Discount Asus 14" Laptop Intel Notebook PC (Pink)

Customer Ratings:

So, I'm not really that technologically advanced. My previous PC was a netbook (also by Asus), but it had started to slow down (due, I'm told, to my use of Norton). I also wanted something with a larger screen that was also lightweight. This fit the bill perfectly (and it's pink...WERK). I'll go through a few of the points that I find important.

1. Screen: Crisp, clear resolution.

2. USB Ports: There are only two (as opposed to the four on my netbook)

3. LED function indicator lights: Mostly hidden from view.

4. Speakers: They're eh. But, I didn't really buy it for the speakers.

5. Internet speed: Pretty awesome so far. Connects quickly to the various wi-fi networks at my university.

6. Touchpad: It's pretty nifty--the most like a MacBook touch pad that I've seen in a PC. It is, however, a little large and awkwardly placed. I tend to hit it a lot just while I'm typing, so I use a wireless mouse.

7. Weight: The specs say this thing weighs 4 pounds, but it hardly feels like it! It's also extremely thin.

8. Heat: It hasn't gotten very hot at all. There's supposed to be a special design to encourage that.

9. Battery life: I'm known for killing batteries, so I probably did something wrong the first time I used this computer. But, I find that I can get around 5 hours out of it.

9. Keyboard: I have really long fingers, so typing on the netbook keyboard could be a pain. This full size keyboard is awesome.

10. Cord: I'm a little disappointed that Asus didn't integrate some type of velcro strap to keep the cord organized. Be prepared for a bulky three-prong cord.

I bought this item on sale at Best Buy, and I am very pleased with my purchase so far.

Bought the sleeky green one from Bestbuy during the labor day weekend (sept 4 2012) and thought its cuteness was fantabulous. it actually still is, but i didn't buy the almost 400 dollar laptop only for its cuteness.

so far it has:

crashed on me a coupla times;

the mouse froze up;

the MICROSOFT C++ error message zonked in a few times;

the windows compatability view thingy also popped up.

the touch pad seems way too sensitive and kept springing into another section of the text as i tried to type and made my spellings wrong.

the space bar was also flimsy as i needed to push it a few times in order to ensure that there was spacing between the words in my text otherwise all the words i typed just were hitched together.

I have had this laptop now for 8 days and i cannot say that i am soooo pleased with it. i may return it if i can't figure out a way to get it in a better working order.

ram and gb and all that stuff i do not understand because all i need it for is to type up stuff, do emailing and watch a tv series or two...nothing major
