Is This Asus Laptop A Good Deal?

[jackbristol]

Heya

I've found a laptop that I think is a good deal. If someone who knows about computers could tell me if this is a good deal I'd really appreciate it. I'll even buy you a pint next time I see you out.

Here it is: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/175974

I just need it to be fairly fast and efficient for work. No fancy graphics or anything needed.

My price range is 350-500 pounds (19000 - 27000 baht).

Any input, even a "yes" or "no" would be great. Alternative suggestions in that price range would also be good.

Thanks!

Jack

yes its a good deal,

windows 7 is very new,and with 4gb ram it will work very fast.

Jack,

for 400 Squid it looks like a good deal.

Find out why no Intl Warranty is offered.

I bought my 15" Asus in Aus with a 2 yr Intl warranty.

Cheers guys. I'll give them a buzz before ordering to see if I can get int warranty whacked on. Maybe pay a bit more for it.

That's an excellent deal. The cheapest laptops out here that come with pre-loaded Windows 7 are around just under 30,000 baht, and they do not have as good specs as the one you have found.

I concur- sweet deal and a sweet computer. I'm a fan of ASUS - been using their motherboards for a long time, and my current laprop is from them. It has been trouble free and hasn't missed abeat in 18 months.

DO enquire about a two year international warranty... mine has it, as I believe all ASUS laptops do.

Just a warning... Windows 7 is fast only in the beginning... after a month or three it is slooooow!

No it's not.. Of course if you treat your Windows installation as poorly as many people do it will become slower, but so will XP and Vista.

Just don't install every single program you find and forget to uninstall them again.

Well if you mean that installing Incredimail and an antivirus program is "treating it poorly" then I fully agree. I also agree that XP and Vista have exactly the same problem.

You must not care for her very much if you are going to get her one of those expensive / unreliable pieces of crap.

Buy an ASUS product instead.
