I needed a laptop fast. The store I went to was sold out of the HP I wanted to purchase so I ended up going with ASUS as I remembered a computer tech telling me ASUS was good, he said not ACER. But ASUS! It's been over 6 months I've been working with mine and I felt the need to post a review on how great my experience has been, way better than HP, for sure. Super satisfied and will definitely return to ASUS for future needs.
