After playing around with this laptop for a week or so I think I should be able to write an informative review. Some of the pros so far are: 1. Beautiful body. The laptop is really sleek, shiny, and looks cool. Its definitely the type of laptop your friends may question you about. 2. It is not slow, because I had feared this when noticing the 1.3ghz processor. 3. The screen is really nice. Its actually fun to work on this laptop. Sadly for me, the cons outnumber the pros: 1. The speakers are terrible. They will be okay if you are watching a show, but don’t count on great movie/music quality. 2. Although the body is great, it smudges too quickly. 3. When I type, I feel like I might break the keyboard (It flexes way too much on my left-side). The chiclet style keyboard looks cool, but does not feel durable for my work. I’m into programming, so its a bit awkward putting your fingers on very sensitive keys. 4. I’m not a big fan of the optical drive, because if I place my hand on it, while carrying the laptop, I feel like it might crack or something. 5. The touch pad is great, but the click-button is horrible, its too hard to click. But mostly I use a mouse. 5. The webcam is a joke, its pretty bad.
Overall, since I bought this laptop from here at Amazon for only $750. I am trying to complain not too much because for the price its a good buy. But that’s all it is. A good buy. I wish ASUS asked me to throw $150 – $200 to them more if they could agree to install better speakers, webcam, and keyboard on this laptop. But hey, I’ve had it only for a week so maybe my perception will improve as the time goes by? Awesome battery life by the way…
So why would I give it 4 stars even when the cons outnumbers the pros? Because it looks so freaking cool for the price!!! Seriously, its nice to ‘look’ at, and works pretty fast. Not to mention, Windows 7 is heaven.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to comment to this review and I will get back to you. Maybe.

I bought this laptop two weeks ago and it runs great! The only complaints I have are that it did not come with MS office or a good virus protection. My son-in=law had to put a good virus protection on it and now I have to buy MS office. Other than those two things it is great for internet and email.
