Love it so far!
By M. Coughran
I purchased my Asus Afterglow u50f new at BB on clearance for 585.99. I walked into BB with the intentions of buying a Toshiba but happened to see the Afterglow and thought I'd give Asus a try. I have to say that I am truly happy with my purchase. Although it is a larger laptop, it is still lightweight and easy to carry. Of course the outside is a fingerprint magnet but what computer out there today, isn't? It is quite glossy with a black sparkle-like finish. The keys are smooth, quiet and accurate. I love having the 10-key on the side-just in case. The screen is bright and the colors are perfect. I am still getting used to the Windows 7...so far, not too shabby. The bottom of the unit stays cool (the vent is towards the back, left side of the computer) so I can literally hold it in my lap. The touchpad took some getting used to and I wasn't crazy about the push bar-it was REALLY stiff out of the box. After some use, it is now a lot easier to push. The speakers are decent-I wasn't expecting much out of them. I was pleasantly surprised when I started listening to music and they didn't sound like tiny speakers. The optical drive is a bit flimsy but I don't plan on inserting a disc while running around the house so I think I will be alright. I have yet to test the length of battery life. Plently of USB ports, HDMI port, and it is upgradable to 8GB. Inside the unit- i3 processor, 4GB ram and 500GB memory. I can't ask for more-yet ;)

Incompetent Customer Service
By G
This laptop is great. Excellent price (if it worked properly)
Its powerful, fast, clean, and sexy...
But if you don't have quite a bit of knowledge behind how computers work then the uneducated (and outsourced) customer service will leave you frustrated to say the least.
Below are the many issues that this computer has. (I've owned it for 1 month)
Current problems:
1. Audio output does not output anything other then 2-channel, and the quality was horrible.
Customer service (2 separate reps) said any other sound output (5.1 etc) is not supported by this model, and NO software or drivers will fix this. This is untrue... I fixed the issue myself by researching the Internet.
2. AI backup software was non-functional. (along with other ASUS software that I did not care to fix) See #3 for the fix...
3. Backup partition was not installed. Some customer service reps said this is normal, some said it is not. ASUS refused to send me the ASUS recovery CD that would fix this issue unless I paid $30.00-- or sent the computer in to be repaired (16 day wait time)
4. ASUS update utility software is non functional and inaccurate (after I got it to work...without the help of tech support)-- I magically got the software to work... then even when it was functional, it said no updates were necessary, when in reality about 50% of the drivers were out of date.
5. The date and time will change randomly when the computer is restarted. Customer support (4 different service tech support people) had ridiculous in non-logical "fixes"-- none of them worked.
6. The "P" key works about 20% of the time. Customer support said it could be hardware or software. All their recommendations (I tried about 4 different things) to "fix" it failed.
-- so after about a dozen calls to ASUS they finally said that I should do a complete system backup to the ASUS factory settings!!! -- what geniuses!!! I kindly reminded them (while gritting my teeth) that that would be impossible (for me to do) because the backup software and partition was non-existent, and because they refused to send me a recovery disk (unless I wanted to pay $30)..so they said to send the unit back for repairs... they said that it would take 16 business days to fix (plus shipping time)...no offer to upgrade shipping or anything.
FYI: I bought this computer from DIGITAL DISCOUNT... I highly recommend to stay away from them because their REFURBISHED models are obviously not refurbished to manufacturer specs... especially if they can not eve install the proprietary ASUS software correctly.

not ultraportable but good for me
By Stephen
This is a powerful but not light-wieght laptop, however, I should say this laptop is one the best i3 laptop in such a reasonable price. If it's default OS can be Win7 Pro or Ult, I will rank it as 5 stars.o
