Consider these issues before buying.  This is not a good computer.

Batter life is really a joke.  It is really shockingly bad compared to Mac Air.  Hard to get over this.
Keyboard number keypad - one of the reasons I bought this one - is just ok.  Too small to be a really quick entry number keypad.  If I could do it over I would get the model without the keypad.  It also skews the keyboard to the left, so your typing on the left of the computer all the time, which is not great for me.
Also quite heavy.
**** update after several months of use.  Cannot recommend this thing.  Microsoft Surface, which I use at work now, is superior.  Really not worth it at all unless you must have the tablet screen (but this one does not detach, like the surface).  There is no reason to buy this computer.
+++++after a few more months, more issues.  screen now going dark (appears to be a power save screen shut down) whether on cable charge or not.  incredibly irritating.  I do not recommend this computer to anyone who plans on using it as a laptop.  Avoid at all costs.

This computer is not stable, it is slow and tends to be unresponsive.
I have reset it twice,, a real inconvience , not sure if it is windows 10 or some other part of this system.

Do not spend your money on this computer. Its quirky... the hinge is faulty and will end up breaking on you.  The screen is touchscreen, and although its a nice feature, its highly sensitive and can become damaged easily and go haywire.  Do your research on issues with this computer and you will see my points. Plus Samsung customer service and warranty departments are terrible... they will do all they can to not fix their faulty products.

I expected a great deal from this computer. In some ways my expectations were met but I had 3 major gripes with this that made me have to return it.

This computer arrived and I was extremely excited to get it open (carefully, of course). I pulled it out of my box and opened up the case to inspect for any damage/oddities. The hard drive was loose and unconnected upon arrival. Whether or not this was intentional is uncertain. There seemed to be evidence that there was damage. First, the SATAIII cable was broken (as in the plastic plug was split open) requiring me to dig behind the wiring for  another SATAIII plug to use in place of the broken one. The plastic hard drive mount had seen some bending (white creases indicating weaker structural integrity). Beyond that, I managed to get the hard drive properly mounted and connected.

I plugged the computer in and turned it on and voila! It started running. Windows 8 began running as expected - it put me through the steps of booting up the OS for the first time. One major problem though: the whole screen was plagued with graphical glitches and vertically aligned green splotches (think the Matrix). I couldn't bring the computer's resolution up any higher than 1280 x 800. Upon a little bit of surfing - I figured that this was due to damage/a defective graphics card. To confirm, I pulled up the computer's device manager to check and found that the graphics card NVIDIA GTX 960 had a problem. I installed the drivers but the graphics card remained unresponsive.

My last gripe (which isn't really CyberpowerPC's fault) is simply how loud the fans were. Other reviews on Amazon hinted at this but I had to hear it for myself. And man were they right. The fan in this thing is LOUD. To put things into perspective, I can leave the computer on in my room, walk outside to my living room (about 180 ft away), and STILL hear the fan! I actually had some household members check up on my room because they were wondering what kind of power tools I was using. The fan is likely to do a great job with keeping the system cool but I simply could not have something this loud running in my home.

To sum it up: 2 instances of physical damage of the PC were observed: repairable damage to the hard drive and its associated cables and irreparable damage to the graphics card. Basically, somewhere between the computer's assembly at CyberPowerPC to the Amazon warehouse to my home, the computer had taken damage. Another issue was the loudness of the fan but that was simply my personal taste. At the end of the day, I decided that I simply didn't want this computer anymore and had it returned. I had high hopes for this computer and I really did want it to be great. But I was already fed up with it shortly after startup.

This computer may work very well for other buyers but for those prospective buyers here, beware! You may or may not receive a damaged product!

The specs on this laptop are awesome, but when I turned it on and started loading my programs it started to freeze, then the BSOD. I don't remember the last time I had a BSOD. So I did everything I could short of formatting the hard drive and SSD and reinstalling windows. This included restoring windows to factory, updating the BIOS and all drivers and the problem still existed no matter what I did. I contacted the seller and they basically said tough S***. If I can fix this problem it might be a decent laptop, but if I can't, its $900 down the drain. I would say stay away from this laptop and seller.

I've had this computer for almost 4 month. It would be a really good computer, but Windows 8 makes it impossible to work with. Every app that comes installed works around a single Microsoft password, and if you have an account with other mail like gmail, it would be a hugh pain. I had to stop working with skype, because it used my messenger account and not the one that I actually use. So had to uninstalled it and install other version.
For some reason the touchpad is incompatible with Win8 too, so the cursor disappears and I have to restart the notebook to make it appear again.
The computer feels solid, it is not light, but for the size it is not a notebook to be carrying around.
Touchscreen works fine but it is not really necessary. My baby girl enjoys it because then she has access to the computer too.

UPDATED 12/29/2014
I am so sorry I bought this computer, this was my first and last Asus. I have tried so many tricks to fix the touchpad without success. I had to buy a mouse and carry it around. I feel so cheated.
The sound card is awful, maximum volume is really low. I had a Lenovo that cost half of what I paid for this computer with a great audio system. If I ever try to watch a movie using the HDMI connection to my TV, I only get image, no sound. I switched to a Dell and had no trouble with the cable and could watch the movie.
And performance is horrible. Every time I am working on a word document it freezes and I have to wait until it recovers. What kind of computer freezes with Word???
DO NOT BUY this computer, you will save a lot of trouble.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!! This thing had major issues freezing, issues with updates, etc. and now that it is JUST out of warranty it needs over $300 worth of repairs! So, dumpster bound. Save yourself the agony of a Dell. Their products have gone downhill...brand new work laptop was out of the box 1 week before having to have a tech here to fix it...and three weeks later has to be shipped back to Dell. Last work laptop spent over 6 months back and forth with them. Dell is no longer a quality company with quality products. And I'm out a lot of $$$. SAVE YOURSELVES!!!

I do not recommend this laptop. I ordered mine and got one that was all scratched up and I wouldn't even start up. It was a piece of garbage. I returned it immediately after I got it.

Go to Facebook and look at all the problems this machine has.  Do not buy.  This is an expensive paperweight.

No I didn't buy this directly from Amazon, purchased from Dell due to the modifications that I wanted when ordering the computer. I usually go through a computer about every 18 months or so. Just rough on them, being a truck driver it has it toll on equipment. For years I would buy the 600.00 to 800.00 computers, so I thought I would step up and buy something substantial, more beefy. Well it was just the opposite. Fortunately I  bought a extended warranty on this, (which I rarely do). I have had to have a tech come out to the house three different times on hardware equipment alone, ..bad key board, bad CD drive, bad mouse, bad accessory drive cover , etc. And I will be calling again do to the key board being bad, screen hinges going bad, and a cover on the side of the computer that came off. I paid around 2400.00 for this laptop. I would of been better off buy another 6 or 7 hundred dollar computer. This one is constantly falling apart.

This computer has not run right at all. When I first plugged it in it had some weird software installed that did not do what it was supposed to do. It already came with an Administrator password. The machine itself does not look used, but I wonder if it really is. Next, the computer freezes up quite easily. It is supposed to handle graphic intensive programs, but freezes when the games are started and stopped. The only way to correct this is to do a hard shutdown. Also, when putting this computer into sleep mode, it will freeze and not come out of sleep, which also requires a HARD SHUTDOWN. When it runs, it seems to run quite well, but it runs only about half the time. I eventually tried re-installing windows, but this didn't help the problem.

I am very dissapointed as I expected more from a major pc company. This is the first time in 8 years that I have bought a computer and not built my own. Hopefully the company I bought it from will take it back with a full refund.

crash and send it back to be repaired 3 times in 4 months. No one care the feel of buying an useless laptop. You can not return it and you need to repair it yourself after the warranty year pass. I can not believe why such a disgusting laptop can be sold on Amazon.

This laptop did not meet my expectation I bought it for online classes and it keep knocking me of It could not keep up so please do not buy this computer I am in the process of returning it.

After reading many of the reviews (some good - some not so good) I thought it won't happen to me and I might have success with this purchase. Well that wasn't the case. I bought this for my 7th grade daughter to do her school work as the school caters to the Chromebook curriculum. Unfortunately, the same thing happened to her computer - computer froze up after a couple days of use and wouldn't reset itself - sending it back and upgrading to a different version. I'm not going to risk it happening again. ASUS is a great brand but there truly is something wrong with this model. Hope this helps the next consumer considering this purchase.

I got the computer for it's supposed great graphic card with an accessible price. Since I got it the graphic card has caused the blue screen at least once a day. Can't run programs like Photoshop or illustrator without crashing. Awful experience. Spend a bit more and get a more reliable brand.

This computer is okay, but I would never buy it again.  I have only had it since August of 2009 (only 6-7 months).  Here are my problems with it:

1.  [Since I first got it] Anytime I shut it down or restart it, I may have to log in 20 times before it'll work.  The login screen comes up, I type in my password, and then it shows my desktop background.  That is it.  I cannot do ANYTHING except CTRL+ALT+Delete to log off and then try it again.  Sometimes it will work the first time, but sometimes I literally try 20 times before I finally get my computer loaded up.  THUS I keep it on STANDBY almost all the time because I don't have time for it to be so unpredictable on startup.

2.  [New problem, within last several days]  I have been having this problem with my screen turning completely white whenever my computer is plugged in.  Sometimes changing the angle of the screen will help, but mostly it is just a pain.  Apparently this is a common problem.  Here is one site you can look at: [...] .  For more, just do a search for "Samsung nc10 white screen".  Trust me, you'll find stuff.

I guess it is a problem with some cable/harness connected to the screen.  I did try reinstalling the OS last night, but I am still having the problem with the screen.  In fact, a few minutes ago my screen turned black, and I had to put it on standby and start it back up again because nothing else would get it back to normal.

Ever since I reinstalled the OS, however, the function keys (mentioned below as the only thing I like about this computer vs. the other netbook I had) are non-functional.  They don't do anything.  This is extremely frustrating, as I cannot change the screen brightness or the volume, or check my battery power like normal.  In addition, the computer does not recognize when my headphones are plugged into the jack, so I cannot watch the video clip I wanted to (the sound won't

3.  Bluetooth and the Synaptics touchpad are constantly crashing, and the only way to get them back up and running is to restart the computer.

4.  The whole computer seems overall cheap... cheap plastic shell that is cracked, the battery does not last as long as it is supposed to, etc.

5.  Speakers are very quiet.  I can hardly hear anything out of them when they are turned all the way up.  I almost always have to resort to headphones, which makes me wonder what the point of the speakers is.

Things I like:

1. I like all the keyboard shortcuts (Fn+Esc=Standby, Fn+F2=Battery juice left, Fn+F5=Backlight off, Fn+F6=Sound off, and of course the volume and brightness keys, etc.).

I'm getting an Acer when this one finally bites the dust, which I expect won't be very long...  (I wrote this review yesterday, and have edited it a couple times since.  Upon finishing this review, I will be ordering an Acer - tried and true.)

The seller is fine but this computer is junk.  In spite of all of the RAM, this thing is frustratingly slow.  Every action, regardless how small, causes it to freeze and hesitate.  Even opening up the power functions in Windows causes it to hesitate, running a web browser causes it to hesitate, everything causes it to hesitate.  Even after I have cleaned up all the bloatware and skimmed down the processes.

Spend a little more to get a computer that is good.  I wish I had bought a $500 computer which didn't suck instead $250 that pisses me off every time I use it.
