Say, I would like to tell you first, any pc, laptop, tab or phone you buy don’t you ever judge it on its looks . this asus R558ur is new, light weight, easy to handle any looks good specially you have the things like metal, there is nothing great as having a laptop of single one metal. and at last I would like to say, I have seen and more bit used this laptop . depends upon the version you choice . but metal is just awsome
