The only thing I can gripe about is no where on the add did it spell out the processor specs. I did some digging and thought it was a quad core when in fact it is a dual. Also I would have liked a 1 TB drive but overall for the price it was still a pretty good deal.
This product is... Easy to set up and is lightning fast, A nice compact size

What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: No problems to date
This computer was a replacement for an old unit that was too old to upgrade. It was an easy installation and is working very well.

What's great about it: No better deal on the WWW. Best deal on earth. IS NOT a refurb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's not so great: Nada

New. USB 3.0 . 4gb RAM. $299. Giga LAN. HDMI
No where in the world will you find the line above, and then consider its all from BB and ASUS, this is bar FAR the best deal in computing.
And easy to upgrade if your needs require it. RAM, SSD, GPU, what ever you need.
This product is... Perfect for Business, Easy to set up and is lightning fast, A nice compact size

What's great about it: Expandable to 16gb ram
What's not so great: Nothing
I was looking for a new pc for my 14 year old son. When I came upon this ASUS machine at $ 100.00 off I decided to make the purchase. It's expandable to 16gb of ram, allowing it to run mulitiple applications at one time. I found an 8gb ram upgrade for $ 25.00. For $ 325.00 I had a solution with a pretty decent processor, video card,12gb ram, 500gb hd and Windows 7 64bit included. Very happy with purchase.

What's great about it: Windows 7 and fast
What's not so great: None so far
I bought this for my daughter, for school. Her old computer was slow, I have been looking for a few months now. I was looking for a used computer but the one with windows 7 was running about $219-$250. And they were not even close to this one. So far it has been great I was surprised how fast it is. Great deal so far.
