the only con i have is that i cant find a way to use my headset that has 2 jacks to work.... i cant only use the audio i can never get my mic to work if someone knows a fix please help

Most of the hardware is solid, and the default power settings are actually solid: if I run in Power Saver mode, I can get five or six hours of unplugged use out of the system (with a noticeable drop in performance), and if I run on High Performance...

Unfortunately I've had some terrible experiences with most of the attached input devices. I had issues with the keyboard losing keystrokes from day one, with about one in every fifteen keystrokes missing - I think it might be an issue with the design...

This laptop is an awesome buy. I decided to get this laptop for mainly school work, but I also wanted the ability to play some games. This laptop definitely won't be running anything on max but I play most games just fine: BF4, AC3, Counter Strike: GO,...

The only cons I currently have with this laptop is that the screen is definitely not the best and could definitely be better. It doesn't have but one good viewing angle and the resolution could use some work but if your like me you probably have a TV...

Very quiet ; Great performance thanks to the i5,840m,8gb ram, its a solid laptop ; 1080p screen ; Full number pad ; Got a great price, $630

The Track pad's left and right button are part of the pad, didn't care for this design ; The converter was at the end of the cord where the plug to the wall is, i fine the ones with the converter brick in the middle better, because mine gets unplugged...

Good screen, Graphics card is plenty powerful. CPU nothing to complain about. 8GB of RAM is plenty even if 4GB of it is stuck to the mainboard

Battery life is shoddy, The touchpad is unresponsive and the smart gesture software doesn't help, unlike other ASUS laptops I have had in which the touch-pad was the best thing about the machine. After about 2 weeks the C, 1 ,2, 3 , and Enter keys...

Great finish ; Cool to the touch while running ; Offers a good mid range GPU and mid range CPU ; Has a DVD drive...which is sadly disappearing from new laptops in order to reduce weight

You have 8 GB. 4 GB is soldered to the motherboard. 4 GB on a DIMM slot. This really kills future upgrades for the RAM since it's not a great idea to mix the stock RAM with a separate higher speed 4 GB DIMM ; As usual, bloatware on the laptop

Has a dedicated GPU that gets the job done. Don't expect to max any games out, but the amount of RAM and CPU are more than adequate for most applications. Games are playable, and perform pretty decent, just not at max settings, like I stated above....

The actual material that this thing is made out of seems a bit on the cheap side, especially evident on the LCD screen. Just seems to flimsy to me, so I would recommend getting a protective case to put it in. Overall, my biggest complaint about this...
