ASUS K55N-DS81 15.6-Inch Discounts

Ms Milk (Georgia) :
I bought this laptop for $379 and it is definitely a great deal. My only dislikes are that there's a number pad squeezed in which makes it harder to type, the battery saving mode negatively affects the wireless (this can be turned off under the advanced power options), you need two fingers to scroll, and the speakers are really tinny. I use it for internet and mild gaming. It can run the Sims 3 at 50FPS, Minecraft, Skyrim, and Cube World beautifully. The Max RAM is 16GBs not 8 like the details say. I loved that it did not come with bloatware. Norton and a few pointless Windows 8 games were the only things I had to remove.

Dave (USA) :
Product is nice, good wide screen, adequate performance. Bought this two weeks ago as a family machine and it serves the need admirably. As an IT professional I see lots of machines, this appears well made, solid feel. I added 4 GB or RAM, which I would recommend. One problem is with the touchpad in combination with Windows 8: certain movements are interpreted as "gestures" and frustrate the kids. Generally, Windows 8 is a bit of an issue for all.

Yes, windows 8 takes some getting used to, but this laptop made it easy. I thought I would buy a wireless mouse to help me navigate, but the Asus track pad is very good. After a few weeks, I no longer need the mouse. You just need to learn how to make it work with swipes, taps, etc. I also read the previous posts and using the windows with the x key bring up the "old drop down menu" to reveal the familiar items we accessed using the start key. So far this meets my needs. I use Quicken and thus the apple laptops were out of the question for me. I am not a gamer, just google mail, internet, and with the rain and heat wave checking the weather often! I set up a tile on the windows page to have easy access to google and quicken.
