Buyer beware
Pros
battery life, weight, has windows7,
Cons
Screen glare, hard-drive life, touch-pad can be unresponsive,
Recommended it?
No
This was a great laptop for the first 5 months. Light, fast enough, long battery life. Screen glare is pretty bad and is difficult to use anywhere but indoors. Touch-pad can be unresponsive.
The laptop does not come with recovery disks, you have to create them yourself. Unfortunately the utility to make the disks does not work without downloading a patch. Good luck finding the patch and good luck getting it to work once you do. My hard-drive failed (as do 15% of laptop hard-drives according to Best Buy Geek) and I had no operating system recovery disks. ASUS said they would sell them to me. SELL them to me!! The nerve.
Lessons - backup often, never depend on hardware until all issues are worked out, and oh yes ... buy a Mac.
