ASUS Flip 2-in-1 TP500LA-DS71T Laptop (Windows 8, Intel Core i7-5500U 2.4 GHz, 15.6" LED-lit Screen, Storage: 1 TB, RAM: 8 GB) Black

I bought this computer last July, so it's been almost a year. It's a wonderful laptop! It continuously works lightning fast, and I've had no issues with how it runs at all. I multi-task on a rather extreme basis, and this thing still keeps up with me. The touchscreen works very well... better than the Acer touchscreen laptop that my husband has. On his, we sometimes have to touch it 2 or 3 times for the computer to figure out what we're trying to click, but this one always seems to know. (It appears to be a software difference, not a hardware difference because his laptop does register the touch with the little circle thing it does, it just doesn't seem to realize that we're trying to click the box 1mm away.) The screen brightness does not work well in sunlight, but I knew that buying it. I also knew the speakers weren't that good, which isn't an issue for me... I usually have headphones and it's great through those. It's also heavy, but that's what you get when you want a 15.6" laptop. It's still lighter than my old HP of the same size. It functions great and is fast, which is what I care about. The only thing that was less than perfect was that the letters wore off some of the keys only 4 months into owning it. My kids say it's my fault... most laptops don't have to withstand someone who types 100wpm and works on it for 15 hours/day... but my old HP laptop's keys usually lasted about 1 1/2 years before they were wearing off. I'd let it go for another 6 months or so until people wanting to borrow the laptop complained that they couldn't find the letters, and then I'd buy a $30 keyboard off eBay, open up the thing, replace the keyboard, and keep on going. I did that 3 times for that laptop. So I consider the letters and coating on these Asus keys to be lower quality. Unfortunately, as of right now, you cannot buy replacement keys or keyboards for this laptop... so I contacted Asus about the warranty. This is why I'm still giving 5-stars despite the keyboard issue... I contacted Asus about it, and they gave me an RMA with a postage-paid FedEx ground label with no problems. I sent it back (which took 5 days from OH to CA), and they signed for the laptop at 7:30am last Thursday. They sent it back to FedEx at 11:30pm the next day... and paid for expedited shipping back to me. And yes, it is my actual laptop. When they shipped it back so fast, I was slightly concerned that they'd swapped it out for another unit, but nope. It's mine with a new keyboard. I was not expecting 30-hour turnaround, nor was I expecting expedited shipping back to me, but I'm sure happy about it!

Bought this as a travel computer. Already had a desktop and a heavy (9 lb) laptop. As a result was looking for something that would run office, Photoshop, reasonable Python and R programming projects, and would flip for when I was reading my Kindle purchased content. After much thought, opted for the i5 rather than the i7. One article indicated the performance difference was about 10% and purchasing more memory would be recommended. As this came with 8 GB rather than the 4 GB with some other systems, this seem to be a reasonable compromise when compared against paying an additional $170 for the i7. Came with Windows 8.1 and upgraded the next day to WIndows 10 which I really liked. One word of caution. I actually upgraded all three of my computers on the same day and the upgrades were all straightforward and smooth. However, I had used a mouse while performing the ASUS upgrade. Later when I disconnected it, the Touchpad had stopped working. Had one bad experience earlier with Tech Support, but this time around, the technician was great. Apparently, Windows 10 can disable some features. It was a ten minute fix. You may not have the same problem, but be aware if you do that it should be quickly resolved with tech support. Now to the critical part. Did the machine meet my expectations, particularly because I went with the i5 rather than the i7. I have been using all three machines in different capacities and the feel on the ASUS is comparable. By that I mean that I do not perceive any noticeable difference when running on the ASUS. So it passes my original objective of purchasing a travel computer. A couple of things to be aware of. The screen is directional so you have to move it back and forth to find its optimum viewing position. When you do, the screen is very sharp, The keyboard is flat and for some people that is an issue, but would say that it is typical of other laptop keyboards. It does come with multiple USB ports. It does not come with an optical drive, but again, it is something that I do not need for a travel computer as I can always connect an external drive if that was needed. The hard drive is divided half into apps and half into data. That is a nuisance, though Windows 10 is intended to make storage opaque to the user. It is possible if you need less storage and want more performance to upgrade to a solid state hard drive. Finally, the approximate 5 lbs is much less than my other 9 lbs. laptop but certainly more than my wife's 3 lb laptop. So, if your need is for a reasonable mobile computer, I have found this to a solid choice for the price. If you are looking for a cutting edge mobile computer, you can expect to pay for more. But as you can see, this computer met my expectations for how I intended to use it. I did have some frustrating startup issues, but they were quickly resolved. I have given this five stars as a travel computer, but if you are intending to use this to replace your main computer, the rating would drop. It comes with a reasonable set of features, but less than what I would want if this was to be my main computer. Overall, for the price, I found it a good value.

Great laptop,highly recomended for anyone looking for an affordable laptop for school. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it doesn't have the fastest boot up time for my taste.
