Happy owner of 13" Toshiba PC laptop, its very thin with a metal case. Running win7 and trouble free so far. Added memory a couple years ago to
8gb. Years ago I was invested in PC with work related programs, now that isn't an issue. Next laptop will, however, probably be a Mac......
I have had no virus related issues since installing Norton 360.

Tony and Doug --- yes I listened to you two and others, however, I also did a lot of research on my own and ASUS just kept coming out on top! I
certainly take FULL responsibility for my choice.
Mine may be a dud. I bought it at Costco, so if it turns itself off one more time, it is headed back to Costco.
I don't understand how they got so much Adware, Malware and viruses in such a short time when they reinstalled the OS. They put Norton on the
computer after dumping my Kapersky. I prefer Kapersky and it picked up on 4 viruses right away after reinstalling it.
I just could not believe the other programs that had helped themselves to my computer while it was in their hands. I should have made a list of all
of them.
I do hope I can get it totally cleaned up and it will last for a while --- back to reinstalling software.

Take a look at Glary Utilities. It's a great program with all sorts of utilities to keep your system up to snuff, get malware off and keep order of
your computer.

If you have satellite internet on a HughesNet 7000 do NOT buy a Chromebook, unless you work only during the wee hours of the morning. There is no way
to turnoff automatic updates. We have a wifi system that we share and the very first 1.5 hours that a Chromebook was added to our system, it FAP-ed
us. I did some questioning over the internet to the Google group and they recommended that I not allow Chromebooks on our system. Very
interesting...but ...

Maybe I am just not fussy, or smart enough to get in trouble, BUT I have been buying used laptops for Baja since dirt wuz rocks, and aside from abuse
damage, have had almost no problems. I try to keep 2 or 3 working laptops with the same OS and when one shows signs of fatigue, just switch to
another one....Currently have 2 dells and a Lenovo think pad....paid less than 100 bucks each on ebay.....

Gees --- old thread, but I will say that my ASUS has been back to the factory a few times and it is still a piece of junk! It shuts itself off and it
is not hot, the touch pad quits, the touch screen quits, on and on.
I will probably buy another one soon.

How was the ASUS for graphics Diane?
I bought Alex a dell laptop paying no attention to the screen. Later I realized that we had to look perfectly perpendicular to it for the colors and
tones to be visible properly. My macpro doesn't have that issue. Actually it exists to a very small degree.
Thanks
