This laptop from asus is probably the best laptop when it comes to raw specifications at that price point. You get a latest i5chip with 4gb ram( expandable) .and a 1tb hardrive with dedicated 2gb graphics from Nvidia for gaming purposes. No other brand will provide you such great raw specs at such a low price point .but this is a product where the powerful sprcs are let down by poor optimisation of os and certain cons which turn out to have a great effect on the user experience. First let down is the full hd panel. Though the display claims to be full hd the viewing angles are crap and the display becomes the main let down of the product.Apart from that. The hardrive on the laptop is dreadfully slow at 5400 rpm and thus the boot times are quiet slow. Other than these two primary cons the trackpad and keyboard on the laptop are good and it’s a overall value for your money.
