ASUS X750JB-DB71 17.3-Inch Deal

M. Erb : I am not going to rate this laptop poorly because it does not have a touchscreen but it is something that you really need to consider if you are thinking about buying this laptop. I've struggled for nearly a year with a Lenovo laptop that also came with Windows 8 and also does not have a touchscreen. You may regret getting a Windows 8 laptop that does not have a touchscreen.

S. R. (USA): Let me start by stating that I am a novice laptop user, thus, this review will be free of the technical jargon that can otherwise be found in more expert reviews. My initial impression upon unboxing the Asus laptop was that it was very sleek and stylish looking. The concentric circle finish really does eliminate those annoying smudges and fingerprints. I was also surprised to see the layout of the keyboard was similar to a standard PC keyboard, with enough spacing between the keys so as to not be a hindrance to those with thicker fingers.

N. Krumpe (Ohio): Some background: I'm not a PC gamer, so I'm not able to comment on things like frames-per-second on various games. I'm sure other reviewers will touch on the gaming goodness or badness of this laptop. Rather than gaming, my PC life is focused on business applications...I need Microsoft Office to run quickly. I need to take frequent screenshots. I need to collaborate on Google documents. I also do/teach Java programming, so I need an environment where I can quickly throw together a program, compile it, and run it.
