This I3 processor is more than enough for most people. Not sure how the (rather silly) 4gb of RAM will impact performance. I briefly had this I3 in a 8 GB RAM notebook and it ran well. If the screen is nice
I'll keep it, otherwise back it goes. Has a backlite KB, which is must for hermits like me.

I have an ASUS laptop, two years old and the thing is like a tank. My son just dropped it and broke the screen and I was able to change it without issue for $100, but the rest of the device is unscathed.

Their tech support is good too.

Not on this specific device, but I give a thumbs up to their products.

I was slow to pull the trigger on something like this during Cyber Monday due to having purchased a Lenovo Duet and needing to return to Best Buy. Buying this time, thanks OP!

Not as good of a deal as the HP Costco, Thanksgiving, a few years ago, but close.

Good to know. I'll get in my TARDIS and go buy one back then.

What's the problem with the duet, if you don't mind me asking?

Good price for the hardware. You can even use Chrome OS Flex whenever you don't need Windows app, which should be pretty smooth even with 4G RAM
