This is a great fast laptop. I bought it at $398 and it is worth every cent. The only issue I have is that the speaker volume is too low. Even while on 100%. Asus will respond and tell everyone who reports this issue (There are many) to uninstall and reinstall the driver. Or to send the laptop in for repair. But this low sound is a design defect. Reinstalling drivers won't do anything. And unless Asus redesigns the speaker system sending the laptop in for repairs won't fix anything because it's not broken. It's a design defect. Asus used cheap speakers and placed them on the bottom of the laptop. Sound is always muffled and low. Other than the sound I really love this laptop.
