The way ASUS did their drivers could be MUCH better. I actually had to do it twice before it worked right but all is well now. To fix this, you will have to get the ATK driver package off their website and install that. Uninstalling all the ASUS software will probably cause you to lose the functionality of the dedicated volume buttons. Makes for an easy upgrade of RAM.Ĭons: *You have to be careful about what bloatware you take off.
*The 4GB of RAM is via 2 2GB sticks which leaves 2 empty slots. *I'm more of an AMD guy but can't beat the Core i7 in a laptop! *No visible screws anywhere on the case which is a nice design touch. *Touchpad is actually pretty good, multi-touch and I usually hate touchpads. *Great heat management (It's hottest is my old laptops coolest!) If you're a big Linux user I would maybe look for something without Optimus, although perhaps it will be working in Linux relatively soon. I would take a look at the XV1 too as it may suit your needs better if high resolution is important. Overall Review: Overall it's a pretty powerful laptop at a good price. You'll probably need to re download ATK or something. Tons of bloatware - be careful removing it as it will be easy to disable the hard function keys on top. No recovery disc or OS Disc - took 6 DVD's to make recovery. Some may not like the keyboard although I don't have any problems with it and I'm a speed typer. Optimus and Linux do not get along very well Good cooling system if you're right handedĬons: Resolution is a bit low, the XV1 (I think) is a good option if considering this laptop.
