Reasonable build quality ; Great screen and keyboard ; Good battery life & performance

No HDMI port or ExpressCard ; Weak graphics ; Horrible speakers

Came with a Core 2 Duo T5870 @ 2.00GHz not the T4300 advertised ; Build quality ; 4+ hour battery life ; Good warranty ; Good price

Touchpad is too grippy when sliding your finger, buttons are too hard to push ; The LCD is mediocre at best, poor viewing angles ; 5400 rpm hard drive ; Too much bloatware ; Fingerprints, fingerprints, fingerprints

Usual high quality Asus build w/ good materials for the price. This is the only reason this thing even gets two eggs ; Comes with XP Pro downgrade...sadly I had to use it

Buyer beware...if you plan on using XP Mode in Windows 7 this laptop is NOT for you. The processor in this lappy does not support virtualization...a prereq to XP Mode ; No dedicated Gfx = lag everywhere ; NO XP MODE

Very impressive as far as speed goes ; Im not a huge fan of bundled software but the power4gear is very neat to quickly change to a battery saving mode ; the battery can easily last 3 hours of use ; the screen size makes it very portable ; core 2 duo...

bundled software.... nothing a fresh install wont fix ; the sound is a tad quiet but thats true with most laptops ; webcam is so-so... also true with most laptops

ASUS is known for their high-quality build standards. I have no doubt that this is mostly made from the finest components available. It also comes with an XP Pro downgrade CD

The screen is the worst I've seen on a notebook in a long time- the colors look washed out, and I could not find any settings to change that ; XP Pro downgrade still installs a bit of crapware (junk programs, like an antivirus trial)
