Customer Review

I ordered this laptop because next to my Mac's even a notebook with Windows needed (for practical reasons, since the compatibility of Apple in some ways has limitations). Since I already knew from the past Asus and the price looked interesting, I ordered the unit shortly.
As the supply thanks to Prime the next day was with me, I was very excited about the content and on Windows 8, because I still had no points of contact with it. The packaging was quite unspectacular, as one of 0-8-15 notebooks it's just normal.
The content has me then but a little surprised.

Quality: The price erosion in notebook now rapidly of goes is indeed nothing new, but that this notebook will be manufactured in such a poor quality, I would not have thought. On the housing part, however small threads were of the casting machine (or how ever may be called). The plastic used is found probably in some Dacia and Lada models again.
The keyboard would have from my Windows 98 PC can be.

Power:
-The Performance has still surprised me with the 4GB memory a bit. The notebook does what it should and that too in a pleasant s speed, which probably was because it was not zugebombt with tens of Windows Updates. Because I think in the long term could create a problem because Windows is indeed known to inflate and slow down everything. For surfing, Office and a few programs should be enough but the hardware.
- If you want a budget laptop for Skype etc., should click on quickly! The webcam is unfortunately associated need for nothing.
- Windows: Since I usually work only with private Apple and professionally with Windows Server 2003, I was very excited about Windows 8, since one hears different opinions. It is beginning to get used to but by the handle, as you already noted that it 1 to 1 shall also apply to tablets. With some training but you got along so well, since Windows Windows happens. I can not really negative, but nothing innovative take for me at the little trip.

Conclusion: One thing first: As I have already mentioned above, I'm actually pure Apple users, which is why I prefer a little more comparing here.
Those looking for a notebook that is used only occasionally or should be a stepping stone, does not make much wrong with the price. However, then some taps are due. Who sets much value on quality, had better grab something deeper in your wallet and look for another model.
