This seems like a good deal on an entry-level student or basic word processing/web surfing laptop. With a full HD screen, 8gb of ram, and a relatively modern Core i3 processor, it appears to have better overall specs than other laptops around the $200 price point right now (though similar deals were available a few months ago).

I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death. The Geek Squad "FIXED it" THREE times, but shortly after I got it home, same thing, BSOD!
Sent it into the ASUS service center, and when I got it back 15 days later, got BSOD twice within 4 minutes. They said the warranty does not include any replacements or refunds.
I will never buy another ASUS product. And will avoid buying from Best Buy also.
PS - This is the one I bought:

April 25 EDIT: I talked to the Best Buy store manager yesterday, hoping that they could step up & help a loyal customer out. Nope! But he did take this opportunity to tell me that I should have bought their ($180) Total membership plan (within 1 or 2 weeks of purchase), so that I might have been eligible to have gotten store credit or exchange. No, I don't think I will.
PS - Asus has a D- rating at the Better Business Bureau - Failure to respond to 83 complaint(s) filed against business
