Sleek, black and powerful

This seems to be a sturdy, well-designed mixer. The inclusion of the dough hooks and the whisk was a selling point for me, since I bake on a regular basis and I didn't feel like I could afford a stand mixer. (Also my kitchen is on the small side--hard to find space for another appliance) Here's hoping the VonShef lasts as long as my old Hamilton Beach mixer: 14 years!

Where I work we upgrade computers every few years to stay current and this last round we started issuing X1 carbons to our road warriors. In turn I've got to play with them being in the IT department and I love this thing. It is very sleek and stylish, the battery is good and the display is amazing. The one thing I don't like is there is no "dock" for it like my previous X220 laptop however you can still connect an external monitor to it. I do use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse from logitech so I just plug the dongle into the usb port so I don't have to mess with additional keyboard and mouse cables when "docking" this thing.

It's an awesome computer, I really like it and it seems to be standing up well with the companies road warriors that have been issued them.

The 55LW5600 is energy efficient, has great color, dark blacks, and is responsive.  The 3D is more than acceptable and it plays well with my 360 and PS3.  It is amazing how thin this unit is considering how well it performs.  Amazon delivery service literally delivered within 1-minute of the beginning of the scheduled delivery time.  Amazing service.

This laptop is super sleek and light. Its amazing how this little machine compares in specs to many of the gargantuan laptops but this one is better, its SUPER light and great as a portable machine.  As a student I needed a portable device but didn't want to settle for less-than-great specs.  This machine has everything I need and its great looking!  BUY THIS LAPTOP!  I searched for 3 months until deciding on this one.  Don't let its little size throw you, its super packed and is better than most out there.  This ones a keeper.

I was surpised to see such a crisp output. The blacks are very deep and the noise reduction is awesome. I also hooked this up to my PC and it really helps with my multi tasking needs.

Also it is a great value. I picked this up for 300 which was well worth it.

It's got a sleek look that matches the slim's design.  The fans do a great job cooling the unit.  Designed with the slim's hard drive bay in mind.  On high, the fan pushes a lot of air with average noise.  The rubber spacers on the bottom and those holding the xbox are quality and precise.  No complaints.  Well worth the price.

Small, sleek and powerful. It works very well. It charges my phone quickly, and has about 3 full charges in it. I travel for work and usually by the time I get on the plane my phone's almost dead. If no power is available at my seat. This little guy does the trick. My phone is charged in less than an hour.

I bought this heater and I was so impressed by its slimness and perfect design as well as the herat it exuded. It's so sleek and beautiful. It radiates heat quickly and can be controled from both LED display screen and remote control. What should be mentioned is that it has two power options to choose from, 1000/1500W. Overheat peotection is very thoughtful, children can aviod any hurt. I hung it up in my bedroom (wall-mounted) and I'm satisifed with it as well as the service.

Nice quality build!  It looks sleek and has enough weight that it feels sturdy.  There is a fan noise but it is very quiet so not sure what the other reviewer was talking about it being so loud that they could not sleep with it in the same room.  I really like the fact the outlets are 3 prong to accommodate a grounded plug and having the 4 USB charging ports is just a must have in any kind of charger.

I have already recommended this product to other friends that travel internationally.

Excellent. Very efficient. Sleek. Love it. The blue light is ok. It lets me know this thing is alive. I recommend it.

This thing is a beast, the sleek black look with modular design is everything you ever want/need! I love the design of this power supply over any others and i have had multiple power outages and still no damage runs like a champ, will be buying more xfx power supplies in the future because i love this one so much!

While this is no Antec, Cooler Master, or any of the other upper end cases; it is very sleek and functional. My power supply of my old mini tower was on it's last legs and instead of just buying a new PSU, I wanted to also shrink the footprint of my desktop. I came across this APEX case with a 275W PSU. I was a bit concerned about the PSU of this unit, but it powers my old system without any issues. I am currently running a C2Quad 8200, 4GB DDR2, DVD-RW drive, and a 250GB HDD. Since putting the computer together, it has been on 24/7 for well over a month now and has had no issuses.  I did however change the case fan that it came with as it was loud, I put in an 8cm Antec, 3 speed(switch controlled), dual BB case fan set to medium airflow...the case is now very quiet.

This is the largest laptop I've ever bought and was a little leery, but it is surprisingly sleek and light for its size... somehow more-so than the last laptop I purchased (15.6"). The full-color customizable LEDs on the keyboard are just plain cool. It's quick and all of my games run faster on 'ultra' than they did on 'low' before (I don't have any newer games yet -- newest is Skyrim unless you count the newest version of WoW! I'm upgrading from a machine with half the RAM, previous generation i7, and Nvidia 220M). The screen is bright, colors are great, and picture is crisp and better than my external monitor. The sound is better than any laptop I've ever had. Loud and clear, and doesn't distort as you turn up the volume.

Windows 8.1 makes applications outside of gaming feel a bit sluggish, it's slow to leave sleep, and every time I reboot it 'updates features', gets to 100% and sits there for like 20 minutes. I've already updated it to most recent updates from Windows Update so it's not that. Not a fault of the laptop though I think... still looking into that!

Issues of the actual laptop: it came with a stuck-ish/dead cluster of pixels. If I lightly tap on the screen they flicker back on, but eventually they go out again. We'll see how that pans out. The battery makes me giggle -- it's teeny-tiny in both size and capacity and I don't understand why they wouldn't give a few more cells to such a powerful laptop. I also don't understand why the 1TB HD was split in two. It gets super-hot when it's really working but has a fan with a nice boost... which makes it quite loud, but keeps it cool enough. Will need to invest in a cooling mat!

All in all I'm really liking it though, and really can't beat the price I got this at!

This is definitely a powerful and exceptional product. It feels like it was quality-built, and it definitely shows. The laptop feels a little weighty considering how it LOOKS, but compared to other laptops, its actually pretty light. Considering its made mostly of aluminum, it kinda makes sense. Even with the weight, its not like its super heavy, its just not tablet light (like it almost appears it should be because of how ridiculously thin it is).

Listed above I mentioned that the screen has issues. I read lots of other reviews about how the screen sucks for this laptop, but I figured honestly, how bad could it be? So I bought it. Honestly, its not really bad at all. Its sharp, pristine, and has a matte-esque shine on it. I personally don't really view my laptop at retardedly sideways angles, so I don't know if it has "bad viewing angles", but I do know that in some instances, text within certain applications almost appears fuzzy, like it was zoomed from a lower resolution and not fixed with that microsoft thing "cleartype". This appears to happen inside of gaming applications primarily, but I've also seen it in places like the control panel and such. It is definitely unusual.

Also, I mentioned that the speakers are not amazing. Really, I can't even call it a con, but I would never call it a pro, they just don't sound that great. I mean, I've only had my laptop for a short while, but it seems like they are just really... light sounding. No body. And though they do a good job at surrounding you as far as laptop speakers are concerned, the aren't great. Seriously though, they would not impede you as a casual user for listening to movies/music and such, you just probably wanna hook up headphones or something if you want it to sound good.

EDIT: The touchpad still isn't amazing and wonderful and all that, but apparently some of the default software(bloatware?) that ASUS has installed on here [ASUS Smart Gesture] actually has a setting in there to disable the touchpad anytime there is an external mouse plugged in. This has remedied the most pressing issue on this laptop.

Now I write about the bad because most people are more concerned about whats wrong with a laptop than whats right with it. This is still an exceptional piece of work, I don't regret the 700$ I spent(found "used-very good" actually meant the box it came in had a scratch, not the lid of the actual laptop) I spent on it. This will help me through college as a programmer, and as a student that needs to game on. If you think this is what you're going to be doing, I think you should stop thinking and just buy it.

I got this for my Boss at work and he freaking loves it. Its sleek and has a great texture and feel to it. Powerful.

Amazing laptop.  I fell in love with this (on paper), but the price tag was way too hefty.  I recently found one at Amazon warehouse for 50% of what it normally retails for so I pulled the trigger.  It hits all the high points for me.  I've used different zenbook models before, with their known quirks and faults.  Granted I've only had this one for 48 hours, but so far, so good.

It's slim and light, sleek and sexy.  I don't know what else to say for aesthetics; for my taste, it is exquisite, and it does it without the sharp edges people have complained about in other Zenbook models.

The CPU - i7-4558u - is more than enough for normal computing tasks.  Feels slick, fast, and powerful as it looks.

The memory, while soldered in and non upgradeable, should suffice at 8gb.

The dual SSDs in Raid0 are a treat, breaking down the normal barrier to faster computing.

The screen is gorgeous, stunning, crystal clear, bright (turn off the automatic dimming in power settings!)

I run everything at full power, all the time.  I get around 4 hours on battery and I'm completely fine with that.

It is silent, cool, and quiet.  The only time I've heard the fans even spin up was when I was doing an image restore from external hard drive, and I wasn't booted to windows with it's Intel drivers controlling fan speeds, etc.

I'd be hard pressed to find a 13.3" Laptop with a better keyboard.  Tactile feedback, dark keys with white backlit letters, nicely spaced.  Nuff said.

Trackpad is great as well.  Sensitive, yet gives satisfying click with seperate action on the left click and right click sides of the pad.

Wireless AC is great as well, which when paired with a Wireless AC router, allows for great transfer speeds to other machines on my network, or to a storage tank hooked up to the AC router.

I did have issues - but I bought from the warehouse so YMMV.  When I received it I had one drive as C: / D: / Restore, and one drive as non provisioned at all.  It took some digging around as I'm used to there being a RAID bios to set up an array.  The BIOS itself was set to RAID operation mode, but still there was no prompt or keystroke which would get me in to a RAID bios.  The manual and knowledge base were lacking for info to set this up.  Eventually I installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology from Intel's support site.  Upon running this I was presented with the option to make a RAID1 for redundancy, or a RAID0 for performance.  Of course I chose RAID0.  The utility built the array while the machine was up and running.  No down time needed.  I deleted the restore partition and the D: partition, and extended the C: partition to consume the entire 256gb.  Easy peasy.  I make a habit of backing my machine up weekly to an external drive anyway, and I've already had occasion to restore it from a backup due to a dumb configuration error on my part.  Booted to Acronis rescue USB media, and restored an image from external drive in minutes.
