After owning a few laptops, I have learned what I like and what I don't like. This laptop is absolutely perfect. Almost never need to charge the battery. It lasts so so long. Perfect for MS office work and web browsing. I haven't tried it get, but it would probably hold up well to Mathematica and Matlab work as well. The mouse pad can be a bit touchy. However, like every laptop mouse you get used to it and learn the tricks to make it work the way you want. The screen is not to small, but not to large. Overall, I think it is perfect. The camera is great for skype or video conferencing, haven't used it for anything else. If your going to be rough with your laptop, this one might not be the one for you. I noticed, while not unsound or not sturdy, it does, because of its size, make you think you might break it. I am not rough with laptops, so I haven't seen a problem, but I could foresee if someone throws the laptop around or bumps it a few too many times it might effect it. <br /> <br />Overall: Great Buy for a portable business laptop Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this laptop to replace an HP laptop I previously had.

I am a consultant so I needed something light and powerful going back and forth to my client's place of business. I was a little reluctant since my previous computer brands were IBM and Dell and never heard of ASUS. So far it has been great...I love the feel of the keyboard and got used to the mousepad rather quickly. The mouse pad is sensitive so I do find, while typing, my thumb will inadvertantly graze the mousepad causing the curser to move elsewhere in the document. Easily solveable with an external mouse. It is so lightweight that I just throw it in my briefcase, leave the powercord at home (becuase the battery lasts all day) and I'm on my way. Also, the boot up time is very, very quick.
