ASUS K55VD-DB51 15.6 HD Notebook Intel Core i5-3210M 2.5GHz 8GB DDR3 750GB HDD DVD-Writer Nvidia GT 610M Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit MochaI was really hoping for a great computer. The Asus Notebook K55VD-DB51 15.6-Inch Laptop seemed to have everything I would want for a few years. I am Still, months later, still trying to keep from throwing this piece of junk across the room or across the street. Where to begin... 1. After hours and hours of adjusting basic "default" problems and installing my basic Email and social media pages I found that the 64 bit Windows has a problem with the RAM. I like to use RealPlayer to download a movie on one tab while watching another movie on another tab or window. Well, that's not happening. There is so much ASUS crap and other Pre-installed Stuff that the C drive was showing FULL even though it wasn't. Yet it reacted as if it were full. So the RAM wouldn't handle two movies at once. That was expected in a $150 computer but not an $800 computer with 8 Gigs sitting there. So after another few hours (now into days) of twisting the computer into a capable machine it STILL will not handle more than 2 tabs at one time unless I split between Windows and Firefox.

And on and on. This Windows 7, 64 bit is about as sound of a computer as the Yugo was a car. 2. Even the card reader requires twizzers to pull the card out after downloading. 3. The keyboard is completely Open allowing the slightest dust under the keys. I haven't seen such Crappy construction since I had Windows ME. 4. The keyboard is flimsy needing a solid punch to make the key actually strike/count. 5. The plug for the Internet connection is weak and often Disconnects if the computer is moved. This is a problem I now find was a problem Asus has had for quite a while. 6. There is WAY too advertising about their Extra Features that, once you turn the damn thing on COSTS Extra after their 2 or 3 weeks of Trial. And if you Keep all those Special Extra Features figure spending another $175 Plus.

I don't mind having to Uninstall their pre-programmed Extras. It's having to search for all the loops all of those Extras have intertwined with other software that takes hours and hours to search for, and Re-Install drivers, update all the new downloads, etc., etc.

This computer was the worst purchase I have ever had from Amazon. And I know it had nothing whatsoever to do with Amazon and would never hold them responsible for this. "Buyer Beware" is the name of This Computer.
