this this this this this.

so sick of super sucky resolution on these laptops. Cracks me up that a 15" laptop comes with less than 1/2 the resolution of some 10" tablets.

Not a balanced system. Slow Drive, Not good resolution. If they want to have a i7 CPU, they better have decent Drive, Memory, and Screen to go with it. Don't buy this crap, Go with a i5 with a fast SSD and good resolution screen for same money and you will be happier than this. .

all good to know comments, i will pass. thanks op and all.

How is ASUS, looks like all of the reviews are good but sometimes it is hard to tell!

How does this compare to the Toshiba L855-S5372 that was at Staples for $452.50 last week? I know the Toshiba is better but is this one even close?
The specs on that one:

Staples deal had a little more RAM (4gb vs 6gb), and a bit more HDD space (640gb vs 500gb). I don't care about HDD sapce too much, but 4gb of RAM is too little for me (I am a crazy multitasker), hell even 6gb is a bit low. I prefer at least 8gb which is the most you usually see stock in notebooks. Either way, this is still a great deal. The Intel 4000 graphics is actually pretty decent, I have one in an i5 notebook and it runs a lot of games (such as Diablo 3) very well even with the details on medium-high (just have to turn off shadows).

I would take Asus over Toshiba any day. Better quality stuff.

Fully agreed!

I don't understand the high end processor with a slow drive and a 4GB of RAM.

And to top it off, a 0.3 Megapixel camera!

Every single HP laptop advertised here has an HD camera.

I would not recommend this laptop to anyone. Buy an i3 laptop for $200 less and you won't feel any difference in performance.

consumer laptops aren't good but for the price

TU thanks, will upgrade to 8 gb of ram for ~$20. Love my last ASUS but could use an upgrade.

76 sold already, will probably sell out today?

Edit: just hit FP, so yup.

Why do people complain about having a slow drive? Most people will take out the slow drive and put in a 128 or 256 ssd for cheap like a M4. Then use the mechanical as an external for swapping files and image backups.

The resolution is the only valid complaint, should be 900p, but won't get 1080p for this price.

Memory is another cheap upgrade, but ideally should come with 6 at this price.

i bought an asus notebook once. it's a gamble. always buy 2 in case need to RMA one, because you may not see it for a few or four months.

any new chipset coming out this year?

For basic adobe premiere editing is this a good laptop to use?
