1. Are you pleased overall with this laptop? 2. Would you recommend this laptop to your parents?

I love this laptop. The large HD screen is great, but what I love the most is the login with your fingerprint feature which you can use for logging in to all your sites without having to type in user names and passwords. I'm 58 and I would recommend this laptop to parents and anyone else. The Windows 8 took some getting use to at first but I like it now.

Overall, I am pleased with the laptop. It works great. However, you should know that if your parents do not have experience with Windows 8 then you might be spending some time teaching them how to use it.

I am very pleased with this laptop.Due to the fact that my one living parent is elderly, I would not recommend this laptop for him. He does well on his computer, but I might show him this fascinating one and what all it can do. He might request one!

Sir, We purchased this about 6 months ago, and I would say this is one of the smoothest laptops, we have ever purchased. May be the Lenovo T400 is better. A good buy any day

It is a good laptop, beautiful, good performing. But it has gone on the market for a while, now there are many other choices. I think the new razer blade with touchscreen and GTX 870M, or MSI gs60 is also a good choice.

This helps a lot. However, there is still the question about the functionality. Is it worth the price to surf and play games versus a few more dollars and getting an inexpensive laptop. Maybe by the time software comes out to support this device it will be worth it.

I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

Rich, Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you see popping onto the market. Only 3 cells on this one, I wonder why. Good enough for me tho. This one is more full featured than those other little ones. They are too limited and small. This one has a good price. I know, for a little more I could get a regular laptop. I just like the toy feeling of it. And it doesn't take a lot of power to stay on for hours. Shipping is 3 to 5 weeks! So there's time to cancel if another one looks good. Nice to have a little thread here to check while I wait. Thanks.

Personally I think it's great, the screen is very large, excellent resolution, plus I have a fast internet connection, I'm very satisfied with it. Hopes this helps you.

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

Hi,This is a pretty good machine with no obvious shortcoming that I could find (I have this one for a few weeks). The best thing is this is one of the best buy for this price range. I will be cautious about the DVD drive thought - it seems somwhat flimsy./Abhijit

I am not happy with it. My thoughts about this WolVol has changed. You are better off spending a few more dollars on a laptop. I end-up giving mine away (it's a peice of work).

I think that the cooling system is pretty efficient, a little noisy, but makes the work. I work with virtual machines, that demand performance without problem. The battery life is acceptable in this conditions too (2.30 hr using the processor and disk continuosly)

Is a pretty good computer. As long as you are not having to do any video editing or gaming it is a good model.

If you wouldn't Mind Greg, I would definitely like to see a review of your impressions of this laptop when it arrives on your doorstep. Since this HP model only came out less than two weeks ago, there isn't too much in the way of hands on review outside of product descriptions and YouTube videos giving teasers before the release. I am hoping this will be the desktop replacement I have been looking for.

I can only speak for the AMD Graphics Card version of this laptop. This laptop exceeds my expectation when it comes to games. With some graphics options twist you can get a really good experience and fps with your games. You won't be getting 60fps but a stable 30fps in a lot of games. You will see some lag if there is more going on but that quickly goes away. In regards to multimedia use this machine is a beast. You can do everything from gaming, movies, word-processing, and online use all at once, seriously. I do not know how the NVIDIA performs but I can say I am more than satisfied with how AMD's switchable graphics performs. I would recommend, if possible, to upgrade to a faster hard drive. I found that load times can take a little longer than you want them to but you will get used it. I would recommend looking at this version of the laptop which has a dedicated graphics card and may improve your gaming experience. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V5-552G-X414-15-6-inch-Laptop/dp/B00DKFFLMY/ref=pd_sim_pc_5
