I have been using this laptop for the past 8 months and I am truely satisfied with the performance so far. It got 4 GB RAM with 500 GB HDD along with 2 GB graffics card which allows us to play heavy games and stuff. It is smooth to use. I specially use it to play games and in my experience it is awesome and cool. Overall asus laptops are cost efficient with lots of other features and comes with cool designs.
