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.
