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.
