Great lower to mid end computer!,
April 24, 2015 This review is from: ASUS K751MA-DS21TQ 17.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (Personal Computers)
Bought this for my Daughter. She wanted a 17"+ screen and preferred a touch screen. She even preferred a large HD to store pictures and music.
Pro's: This fits very well in how she uses a computer. She basically watches Hulu/Netflix/YouTube etc. Web browsing, music, simple (computer resource wise) games. Word processing, task lists, calendar. and grew up with a IPhone and apps so even the Win8 was not a problem for her. 8GB memory, fast (if slightly older) processor.
Cons: Win8, even she is surprised how it has to switch between desktop to tiled side of Windows. But not a big issue for her and it's a WINDOWS failure. Touchpad seems awkward at times.
Other thoughts: Would definably buy again for how she uses a computer and would recommend this computer.
1st one came in with busted screen and the 2nd day guarantee took 4 business days! But that was FedEx who also PLOPPED it on porch with my door open without even knocking and box slightly crushed. I...

Great Powerhouse, with small drawbacks,

There are a lot of things I love about this laptop. It's very fast (8GB of RAM with a 2.16GHz processor) and sturdy, has a large hi-res screen, and can comfortably run Steam games such as Team Fortress 2 and Batman: Arkham City without too much of a problem. It doesn't come with too much bloatware (these days, what laptop doesn't?), and has AMAZING speakers. The touchscreen is also great, although I don't use it very much. On the times that I did, it seemed pretty accurate and responsive.
Some drawbacks are the mouse touchpad; it's very slow and not the best out there. I often have to use a USB mouse to work effectively. All of the USB ports are located on one side of the computer, which I'm not the hugest fan of. The provided charger is also very short; I've yet to find a longer replacement charger.
I will say that this laptop was worth it, in general. The minor cons are outweighed by more pros if you're looking to upgrade from an older laptop.
