Review: Fantastic, powerful laptop, 5-star warranty support. - I bought this computer last July, so it's been almost a year. It's a wonderful laptop! It continuously works lightning fast, and I've had no issues with how it runs at all. I multi-task on a rather extreme basis, and this thing still keeps up with me. The touchscreen works very well... better than the Acer touchscreen laptop that my husband has. On his, we sometimes have to touch it 2 or 3 times for the computer to figure out what we're trying to click, but this one always seems to know. (It appears to be a software difference, not a hardware difference because his laptop does register the touch with the little circle thing it does, it just doesn't seem to realize that we're trying to click the box 1mm away.) The screen brightness does not work well in sunlight, but I knew that buying it. I also knew the speakers weren't that good, which isn't an issue for me... I usually have headphones and it's great through those. It's also heavy, but that's what you get when you want a 15.6" laptop. It's still lighter than my old HP of the same size. It functions great and is fast, which is what I care about. The only thing that was less than perfect was that the letters wore off some of the keys only 4 months into owning it. My kids say it's my fault... most laptops don't have to withstand someone who types 100wpm and works on it for 15 hours/day... but my old HP laptop's keys usually lasted about 1 1/2 years before they were wearing off. I'd let it go for another 6 months or so until people wanting to borrow the laptop complained that they couldn't find the letters, and then I'd buy a $30 keyboard off eBay, open up the thing, replace the keyboard, and keep on going. I did that 3 times for that laptop. So I consider the letters and coating on these Asus keys to be lower quality. Unfortunately, as of right now, you cannot buy replacement keys or keyboards for this laptop... so I contacted Asus about the warranty. This is why I'm still giving 5-stars despite the keyboard issue... I contacted Asus about it, and they gave me an RMA with a postage-paid FedEx ground label with no problems. I sent it back (which took 5 days from OH to CA), and they signed for the laptop at 7:30am last Thursday. They sent it back to FedEx at 11:30pm the next day... and paid for expedited shipping back to me. And yes, it is my actual laptop. When they shipped it back so fast, I was slightly concerned that they'd swapped it out for another unit, but nope. It's mine with a new keyboard. I was not expecting 30-hour turnaround, nor was I expecting expedited shipping back to me, but I'm sure happy about it!
Review: Wow, no regrets -- everything I thought it would be and then some! - I was looking for either a new laptop, 2-in-1, or MacBook to do things that just aren't possible on my iPad. After weeks of searching, I took the plunge with the ASUS TP500LA, which was half the price of the MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display I had downselected as the other finalist. I am very happy with the ASUS - very nice looking, excellent build quality, great keyboard layout, and setup at home was the easiest I have ever experienced with any computer . Despite reviews of ASUS sister products claiming the Wi-Fi is slow, the Wi-Fi on my unit is crazy fast, display is outstanding, boot up is about 15 seconds, power down is about 5 seconds. I'm not a huge fan of Windows 8.1, but I got around that by installing Stardock Start8, a $5 program with a 30 day free trial that emulates Windows 7 but give you the flexibility to access the Win 8.1 interface if you want. Only cons: No backlit keyboard, battery life is 5-6 hours (9 for the MacBook Pro), a tad heavy at 5 lbs (3.5 for the MacBook Pro), but you know all of this going into the purchase, which for me, was worth saving $800. desertcart shipping was amazing - I chose the 1 day option ($7 for Prime members), which shipped from CA at 8 pm the night before and arrived at my doorstep in CT at 2 pm the next day (how the heck do they do that for $7?). Anyway, no regrets at all for this purchase - would do it again in a heartbeat!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device. Works well, but has a few minor flaws.
*by A***W on August 5, 2015*

I made sure to test everything on this device for the sake of this review. All of the USB ports, bluetooth, HDMI, webcam, built in mic, SD card reader, headphone/microphone jack, touchpad, and touchscreen work as intended. This device does everything that I wanted and even a bit more. It's great for multitasking; however, if you're downloading or transferring anything onto the hard drive, expect it to slow down the laptop a bit. After all, it is a HDD. While it is nice how it also functions as a tablet, it isn't as lightweight as one, so you'll probably end up resting it on your lap, table, or desk. The monitor on the device only supports 1366x768 for its max resolution, but it could still provide a 1920x1080 resolution on a secondary monitor, as I tested when connecting the device to my TV. If you have any interest in Windows 10, you'll be happy to know that mine did come with a free upgrade to Windows 10. It is probably worth noting that when I started my laptop up the first time, it was not working as I had hoped. It was slow and some of the software support was either absent or not functioning properly. As a result, I ended up resetting the computer to its factory default. Fortunately, that appeared to fix the problem, as the computer was much faster, and the touchpad settings that was absent previously was in my system tray. While you could technically play some games on the device, keep in mind that it uses an integrated graphics card; therefore, while it may run some games, you'll probably have to play with lower quality graphic settings. It definitely wasn't made for more demanding and higher quality games. In fact, it isn't really intended to be used as a gaming laptop, as such laptops generally have their own dedicated video cards. One of the problems I noticed from other reviews was with the device's built-in wireless adapter. While it does connect to the wireless network at my home, the range is somewhat lacking. The connection seems to cut off occasionally when I'm at the farthest point in my home from the router (I want to say it's about 35 ft). I'm certain it's the laptop, and not my router, because I've connected other devices from the same range with no problem, including my Kindle Fire HDX and even my 9 year old laptop (so severely outdated, the OS couldn't be updated to anything beyond Windows XP, which led to the purchase of this device). If this can be seen as a potential problem for you, you may wish to consider buying a USB wireless adapter to extend its range. On a minor side note, it kind of bothers me that the SD card sticks out of the reader. I was hoping it went into the device completely with like a push and click lock, but half of the card sticks out of the device. This concerns me only because I worry something or someone could come along and bump the card in a way that could potentially damage the card and/or the card reader. Still, I only plan to really use this when I'm uploading pictures from my camera, so it's not really a deal breaker. Overall, I'm fairly happy with this laptop. It's well suited for the things I use it for (watching movies/videos, listening to music, streaming, web surfing, apps, and general document/spreadsheet work). While there is a minor problem with the wireless adapter and the software, I didn't really consider it too problematic. Still, there is definitely room for improvement. Again, gaming is possible on the device, but it definitely won't play as good as a device with a dedicated graphics card, so expect performance drawbacks for the more demanding games. That aside, it was worth the price I paid for it (which is roughly $550), but I honestly wouldn't justify purchasing this device at its current $800 price. Granted, since 2-in-1's are a new breed of laptop, it might justify its $800 price tag for anyone else. My personal preference for a laptop with a lower end i7 processor such as this one is to spend around $700 at most. Anything lower is definitely a steal. - 2025 Update So... when I wrote this review, it was originally like 10 years ago... Surprisingly, while my laptop is still running, I can't really recommend it currently, simply because there's a lot of better alternatives for a similar price. Naturally, this laptop won't be able to support Windows 11, which means it's pretty much obsolete, unless you intend to use a different operating system aside from Windows 10. Also, it uses a wireless g adapter for internet, which was before dual band, wifi 6, 6e, and the current standard: wifi 7 (which is normally supported by Windows 11 anyway). Ideally, you're going to need something like a usb wifi adapter, or a hard ethernet cable connection (which can still support up to an impressive 1gbps). Still, because of the CPU's age, you're likely to experience system lag to a point where it might not even keep up with your internet. For its time, this was a great laptop, but currently, I'd definitely look for something with more modern hardware. This CPU has only 2 cores, and it's a 5th generation i7 processor. We're currently in the 14th generation of i7s, which normally can have up to 20 cores (10x's the speed of this CPU). As of this update to my review, 15th gen i7s are just around the corner. So why come back to this product page or even this review? I was curious about the ethernet support, because I'm not getting the full speeds my internet provides when this is connected to my modem. I've pretty much converted this device into a media player for my TV, but it's definitely starting to feel more like a modern chromebook worth less than $200. Otherwise, it's about as reliable as any other laptop. Through my ownership, I've had to replace the battery twice, change the hard drive twice (which was ultimately swapped to a SSD), swap out the built-in speakers, and accept the ceasing function of some of the keyboard keys (which is definitely not worth repairing now). It's impressive to see it operating after 10 years of ownership, considering that's about how long CPUs normally last. Once Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10, I'll probably consider a new operating system (assuming this device is still working). For now, I'll continue using it watch movies and other videos online until it finally hits the grave.
