Lacking a few things that would have made this computer top notch.

Pros

Quick start up
Windows 8 runs pretty smooth
Nice feel
Great display
runs cool

Cons

Speakers are very hard to hear and face downwards- poor design
Bluetooth is a nightmare
Blue tooth to speakers is a bigger nightmare
Comes with bloatware-not too much but still an annoyance
I have had some flickers on windows and a little lagging

Over all it is an okay computer and a good deal for the price. I recommend getting some speakers to go with it but not Bluetooth or you will be disappointed with the lag in and stuttering in the media.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sensible choice
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2013

This is a great machine for the price, but there are a few caveats.

The hardware is, as usual with ASUS, of excellent quality. The frame is sturdy, the case is a stylish matte black with very understated ornamentation, which I like. The screen produces a surprisingly good looking display, and at 1600x900 it's compatible with standard widescreen media. At 17.3 inches it's just big enough to pull off 16:9 without being a burden on your eyes. The keyboard's not great, but it's not terrible either. It's tough to be objective about these things when your main keyboard is mechanical. The hardware is mostly great, but there are two areas where it's somewhat deficient.

The touchpad leaves a little to be desired. Clicking is very awkward because the left and right mouse buttons are both part of the same panel that you touch to manipulate the mouse. This means that you can still click even if your finger is near the top left hand side of the touchpad, and if you're like me you may do this often, and it may annoy you a lot. ASUS does bundle some software with the machine to do gesture recognition and try and make using the touchpad less painful, and to some extent it does work; they introduced some interesting and thoughtful shortcuts - but it's not enough. The touchpad itself is not sensitive enough to be fit for general use. The good news: if you just plug in a mouse, you don't have to deal with any of this. Also I would recommend using the ASUS configuration software to disable the touchpad when the mouse is plugged in.

The other area where the machine is a little sub-par is the audio controller. It's an integrated VIA audio processing chip, and you may notice some noise in playback if you have quality audio hardware. This will worsen significantly if you use an application which attempts to play a bunch of sounds at the same time. Also, the 5mm audio port is reused for headphones and microphones, and sometimes the software fails to detect which is which. It's happened more than once where I plugged in my headphones only to receive an earful of noise. But, again, you can buy external audio playback equipment if this bothers you too much, so it's not a big problem either.

The Intel integrated HD Graphics 3000 is more than adequate for everything that's not GPU intensive 3D applications, (read: recent games). The CPU is decently fast. Similar to the GPU, it's just powerful enough that you can do almost all things which fit the profile of modern 'typical use' i.e. web browsing, word processing, etc. without noticing any significant delay. Same goes for the size and speed of the available RAM. Also, if you really need more RAM you can buy some and install it yourself - there is an available slot. (I don't know what effect this will have on the warranty, but it probably won't be pretty). The HDD is not too snappy, but with all of the new boot optimizations in software, you'll barely notice.

This brings me to the software. Like it or not, you have no choice in the matter, this system ships with Windows 8 pre-installed (the licensing fee contributes in some small way to the total price of the machine). This particular model does not come with a backup disk nor a means to create one easily, so if you mess up your install and do not know how to fix it then you are dependent on ASUS or a repair shop to fix it for you. They partition the one disk into four parts by default: EFI System, OS Recovery, OS Partition, and Data. The EFI system partition is used to store specially signed boot images. The OS Recovery partition can be booted into to try and fix whatever is wrong with the OS Partition, and will load after the OS Partition itself fails to load. The Data partition is intended to be used to store, well, data (Music/Movies/Documents etc.). This system is one of many systems to use a new system for booting which obsoletes the old MBR/BIOS based approach, which has some important consequences for you, the consumer. Now, the vendors of the hardware have the power to decide what operating system will run on the device, as well as the power to prevent other operating systems from running. This functionality has been met with heavy opposition from global proponents of software freedom, and the legal and ethical debate continues. This particular system still allows the user to enter the firmware and disable the 'SecureBoot' functionality, but the process requires some technical acumen and is only required if you intend to replace Windows with certain other operating systems. Thusly, installing GNU/Linux on this machine is a little trickier than on the older BIOS based machines, but still possible. Failing that, the i3 2370M supports VT-x and so virtualization is an attractive option if you don't want to take a risk dabbling with the firmware.

Aside from the boot concerns, transitioning to Windows 8 from Windows 7 or an earlier version of Windows can be a little jarring. The system seems to be more geared towards a touch sensitive device (which this laptop is not), and the typical user experience is vastly different from prior versions. Only after extensive reconfiguration and tinkering was I able to put the machine into a state that I was comfortable using, but that is of course very personal and your mileage may vary.

I give the laptop four out of five stars: the hardware is mostly great but the software not so much. The frame, the general build quality, the screen, and the keyboard are good, but the touchpad and audio controller are a little lacking. The new firmware offers questionable benefit while taking away the consumer freedom, and Windows 8 is still not really suitable for a machine of this form.

It took a bit to get used to Windows 8, after all, change is hard at first. I do like it now, and the computer itself is very nice, especially for older eyes. I find the larger screen is a big plus and the keys do not seem less responsive than the others I have had (only reason I hesitated on buying when I read a few reviews). I am happy with my purchase.

Well it is now January, this does not work unless it is plugged in, and the keyboard has keys that only work if you hammer them while typing. Please do not purchase this only to be disappointed. I had bought two different computers from ASUS and the other still works great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy with my Asus
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013

I shopped for a long time for a 17" laptop. I'm glad I held out for the price drop on the machines with Intel i3 to get this one. The instant on is really nice. I've adjusted to the keyboard easily. I do have smallish hands. Battery life is so-so, for me about 3 hrs, but not a problem as I went with this size laptop knowing I'm not going to be hauling it around with me very much. It has everything I want and need: 3 usb ports, HDMI, DVD/DVR, camera & mic, Bluetooth. Screen resolution is fine for me to surf the 'net, MS office, and stream movies. One who is a gamer or movie buff will need to put out more $$$ to be satisfied.
Cons: I miss having a backlit keyboard; placement of speakers often require that I break out the headphones. I can live with both.

I unboxed it, plugged 'er in to charge and she booted up and ran perfectly. Programs I installed went without a hitch.

Now my 2 cents on Windows 8. It wasn't as much of a nightmare as I thought it would be. Navigation took a bit of getting used to and some things were hard to find, ie control panel. I can see how having a touch screen would make the experience a different animal. At first I thought I would be taking Asus up on the downgrade to Windows 7, but since this is the only computer I own with windows 8 I can always sit down to my desk top if need be.

Kudos to Asus for giving the option to downgrade to Windows 7!

I love my new lap top. It has so many apps on it and I love how easy it is to find everything. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it in the beginning but after the first week I was sure this was right for me. The key board is different than I have had before, this one has soft keys that are a nicer feel when pushing them. Not sure how to describe it but I love the keyboard. I would recommend this laptop to any of my friends or family. It is a great price for what you get. You will be very happy with this laptop
