Bought for husband as travel-laptop. Just got in today.
Let me say this laptop will be sufficient for some daily use. It is a good laptop for the price. Fast enough ( but not super speedy). Doesnt feel really heavy to me, but then again, I normally carry around a 17 inch dell. Very nice looking. Overall, very good for browsing and email. Probably really good for a student or light to medium usage. Im a heavy user and KILL laptops, so I dont think this one will last too long is you are rough on your laptops. Good specs. Started up out of the box. Would recommend though.
Cons:
-Installed software. There is A LOT of it! Slows down the computer on start up horribly.
-It was FILTHY! I know its refurbished, but at least you could take a can of air and blow out the cat hair and food crumbs (Im literally serious)! Come on, Amazon! If you buy this, purchase some canned air to blow out the keyboard and monitor as it was GROSS! Again as a heavy user, I know a gross laptop, and that one put mine to shame. Im going to have to pop the keys out and scrub with Qtips.
-Small scratches around the monitor. Nothing major, just figured I would mention it because some people are really picky.
-Packaging/Delivery. No bubble wrap or padding whatsoever. Came in a large box ( like a laptop normally would), but just had cardboard to hold in place and skrink wrap to prevent scratching. No padding between keyboard and monitor either. No protection at all (aside of the plastic bag on the outside incase it rained). The box wasnt dented, but if it had been, I worry about what could have happened. Speaking of which, FedEx left it outside on my porch ( in 95 degree heat) when I didnt answer my door (didnt even require a signature I guess), so make sure you are home for your delivery otherwise, someone might walk off with your new-to-you laptop. :/

Just received it.
— but slick in that it is integrated into the body. The two finger scrolling and three finger menu is nice but the pad will take some getting used to.
I consider the price in this review.
I am a frugal shopper and a bit of a techy — I’ll be putting a Linux partition on it.
$365 delivered, refurb — no signs of why it was refurbished.
I’ve never owned an ASUS so far I really really like it. Touch pad is a bit touchy —
The key board is sensitive as well, the buttons are big, all of which I happen to like; the numbers pad is a big bonus that I really like.
It is wide, like 17″, the screen seems larger than your average 15.6″. Good resolution. The battery life seems long, but we’ll see.
It is lighter than my last Dell.
This is also my first run with the Windows 7 OS so that will take a bit of getting used to as well.
WiFi is fast and strong because of the wireless N — longer distance faster transfer rates.
Overall this laptop seems very solid for the money.
Easy to configure, lots of options, very sleek looking.
I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a budget portable.
I will use it for work/school (I’m a PhD student).
For what you pay this thing is a steal.
I will update as I use it.
