Compare, contrast, rejoice in PC style superiority, we don't mind.

Asus, hoo-ray!!

I bought this to share with mom. We immediately upgraded via online to Win8 Pro and are still getting to know Win8. But all signs are good. The keyboard and mouse that came with it were DOA, and I need to talk to someone at ASUS about that, but I had another wireless keyboard and mouse that works great with it. Also there aren't enough USB ports to suit me. For the price, I think it'll all be okay when the Fat Lady sings.

Hmmm... EVERTHING will all be o.k. when the Fat Lady sings, because it'll all be over then. There will be no need for laptops when it's all over.

I still haven't forgiven Asus for my laptop. Why bother selling a 64bit laptop if you aren't gonna write the BIOS to support more than 4GB of RAM?! I can actually get the laptop to boot with 8GB of RAM installed, everything is just really really slow!

Honestly, I don't see anything that makes these laptop prices a "good deal" compared to anywhere else... The specs are all low-end and some are generations old, and on top of that refurbished! The actual value of the computers, starting from top left and going right, then bottom left to right, is approximately: $410, $275, $325, $225, $180, $200.

The >$500 laptop is the one that is the biggest rip-off... For between $5-75 more, you can get a brand-new quad-core i5 laptop with 4/6/8GB RAM, 750GB-1TB HDD (maybe w a 20-32GB mSATA Cache SSD), 15.6" 1920x1080 WLED-LCD display, and if you are willing to go to about $650 you can get a decent discrete GPU (GT645M)...

I LOVE ASUS, but these deals STINK!

Yes. Here's a new Asus 3rd gen I5 laptop for $100 less than that 2nd gen refurb. It does come with less ram, but meh.
