ASUS X75A-DS51 17.3-Inch Deal

Warp Spedo: This laptop is probably the best bang for your buck out there right now. I purchased this laptop because I needed a portable computer to take with me to classes for notes so I figured almost anything would do, which lead me to the lower end of the price scale. The first thing I noticed is how beautiful the screen is. The color depth is spot on and everything looks sharp. Performance wise this guy has a dual core, hyper threading Intel i5 with 8 GB of ram, I have yet to see it lag at all. Other features include Bluetooth technology and a 750 GB hard drive separated in to 2 partitions which allows the OS to be recovered without removing data on the 2nd partition.

 Mark Engstrom: I have owned multiple laptops and so far, this one is in my top 3 especially at this price range. I did a lot of research before purchasing and for what you get out of the box and compared to others is excellent. Nice bright display with good color depth. Performance wise it has a dual core, hyper threading Intel i5 with 8 GB of Ram. Compared to some other brands, you're going to pay a little more. The audio sounds goods, but I prefer headphones probably like most. The battery life could be a little better lasting in the 4-5 hour range with use. Now the biggest reason for the 4 rating is the 10key is a little awkward in it's placement there needs to be a little bit of a gap from the main keyboard, the touchpad takes some getting use too, there is a little more of the bloatware on it then probably some (I just uninstall it) and of course it's Windows 8 which is down right awful.

Amanda : Ok so I've only had the computer for 2 weeks but so far I love it! I had an hp laptop before but it was such a piece of crap, it eventually burned itself out after only 2.5 years, so getting a tough computer that would last a lot longer was what I was striving for and I got it with this laptop. As far as the review saying the disc drive runs constantly, they must have gotten a bad apple because it really doesn't. This computer is super quiet, and never gets hot. I don't do any hardcore gaming or anything though. I use it to watch movies on my tv via an HDMI cord, which works awesome, and for work so all of the storage really helps. I like that you can turn off the computer screen while connected to the tv so you can focus on the tv.

ASUS V500CA-BB31T 15.6-Inch Deal

Pamela J. Macchi : I researched which laptop to purchase for a good 6 months and I was deciding between an acer or asus. I do have an acer tablet and my sibling has an asus tablet so I knew which ever one I choose it would be a great product. At the last minute I decided to purchase an asus, I felt more comfortable knowing that asus has a great customer care service. I did purchase this product elsewhere as they had a better deal at the time. The laptop is thin and feels sturdy, looks amazing out the box. The laptop is listed at 4.6lbs, actually holding it I wasn't expecting it to be this heavy.

Eddie (Seattle, WA United States): The touchscreen response is great and makes windows 8 easier to use. I've read a few comments where people complained about the key board where the space buttons response isn't great but so far I've had no issue. I use the laptop mostly for streaming videos, school work and surfing web. When I stream videos it does drain the battery pretty quickly. Im still learning about shortcuts on the keyboard but overall Im happy with my purchase. This laptop is great, if your looking for a touchscreen laptop and don't want to spend a lot this is it.

Bryan J. Auerbach (Lynbrook, NY United States): I never rate any items but this computer is so awful I just wanted to warn anyone looking to purchase it. I can't for the life of me explain why any of the other reviews are anything above 1 star. The machine is so slow. I bought it to replace an 8 year old lap top and guess which computer I'm on now writing this review from. Nothing about it works well right down to the keyboard and trackpad. I wish I bought this on Amazon and not at Microcenter because I'm sure Amazon would allow me to return it. I can say without any question that this is the worst computer I've ever owned or will ever own. $500 in the toilet.

ASUS Vivobook V551LB-DB71T 15.6-Inch Deal

Computer whiz: I am wondering if the reviewer who gave the one star is knowledgeable at all about computers. I design them and I have to say the low power cpu, 15 w compared to one using much more translates into long battery life. Face it if you just use a base number and say it is terrible, you dont understand that the cpu speed scales with need. most time in a computer the cpu does little and its response is not required to be fast for those tasks as it is wasting power. this cpu can run from 1.8 to over 3 ghz depending on the need and allowing lower power consumption. The new Haswell processor also has a number of features that make it more efficient at lower speed meaning to accomplish a task it does not need to run as fast as an older processor to do the same work.

G. Shia : Maybe the person giving only one star works for apple, or maybe is just computer illiterate but either way it is saddening to see ranting rather than facts in reviews.Excellent hardware, speedy performance, amazing battery life! The new intel chip (4th gen) does this machine justice. Only weak point is the sound output underwhelms.The title says touch screen but my laptop is not. I don't care for touch screen in the first place but just so people know, there is no touch screen.

Preston Liddell (Dallas, TX): If I could rate it as 0 stars, thats what it would get. Computer is slow! Whatever processing power was supposed to be gained by having 8gb ram over 4 is easily lost in operating the touch screen. The computer is very sluggish switching in out of windows and the internet browser has crashed twice within 30 mins of operation; My inet speed is 30mbps. I'm boxing it back up as we speak. It looks impressive because its sleek and solidly built, but for $1100 someone should be prosecuted for selling this thing.

ASUS Vivobook V500CA-DB51T 15.6-Inch Deal

 Ram Kumar (Atlanta, GA) : ASUS makes quality products and this notebook is a reflection of its quality. The ultrabook is very thin although little heavy (due to glass screen). Connected to my existing router in a snap and after about 30 mins of Windows 8 update it worked flawlessly. The display is crisp though not full HD. The batter life is quite good and I am able to get about 4.5 hours consistently. The touchscreen is very responsive and very user friendly once you get used to it. The performance is very good. I purchased external DVD-RW add on for a small price. Overall an excellent laptop!

R. RAMIREZ "all-around IT dude" (Kew Gardens, NY United States): I am an information technology professional who relies on ASUS products. This ultrabook runs smoothly, boots up super fast, it has a responsive touch screen and is very light. I had a big and bulky Toshiba Qosmio desktop replacement laptop that weighed about 19 pounds. I gave it to my sister and decided to upgrade to a current laptop. The ASUS VivoBook V500 seemed like the obvious choice for me.

Kelsey e. fields: This is a great notebook! It has an amazing sound and a extremely bright display. I have an older Hp laptop that has a 17" screen. The screen size made it difficult to transport, so buying this 15.6" notebook was a good decision. This Asus also has a fast start up, and is very responsive during multi-tasking. I am still in the learning process for windows8.This is the best laptop for student, staff.. The design is very beautiful. this laptop is thin and light. You can bring it everywhere, sometime I carry it on the bed. The system is strong. you can run games and every normal programs.

ASUS G75VW-DS72 17.3-Inch Deal

Ychen: Some bugs with the sound system where the subwoofer doesn't turn off until the lowest decibel. The resting pad is changed into a foamy texture instead of the soft rubber texture from G74x. This version comes with only 12 Gb instead of 16 Gb, but you have an easy access slot for expand. There are 2 hard drives but they are both partitioned giving you 4 smaller hard drives, not sure why they did that. 3D function is great but it turns down the screen resolution when in use and makes your backlit keyboard into a strobe light. Kinda wish they had one of the hard drive for loading OS as SSD.

Chris Sutton (Omaha, NE United States): So far, I've enjoyed my new RoG laptop to the fullest. It has a great aesthetic, and doesn't skimp on performance. The 1 Year Accidental Damage coverage is amazing as always. The system comes with a pre-installed gadget that lets you switch from "high performance" to "battery saving", essentially throttling the proccesor and GPU to extend off-cable life. The stereoscopic 3D on this model is quite good, though it wasn't my main reason for the purchase. There are a few downsides, but nothing too terrible. Like most gaming laptops, it is very large and heavy, has low battery life (about 2 1/2 hours), and gets hot quickly (ventilation is excellent, however, and I haven't noticed any performance issues related to heat).

Cannon: I cannot recommend the G75VW-DS73-3D which is a pity as it's a nice looking machine when its working. In fairness to Asus after months of haggling they sent me a replacement G75 at their expense. But it has the exact same hangs freezes and system lockups! Is this coincidence? A bad batch perhaps? I don't know, so I'll leave it to the prospective buyer to decide.... Nvidia Driver updates do not fix the problem believe me I've tried, and Asus VIP support is the absolute worst!

ASUS X550CA-DB51 15.6-Inch Deal

Anibal: I've been learning Windows 8 and figuring out everything I can with this laptop and so far it's been amazing! Terrific picture quality and great sound! Apps run smoothly, Netflix and iTunes work great! Everything I could want in a laptop for school and work. So slim and light. I've only had it for the day but so far it's everything I wanted. Great buy and Great price!! Being someone who is not very tech savvy I found this laptop easy to use and learn. Also it's so quiet when running programs and even just starting up. I totally recommend this laptop for everyone.

Fabricio Gallo Paulon: Overall I like the computer but the track pad is so sensitive that by merely resting my left wrist on the computer - it swishes the window that I am working on away and I have to search for it. Windows 8 is probably the biggest issue as it is a totally unintuitive operating system and requires extra steps for simple functions. You have to completely exit a document just to save it. And while I understand this is not the computer itself, it is what is running the computer.

Richard smith (CASTLE ROCK, CO, US):  The audio is absolutely NOT accurate!! I do voice over and that is what I bought this computer for. In listening back my recording sounded too bad to be acceptable and I got scared, only to find out that it's the audio coming through the jack, using my interface I heard the audio as it was recorded which was fine. Hence, if audio quality is important to you DO NOT use this laptop for that! I am not forced to use my audio interface even for my preliminary editting/QC checks. This IS ASUS's fault and frustrates me. The last one didn't have this problem.

ASUS K55A-DS71 15.6-Inch Deal

Jake Allen: Just a heads up, be careful if you buy the warranty from SquareTrade, under as Frequently Bought Together.. they automatically stick you with the $600-700 package, but once you pay for this laptop after tax (just the laptop) it comes to $713.51 I was lucky enough to cancel mine quickly when I realized that the insurance wouldn't cover this laptop if anything were irreparable and they had to issue me a new one, as the lady told me over the phone, in order for that to happen you need to have the complete cost of the laptop covered in your warranty price. So I canceled it before it charged to my card, and went with the $700-800 coverage. Just thought I'd give a heads up to everyone. I bought this laptop for my daughter, I will be having her write a review on it once it gets here and she has a chance to try it out for awhile.

Carol Keener: Windows 8 in this model is terrible. Just 2 days after starting the laptop up, Win 8 crashed and continues to do so at least twice a day. Search *Windows 8 crash* and there's a lot of posts on forums as well as other sites. Microsoft's forum on their site has complaints exactly like mine and have been awaiting a Microsoft person to address this problem for a good long while. NOTE: The Amazon rep said he's seeing a number of pcs and laptops with Windows 8 customer complaints and returns.

April A. Nollmann (Texas, USA): My advice is to stick with Windows 7 or Vista. Windows 8 seems to be unstable whether it's turned on fresh from being off, after sleep, or hibernation. Nothing seems to help unless one runs a registry and junk cleaner of which I use 3. So is it a Win 8 bug that causes the system to be more unstable? I think so. I just try to minimize the chance of a crash by constantly cleaning the system. I do know Amazon's live chat with a representative worked and this thing will leave this house.
