I am not sure about what laptop to get, I always look at the reviews, and this one looks pretty good. Should I get it?

I bought this laptop refurbished and on-the-cheap as a second laptop a few months ago, and am extremely satisfied with it. I do not use it for Internet access, just for personal work for which XP is preferred. The seller's service is excellent and warrants five stars.

It's a good computer that's for sure. Small, fast and mine has a brand new battery. Can't say the same for other sellers batteries.

I am not great with computers, but I will tell you that the CPU seems bogged down most of the time. I think editing videos with this laptop may be a slower process due to some of the lag. I think the laptop is a good idea for school, since that is what I use it for. I hope this helps a bit.

I'm a med student myself, actually already an MD here in my country, but plan in taking my step 1 this june... anyways, I have to recomend ASUS, the laptop has 5 stars build quality as well as performance! I actually bought the ASUS UL80vt, and fits perfectly to my lifestyle, and just so you know, that 12 hr battery thing is for real!!! you should get the ul80vt instead, its quite faster and better at multitasking than the ul30A-x5 since it has turboboos technology, also the screen is 14.1 and comes with DVD drive, which you may not use as much, but I prefer to have it than not.... BTW, go with the Silver model, it looks nicer!!! happy shopping!, let me know what you went for!

Can you still return it? That was one in a long list of problems I experienced (overheating, random shut downs, sound cutting out, programs crashing...) Luckily I was able to return it before 30 days. Consider a touch screen laptop. Way cheaper, more memory, less bugs and hassle. Good luck!

If your gaming, go with the x4 with a GPU.If not, then whatever benchmarks are higher or best deal at the time.

7. This laptop is great. All depend on what you're using it for. There are not a lot of accessories. The processor is amazing, graphics not too great, but you never have to worry about storage.

Actually that is what I need too. this laptop is good enough for us. some people do not like windows 8, but i like it. it is like a smart phone lol. only one thing bothers me is u may need to sign up for a microsoft account. since i am not a high-tech person, i have signed it up with my email. i still have no clue what that is for lol. well, the price is very reasonable for us. if you wanna experience windows 8, i think you should go for it. I love HP, my husband has the same one like this. my sister-in-law has an older model pavilion. we love it! hope i answered your question.:)

Search Chromebook 2 benchmark and see what you come up with. Some of the early indications don't sound real promising. Still, until there are some reviews that really put one through its paces its just speculation, as benchmark tests aren't always the end all be all of performance. I pre-ordered one and will be writing a review. Fingers crossed.

So far it has been a great laptop, I preferred Windows 7 and it was configured with this version. I had a HP laptop and this one seems solid, besides the HP motherboard died after about a year and a key broke. It's fast, I'm not a gamer so if this is your main hobby I have no idea what it will do.

There is no catch. My answer is based on my purchase a year ago. The deilvery and shipping were good, the laptop works fine. I think the price is reasonable because it is not much of the gaming laptops but rather your daily business use (or that's how I use it.) I love it :) I think the price might be 'cause its windows 8, when 8.1 is out already, but that is my assumption.

This laptop is works great with programs like photoshop, running smoothly even when I use tons of high resolution layers. I have not had any experience with video editing but I do not foresee it being problematic. It has the i7 processor which is something that would be very helpful for video editing and also has the very nice GTX760 graphics card, which though not the best out there, is still not shabby and I would expect it to be at least sufficient for video editing. It also has two slots for RAM so if the 8 GB doesn't end up being enough you can replace the RAM it comes with to get up to 32 GB of RAM.

Bro, an ultrabook for 500$, you take what you get! The machine is plenty fast enough for popular needs. The most strenuous activity I use it for is video djing, and it's plenty fast for that too. If you're looking for a machine to do something like video editing, don't be looking in the 500$ price range! Overall, it's a great machine for the price.

Hi Seth. I red some bad reviews about this computer too.But these are not about reviewed this computer. More like sellers. I guess I got lucky. Mine is all fine as I wrote my review about this computer. This computer is hard working machine! !

First, if you are set on a 14 inch laptop like I was, this one is the deal. You can find better pricing on 15.6 inch lappys but generally they aren't as powerful. They still may meet your needs as the tendency is to overbuy. Look at the top 100 list for amazon computershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/ref=pd_dp_ts_pc_1.Second, buried in the reviews for this laptop is a coupon code for an extra 50 bucks off. I don't know if it's still valid. Then the laptop is 470. That is what I paid and I feel like I got a very good deal. My review is "So who needs an Ipad?" by TooLazyToDriveAround.

it is amazing laptop, however i would wait until the new version hits the market (has a much more powerful gpu and almost retina display similar to apple products), should be pretty soon!

The computer is now dated, so don't expect to have all the same features as the latest model, but if ya just want a big screen to watch dvd's and a decent experience on the web, it's good :) as for productivity, the apps on it are decent but ya can't update it, which leads to a dated experience, but still enjoyable. So if your looking for a cheap but decent experience it's good, if you want a "work horse" of a computer for productivity, then this is not it. Hope i helped a bit :)

Thanks for the tip. It's partly a psychological pricing thing for me... if the Eee get's much over $400, I start wondering if I should be buying a regular laptop.I realize that it's somewhat an "apple and oranges" thing but still...I will definitely be running Linux and just the bundled software. I want it for school and maybe a little entertainment -- Music and my collection of DivX videos (if those can play. DO you know?)
