4.0 out of 5 stars Great notebook for the price., November 8, 2010

This review is from: Asus K60I Dual Core Notebook PC (Refurbished) (Personal Computers)

Pro:
I had Windows 7 Home Premium, 500GB hard drive, 4GBs of RAM, and a 16" screen. It plays 720p videos great. I was even able to run Combat Arms on it.(Although only on small maps.) It has 4 USB ports and wireless N for fast wireless connection. I personally don't like having my hardware partitioned out so I combined all the partitions into one.

Con:
This notebook has 2 things that bother me about it. The touch pad is VERY sensitive. I can't tell you how many times ive made mistakes because the back of my thumb barely touched the touch pad. Also, the sound card has a very low buzzing noise coming from the left channel. Now after doing some experimenting I found that its caused by the wireless network. If I were to disable the wireless the noise went away.

Thoughts:
All and all the notebook is great buy for the price. I did a lot of research into brands and Asus came at the top of the list almost every single time in hardware quality and longevity. Now this notebook be refurbished it does not come with the warranty you would normally get with a new notebook but, it does come with a 3 month warranty. If you looking for a cheap notebook to do your school work or any type of writing this notebook is for you. If you like games and watch high quality HD videos this notebook is not the best choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Getting rid of the hissing noise, November 13, 2010

This review is from: Asus K60I Dual Core Notebook PC (Refurbished) (Personal Computers)

I bought this computer back in April of 2010, and I have to say, the computer is pretty good. Even after about 7 months, the computer still starts up and shuts down quickly.

As for those who have encountered the hissing noise, I have a solution that will get rid of the noise (it was annoying for me through the headphones, especially).

In the bottom right corner of the desktop, right-click on the sound and click "Playback devices." Then right-click (or double-click) on Speakers and click "Properties." Then go to the Levels tab, go down to "PC Speaker," and click on the little blue speaker button to mute, and then turn the knob all the way down just for good measure.

Then click Ok.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Asus K60I Dual Core Notebook PC (Refurbished) (Personal Computers)

Please know this is a great little computer. I got it for my daughter to take to college. She loves it. Please just realize that the one Amazon sells here is NOT NEW, but REFURBISHED!!!! They don't say that in their description, which is just wrong! When it arrived "refurbished" was written all over the box. I called Amazon customer service and they stated there was a problem with this page and that they were very sorry, that it was a mistake. I notice it still sells for the higher price of a NEW one and still doesn't say "refurbished" in the discription. This is just not right! I might even have considered keeping it because the price was actually good, but there were no instruction books, papers or any kind of documentation enclosed. I sent it back and went to Best Buy to buy it, but had to pay more. SO BUYER BEWARE!!!
