The old standard, improved.  A cheap and extremely functional design.

A very good laptop with descent speed and very good looks. Desirable option at this price.

Great value and performance, but take care that if you have a 3 year old machine, it might not have the hardware to give it the full performance

Kids needed a set of headphones for school. Picked up this pair based on the exceptional low price and good reviews.  The actual performance for $10 is unbelievable.  I will buy a pair for myself.  Performance wise these are right with $100+ headphones.

High performance at a sweet price. I use it to upgrade my T400s and find the laptop work much more swift.

Really slow speed. Not much was expected for the very low price but I will certainly be upgrading to a faster and slightly more expensive one.

A beautiful, effective unit at a remarkably low price

If all you want is Quad processors for a low price, buy this. If you think you are getting an all around super fast desktop (or gaming system) keep looking. There are over 220 different Quad Core variations now, ranging from "CPU Mark" of 10,181 ($8,000) to 1,704 ($500).  This model is rated at 3,257 by PassMark software.  Windows Experience Index (Windows performance rating) is 5.4. This is fairly good, and the graphics card can also record TV/video. If you upgrade to a really powerful graphics card, you DO have enough in the power supply. PROS: Quiet, cool-running 2.33GHz Quad processor. 8GB RAM, but it does not run at the full speed of the bus. Lots of media ports. Externally available SATA drive bays (unusual for this type of desktop). Very expandable overall. Upgradeable to Windows 7 (not free). CONS: Harddrive speed and size is only average. Harddrives run warm. Very cheap DVD drive (mine broke within a week).  This is a great system for someone who knows how to tweak Windows to get the best balance of speed and function.  The outside is all plastic, but the inside is well built and all well designed metal.  I especially liked the pop-up media ports and the externally available plug and play harddrive ports.

I'm a bit biased because I've been using ChromeOS since the Google CR48 came out - what started as a relatively basic browser only OS has now morphed into something quite incredible, and I'd say I can get 95% of my usual stuff done with Chrome. So, having access to a small desktop that offers this same OS is fantastic. This little machine sells for under $200, and takes the place of your large and overpriced desktop.

Performance is incredible, it is always ready to use and you don't need to deal with patches, malware protection or other headaches. The hardware on this new Asus is pretty basic - 2GB ram, dual core Intel CPU and 16GB storage. But even with these basic specs, you end up with a machine that does almost everything you need. I say almost everything because there are still quite a few things it doesn't do well - including gaming, video editing and photo editing with local images. Sure, there are games, and there are image editing tools, but if you are looking for the latest and greatest, this is not the machine for you.

If however, you "live" in your browser, then replacing your old and clunky desktop is extremely easy and affordable with this Chromebox

Great casual laptop - awesome performance for the price. It's a tricky thing to find both performance and mobility, but this one works. It's lightweight, but with the brushed aluminum case and rugged bottom plate, very durable. It doesn't flex and I love it. I'm a tech and I'm in and out of all kinds of places so it's great to have a quick laptop, that's lightweight and a great fit.

There is a small hit to resolution (720P), but honestly unless you have a dedicated GPU, there's no reason to go to 1080P because it wouldn't be able to game higher than 720P reasonably anyway. Mine streams excellently from my gaming rig at home (any game at well over 75fps), so I don't need to rely on it anyway. Regardless it stills plays league medium settings 50-70fps and CS:GO medium setting 45-60. More than enough for me for a laptop of this price range.

The backlit keyboard is awesome and the speakers surprisingly loud. I never put too much stock into laptop speakers, but these were actually quite loud. My wife and I can watch Netflix in our bed and hear it quite nicely.

Overall a really great price. When I purchased it was $449. I'm not sure it's worth the asking price of $600, but definitely a steal at $449. I purchased a sandisk SSD 480GB to replace the HDD on board and this thing really does fly. It's like it knows what I want to do before I do it. It responds immediately, no hanging or lag. The 8GB of ddr3 RAM can answer for that.

It only has one audio port, but it is compatible with inline headsets that have mics. Which I didn't know but found out when I plugged my phone headphones into it. It's neat!

It doesn't have a disc drive or a VGA port, so I might not suggest it for everyone. But if you're looking for a durable, quick, lightweight, low cost laptop, this is the one you're gonna want, as long as you're okay with no disc drive, VGA port, and 720p.

Tremendous performance on my Macs. Great benefit at low cost.

Very fast performer for a relatively low end cpu.  98% of computer users don't need more power than what this provides.

If you're looking for a portable thin and light laptop, with over the average performance with a tight budget, this is a great option.

PROS: size and weight, fanless (no noise at all), great specs in average, nice looking.

CONS: speakers sound very low and altough the full HD screen has nice definition there is a yellowish tint which I don't like (whites could be "whiter"). It is probably a result of the matte screen (good for reflection though).

All in all, I think it is the best deal in market today.

unbelievable quality for such a low price. This tiny printer packs a wallop.

Good price/performance ratio on this little card.

I love this laptop, absolutely love it to death.  Great for low-end gaming and performance if you're into that stuff.  I got this on sale for around $450, so I thought, what they heck let's give it a try.

Pros:
-Plenty of RAM
-Fast
-Somewhat light
-USB 3.0
-Nice Screen size
-Great keyboard

Cons:
-Only 2 USB 2.0 ports and 1 USB 3.0 (But no worries you can buy a hub)
-Short battery life for travel use.  It only has around 4 hours of simple use and around 2 for performance
-Poor cooling performance
-Power brick gets really hot

**Update**

After a while now its been about a year since I've had this, and I am very displeased with this laptop.  It seems to be getting slower everyday and the sound quality through my headset and microphone have went down too, and I know for sure that it isn't either of them as I have bought brand new ones recently.  The CPU gets unusually hot for some reason and the boot time every week or so has gottten longer by a few seconds.  I've tried deleting some of my files but everything is too slow.  As soon as I get the money I'm getting a better PC and throwing this heap of junk away.

This computer is an absolute bargain if you know what you're getting and have realistic expectations. Amd integrated gpu/cpu chips are great, especially the modern ones. However this will not play any modern games, maybe not even on low settings. But it handles high resolution video and older (2012 or older is your best bet) games just fine. My reccomendations for this pc are as follows.

1. Upgrade your ram to 16gb, which will cost you about 60 USD. But it will improve the performance massively since the integrated gpu hogs some of the ram you use for itself.
2. Buy a cheap SSD, I got a 500gb samsung one for 160USD. This is the most important upgrade for the laptop, it increases the speed of literally everything you are doing, and is less likely to lose data in the unfortunate event you drop your laptop.
3. Wipe out windows entirely (which you will have to do if you get an SSD anyways) and do a fresh install, this gets rid of all the hp bloatware.
4. Keep your graphics drivers up to date if you want to touch any games with this, I can play Fallout: New Vegas on high settings.
5. (optional) Dual Boot an easy to use version of Linux such as MINT, Linux requires less overhead and you will have better performance while browsing the web, watching videos, etc. And windows will still be there for programs that have no Linux equivalent.

So all together with upgrades this computer cost me about 500, and its a damn bargain. I can play all my older games, I can program, I can watch movies. It's everything I wanted it to be because I was realistic with what I was getting.
