This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Awesome!
I fell in love with the S550CA-DS1T model because of the specs for a reasonable price. However, when I saw this laptop and found myself with a bigger budget than I had planned originally, I jumped on it. Intel Core i7 is an amazing CPU and I am so happy that this laptop is equipped with such a big memory and RAM. It is entirely necessary for my photography hobby. Creative Cloud works wonderfully on this laptop. I am a college student and needed to find a laptop that would be from a reliable brand and included the very specs offered by this laptop. I feel that I sacrificed the SSD that was found in the S550CA-DS1T, but in turn received an extra 2 GB of RAM and a newer processor. I had my doubts, but even without the SSD, the boot time is speedy and there is no lag between functions and transitions to other programs using the Windows 8 shortcuts.
It is very fast and extremely fun to use. Windows 8 is exasperating at times because I am still used to Windows 7 and XP, but I am happy...

2. Not computer savy, but I know enough
I read some poor responses about this computer and some great ones before I made my purchase. I wish people would not be so quick to write a crappy review and at least give the product some time and familiarize yourself with it.

Like anything, once you open the thing up you want to just turn it on and go, well the battery does come with some juice but it does take some time to get use to Windows 8. I heard a lot of bad things about windows 8 and that it's not worth having unless you get a touch screen computer and to be honest that is a load of crap. I still use the mouse because it is just much easier to navigate around the computer.

The touch screen is responsive and I have had no issues with it and I don't believe I see any issues arising since I am familiar already with Tablets..

The biggest complaint I have about this product is it's advertised that battery life with last around 5 to 5 1/2 hours and that is not true at all... I barley get 3 1/2...

Need more appointment... ?
Great laptop, much searching.
I had wanted an Asus since my last purchase of a Sony 4 years ago. I just couldn't make the jump, mostly because I didn't know much about them. I do have a Google Nexus 7 that is made by Asus, and looking at many machines side by side I was sold. The build is rock solid, as with most of their products. It had just the right specs, and the one thing that sold me was the color and clarity of the touch screen. HP is just too dim and lifeless. I've heard way too many Dell and Toshiba nightmare stories, so I took the plunge. I didn't get it here as I found it online for a little cheaper at another place. So far the wireless is great and it runs all of the software I need for my DJ business and my podcast. iTunes loaded fine and I am transferring all of my music and podcasts to the giant hard drive. I even like Windows 8 (Gasp!!!). It's actually very cool and intuitive. Took a minute to find the Control Panel but I found it. I love the touch screen aspect, yet a familiar windows screen is...
