Seems like $2,300 is a lot to pay for a computer now days... For those who have the computer, is it worth it?

In a single word--YES! I needed the larger screen and the speed. This was my second all-in-one system and I really like the concept. So part of the cost is reducing the foot print of the system. Another plus is you only need one power cord and no external signal cables. It does support USB cables to devices.

It is quite a price tag, but worth it for us. My wife uses it for professional photo processing and editing, and the combo of RAM, processing speed, and most importantly, screen size and outstanding resolution made it the right choice in our case.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help.

Just use google.com and you´ll see that the hardware costs over 320 $, the manifacturing costs bit over 12 $. So now show me a laptop with these configurations for under 300 bucks.

For me it's definitely worth it because I hate waiting on computers, especially when I've a lot of data to transfer which I often do. If you don't have a lot of data to transfer or if you don't mind waiting a little on computers to do their thing, then save your $24 and go buy a couple of drinks and celebrate your at-easeness in life.USB 3.0 is extremely fast. No, it won't limit the 7200 rpm.

yup, i guess they increased the price since its only newegg and amazon that has this laptop, plus amazon takes "2 to 4 weeks" to ship, so newegg took that as an opportunity to make some extra profit ( bastards)i cant afford to wait that long tho :(amazon might end up getting my extra $50... sigh...although... a friend of mine placed an order for this laptop from amazon... two weeks ago.. and he got it last week friday...so i guess it could take a lesser time than amazon claims it would.

I don't know why it is so expensive. However, I do suggest you to stay away from this laptop, as I had lots of issues with it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. But, everything on the pc that is in the picture is really there. I just checked mine. It's a great computer, but I bought it at $399.99.

Chrome OS is amazing but I heard it is free from Google. Then why the hell should I be paying $449 for a LCD screen and a Key board. It is damn expensive. I would pay around $110 for that piece and another $49 for Chrome OS. (As I will have to pay for Apps Separately). I know that the concept is different but apart from an Online source for your data, This product doesn't make any sense for $449 when you can get a new Win-7 laptop for $299.

Loooks like Asus is coming back to earth.With competitin fro Acer Aspire one they first tried $50.00 rebate on 901 which probably did not work now they dropped price by $100 on 900 and 1000 series and $50 on 16 G linux 900.They had priced these things unreasonably high.But still Acer aspire one 160 gb XP is still a better deal.

I bought one of these for my wife she only checks e-mail and browse. I had to add more memory because it was a little slow. Also after two years the battery died, I;ve been trying to get a new one for cheap for most of the reviews say it will not fit that well and the battery dies after a while. The original battery cost 129+tax is not cheap. So I would say that if you are planing to use this computer for a while then buy a new model may be it will cost you a little more but I'm sure it will last longer than this one. If you are getting a really cheap price then go for it but just remember about the battery that is the only problem I have with the one I bought.I hope this helps I bought one of these for my wife she only checks e-mail and browse.

As a life long Apple user I'd be the first to tell you if it was worth it for the Apple display, but it's not, not when this screen is $300. This screen would be amazing if it was $600, thats how beautiful it is. Don't get any ideas Asus. Seriously though, don't get the Apple Display. If you buy this screen I personally promise that by the end of month one, you'll love it just as much as the computer you use it with. if you're a gamer I would pass on this display, but for everything else this is what you need. I'm looking at it right now (it's hooked up to my PS4) and i'm smiling. Thats how happy this amazing screen makes me, but to answer your question, it's works perfect with the macbook pro.

I own that computer, buy it! If you don't like it you can sell it for about double that. It's pretty cool though, and nice and small if you travel.

apparently its $576 now! haha. this thing wasn't worth the $40 it cost when i got it. if i could find it i could offer it at a bargain $350.

Yes. I was shocked at how good of a deal this was. It is an excellent computer for the price.

If you do lots of photo or video editing, it might be worth it to spend the extra $300. Graphics are up to 4x faster with the card.

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

I was stated $695.00 after the 1st year for updates,which i think is outrageous. Note:i have one and it has been very eratic (would not buy again)
