I have a ASUS notebook selected after a long decision-making process, because the technical data exactly correspond to what I expect from a notebook. Since I'm not a player and Blu-ray supporter, I have decided for the version with a 750 GB hard drive and a DVD drive. The installation went very smoothly, and uploading my data on the home network went smoothly. The quality of this laptop is more than just good! I have not yet possessed no notebook, whose fan is completely quiet and almost inaudible in normal operation. Only in the conversion of video turns on the fan, but is not yet disturbing. The speakers are - also thanks to the supplied subwoofer - compared to other notebooks tip, at least for the operation in the living room - but who wants to also provide sound parties? The display is of excellent quality: very good anti-reflective, bright, super sharp (thanks to Full HD) and the viewing angle is more than sufficiently wide. Overall, the keyboard offers a more than comfortable writing, thanks to the backlit buttons are easy to see even in a darkened room. The touchpad I immediately banished because I ordered a wireless laser mouse from Logitech, together with the notebook. So I can not make any negative statements also on the quality of the touchpad. All in all I am very satisfied and recommend therefore this device further!
