do as much as this computer for less than $1000.

I have been using this laptop for the past month and could not be more pleased! It has exceeded all my expectations and my friends are envious. The Look and feel, Size, AMD A10 processor, and Touch Screen... ALL for under $800 is a total deal!!

Looking forward to seeing what's next from Asus\AMD!!

Honest reviews on ASUS U38N-DS81T 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (Dark Silver)

My wife purchased this for me from Tiger Direct a few weeks back. Previously I was using an HP notebook and liked it except for the weight and bulk.

The screen is amazing super HD you wont believe how some pictures look on this screen. It is also super light and thin and amazingly fast. I was a little suspect of Asus quality prior to this but this unit has changed my mind! Great unit and worth every penny!
