other than the sound problem how would you rate this computer? Speed, function and general use?

Reasonably fast, touch screen works well. Touchpad defaults caused a lot of trouble early on with accidental swiping of the various windows 8 screens, but those were corrected in settings to customize as we needed. Battery life is ok, not stellar. Size is good. Overall, very pleased so far. No other troubles yet with it doing what we're trying to do!

I don't know. I'm satisfied with it. Sorry, but I haven't done anything very demanding with it to really comment on its performance quality.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

Its a great netbook for that price. But It depends on what use you give it.Recomended for just browsing internet, facebook games, Word, and netflix. The Ram its small for this PC. I'm running it in all low quality to get more performance. Oh, and the wifi, have problems whit older routers, watch for routers who works with windows 8 wifi.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think this computer is too slow and clunky for gaming. It's a great computer for other things, such as spreadsheets and office work, and fine for photo work.

I neve did any gaming on mine, but I watched a substantial amount of movies on it and never had any processing troubles, so I would imagine that some light gaming would be alright. And I believe, at least mine did, came with windows 8 already installed.

You mean the keyboard doesn't work anymore? I have not had any problems with my unit and I'm very happy with it. If I had to complain it would be not being able to upgrade the 128GB RAM. Other than that I am extremely pleased. Good luck with your problem. Sorry I couldn't help.

It's powerful enough to handle basic video editing (chopping together home movies or YouTube videos) and could certainly handle music editing. I've played some games on it and they seem to run smoothly. It does not have a discrete graphics card, only packs 4GB of ram, and has an tiny 11" screen, so this definitely isn't a gaming laptop, but it will play your basic PC game.

Hello there, I haven't had any problem with it so I really don't know. Please consider that this model is an old model and very slow, I bought it 2 months ago and I will replace it because of this. Cheers!

It runs very well. It has a good processor and works better than a newer HP laptop that I purchased at Walmart for $375 For $175.99 you are getting a great deal. The only thing I didn't like was the small hdd, which I replaced with a 500gb one.

I honestly do not know. I brought a lemon and everyday something goes wrong with it. I'm not even going to try to rip on this computer. I just don't trust it. I do have another Asus , that I LOVE, it is a 10 inch and does not have a CD player on it but it is also brand new so we shall see if it start's to fall apart also then it will be no more Asus for me. The sound on the computer's is also awful. I would be looking for a better computer with better sound. I believe this is either a Monday Hangover or a Friday can't wait to get out can't wait to get done computer. I hope I have helped somewhat and if you have any question's feel free to contact me.

This machine should suit your needs if you are not playing top end games, or trying to edit video, or crunch through a lot of graphics. It's most suited to running office production applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and e-mail. It's suited to most internet capabilities. It may give acceptable performance on a lot of lower end games, too. Don't expect it to be some kind of inexpensive super machine though. It is a solid office machine.

Sorry to hear you had problems with yours. I've had zero problems with mine. Mine is running extremely well, due to the regular maintenance and upkeep I do on it. Like with any computer or device you have to maintain it in order for it to run efficiently. Great machine and still highly recommend.

Yes, though i would highly advise reading reviews about this particular model as it does seem to have some quirks...i would recomend, just beware you may need some upgrades, especially memory, oh, and buy new...my refurbished system has some OS issues

Is the general consensus that this is going to be a good to very good machine? I like most of the specs, but you never know until you have it in your hands...would love to hear thoughts of those considering purchasing this netbook.
