5.0 out of 5 stars Great Computer, April 6, 2010

This computer is very nice. The computer is very sleek looking and is light. The battery life is around 8 to 10 hours. the build quality is excellent. The wide keyboard is very easy and nice to use. The computer is very fast lots of memory processor will get most anything done. The only reason not to get this laptop is if you are going to be playing high performance games. This computer does not have the graphics card for that task. There are similar models that have better graphic cards but are more expensive and you don't really need it unless you want to play games. This computer has everything needed and more for the average laptop user.

I am 36 and purchased this laptop for school. My main points of purchase were long battery, life, and portable. I am not a gamer or anything involving photo or video editing/photoshop type stuff so I cannot comment on those areas. I am an online student who does online research, classes and use microsoft office. I am very pleased with the performance of this laptop. I feel like I did not have to compromise on any of the things I was looking for. It is so light and thin and the battery life is just amazing, I never would have thought that a full size laptop would be able to achieve this, (@6-9)hrs depending on what you are doing. I also did not have to give up having an optical drive and the numeric keypad is extremely useful, especially for school work (math/statistics). I love, love, love it!!

Very well built machine. Impressed with matte soft plastic around keyboard. Keyboard itself is little odd because of numerical part, but this is a matter of habit.

Didn't try a HDMI output, but 720p mkv runs well on it. You need to uninstall most of the preloaded third-party(non-ASUS) crap to run it even better. Preloaded games from Oberon was the only third-party software, which I left. I addicted to one of them. A switch to better Microsoft Essential Security from the preloaded Trend Micro, disabling most of add-ons in the IE8 improved performance.

Sound quality is acceptable.

The quality of camera can be compared to the quality of my camcoder attached to older toshiba laptop. Which is also good.

Packaging.

Some envelopes of the enclosed DVD disks were ripped, looks like someone opened them up with shaken hands, but the box was sealed once and appeared never opened. I prefer to blink on that, considering the price after rebate.

Overall, good laptop to edit docs, surf Internet and watch videos.
