Had to get 4 laptops before getting a working one.

Not sure how many stars to give this computer.  I am on my 4th one.
I got the first from Amazon, and the screen was fuzzy, like it wasn't connected tightly maybe?
So I returned it and got #2.  The touchpad didn't work.  Attached a USB mouse and found that the computer knew it should have one, but that it was "disconnected".  I wasn't opening a brand new computer up, so I returned it for #3.
#3 got here a day later (Amazon's return shipping was amazing!).  Opened it up, touchpad didn't work, so I sent it back.
I was ready to give up, but I figured things happen in 3's so I'd give it one more chance.
#4 got here, and the screen was clear, the touchpad worked, and I was ecstatic!
After several hours of setting it up, I got to the CD loader, and couldn't get it to open with the button.  It's really cheap, and rarely works.  However, this is easy to work around with using the "eject" button from the main screen.
But I should NOT have to have spent a week doing QA for ASUS.  It is ruining their brand name!
I guess all PC manufacturers are too busy being cutting edge and don't care about quality anymore.
But I've been on the 4th one now for a few days, and I'm happy with the memory and CPU performance.
I even figured out win8 (You HAVE to download the "start menu" program from CNET to make it like Windows 7, but it's worth it.
All the Microsoft bloatware that comes with Win8 is slow, stupid, and sucks, but that isn't a problem with ASUS.
I don't know why someone would want their computer to act like a smartphone, and the emulator to make it such is evidently quite a beast, because it's SLOW to use any Microsoft Windows Appstore apps.

Also, the 1 TB drive is partitioned into 400GB for C: and 600GB for D:.  Not sure why since Windows wants everything on C:, but that's easy to tweak.
Another thing to know about this is that the VGA port doesn't have room for the screws that come on most (older maybe?) monitor cables.  So you can either buy a VGA to HDMI adapter and use the HDMI output if you want to dock it, or leave the screws ungrounded, depending on what your cable allows.

Bottom line, if you're willing to play laptop roulette until you get a working one, it's a nice machine to have.  Not sure if the problem belongs to Acer or the Amazon packaging, which wasn't really spectacular.  In fact, the first one they sent me with 4lbs of cat food sitting on top of my laptop.
Overall, the PC is good.

This would be an AWESOME laptop if it would boot up. I was super excited to get this on Christmas morning. Turned it on and went through the typical set up. The dell diagnostic software advised that there were several updates that needed to be done so I let it do its thing. The BIOS update finished and said SUCCESSFUL and it rebooted. It hasn't booted up since then. I just get a black screen. No POST. I called Dell and spent 1 hour and 54 minutes on the phone with a tech support person. In the end, he proceeded in trying to convince me that Windows 8 needed to be reloaded and that he would send out a disk. This laptop doesn't have a disk drive. So then he told me that they would replace the motherboard. This is not a good resolution. It's brand new and cost me over $1400. I don't think I want to have anyone tearing into it and replacing parts already. So the tech took my number and said he'd need to speak to a manager and that he would call me back in 1 to 2 hours. I'm still waiting. No call. I realize it's Christmas day but they too should realize that this was a gift and I feel very badly that it isn't working. Kinda spoils the excitement of Christmas.

The laptop over-heated, and as a result, its motherboard died while the unit was on after 3 months of light usage. The warranty also doesn't cover if you don't have the original receipt according to the rep I spoke with. (while Toshiba doesn't require you to have the original receipt for the warranty.) It was a nice laptop, but I'm very unsatisfied about this very incident. And their phone tech support is not too good. They've hired bunch of reps that don't have clue what they're doing. They just read what it says on the screen. Also I had time understanding their English.
Edit: I just received the laptop back from Sony, and many other problems started happening.  My Fn fuction keys are not working anymore, which means I cannot change the brightness and contrast of my LCD, volume, and video out.  Plus, my fan rattles excessively. I was on the phone with rep for 3 hours and no help. I explained the problem and what might have caused this to the rep, but he just ignored me and kept reading what was on his screen. I am looking forward to sending this laptop in for another repair!!

Stopped working on some of the computers we tried hooking up to it.

I ordered this Dell Latitude for my daughter for use at college. When it arrived it had apparently been damaged in shipping - but I didn't know enough to know that. It didn't help me that I started working with it on a Friday night and Tampa-Laptops was not open on the weekend, nor are they open after 5pm Eastern time.  Since I work full-time it was difficult to connect with the supplier to help me determine what the problem was. It worked sometimes and sometimes would lock up or shut down.  Then it started working so I loaded software - but then it really locked up. My daughter was really disappointed.  I have a friend who is a Dell Engineer who helped me find out how to diagnose the problem which ended up being a hard drive issue.  I did return it to Tampa-Laptops who either fixed it or replaced the hard drive.  Even though I asked them I'm still not clear what they did.  I received this computer yesterday, about a month after my initial purchase, and it booted right up and appears to be running well so far.  It is an older model and does heat up quite a bit compared to my newer HP but for the price it seems to work well and the display is very crisp.

It was not a good computer. Three different sites would not open. It was very slow and the screen went black once

I read reviews prior to ordering.  I needed 4 but it sounded like failure rate was high, the reviews were correct, 4 out of 6 units worked.  Not sure how to get my money back on that.  It works great when they work.

I bought this laptop to DJ with. I only bought it a month and a half ago. I've used it 4 times and now it doesn't power on at all. I've tried all the troubleshooting sets and it's still a $1,500 paper weight. I'm now trying to figure out how to get it repaired. My Macs have been going strong for 5 and 7 years now.

Update. 4-13-16
Just got my laptop back. Customer service was very quick and easy. I shipped it out the same day i called. They replaced the mother board, I was told that they may reinstall the OS but wouldn't touch the secondary drive with hours of Video DJ work. Both drives were erased. I have backups but they need to be arranged. I will update in a month or so on how the laptop is holding up. Being a Computer Tech, i understand that a unit no matter what type it is has the possibility of failure soon if not out of the box. I still have hope for this PC

Not all of them worked with the machine I have so half of them went to waste. The ones it would recognize were good though.

Nothing wrong with it, basically, it just didn't fit my needs.  I have used Dell, HP and other brands, but a ThinkPad is my laptop of choice.

We bought one kit to see if it would work in our Dell Vostro 3500. It worked fine. So we bought six more kits for the rest of our same model computers. Only two of the six worked. The four that didn't work were actually different kinds of memory, with four large chips on each side instead of having eight smaller chips on each side like it shows in the picture and like the three that worked for our computers. The packaging was all the same but the memory was different.

My past experience with laptops was not a 2-in-1 machine, so I'm not used to having the power, volume, and "windows" buttons on the side. This can be a bit frustrating if you inadvertently hit them. Other than that, my previous machine had 8 GB of RAM- so the 4 GB of RAM, while sufficient for most tasks (browsing the internet, netflix, minimal gaming), can be the cause of some "lag" when trying to multi-task. (This lag is bearable, but expect it).

Laptop has given us lots of issues - mostly hardware - disk reader now not working - will have to send to Dell and be without for who knows how long -

He offered me a new computer which was not the case, extra battery was bad. In spite of all equipment used it works well.

I bought 2 HP laptops and have had nothing but trouble.  1 laptop had to go back to the shop three times:  once because the bracket connecting the screen to the keyboard broke, once because the hard drive was defective and once because the sound card was defective.  One time I sent it to HP and they returned my computer still broken.  My other laptop had to be returned to the factory because the hard drive was defective.  I have had to do so many system restores (and in fact did one last night) and lost programs that I had to buy (Word Perfect).  Even though it was supposed to have been repaired, my itunes library still doesn't play right.  The music will skip.  This computer is a huge disappointment.  I don't even use the computer anymore because it is so annoying. Vista makes it even worse (although I think hp finally realized this.)
