I had previously ordered 2 other laptops and hated them, returning them both until I found this one. It was on super sale for pre-Black Friday and although it did not have a detailed description like most laptops on Amazon, I decided to take a chance and order it because of the nice price. I am pleasantly surprised. Firstly, let me give you the specs since Amazon doesn't tell you much...

5.0 out of 5 stars cheap and reliable, fast enough for everyday usage, December 15, 2010

This review is from: ASUS A52F-XA1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
After a few charge/discharge cycles to get things started, the battery lasts about 3-4 hours under normal circumstances with normal settings (e.g., LED screen is on medium brightness). It will last fewer hours if you play movies or something because it takes more power to spin the DVD disc. It's annoying how Amazon listed everything EXCEPT that vital stat, huh? I hope they fix that soon.

This is a good laptop for normal usage like websurfing, MS Word, Excel, light gaming (Plants v Zombies, etc.), and playing movies/watching Youtube/etc.. The P6100 is basically a 2-GHz Core i3 without hyperthreading (but hyperthreading is only useful when you are doing very heavy multitasking or using a highly threaded program). It's even made on the same process/fabs as the Core i3. Thanks to the P6100's integrated memory controller and other efficiencies inherent in the Core i3-style design, it's about as fast as a 2.5-GHz Core 2 Duo. Thus it's well-balanced with a reasonably fast... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Luck of the draw..., November 25, 2010

This review is from: ASUS A52F-XA1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
Seems like these laptops are hit or miss in terms of reliability. Previously, there was a one-star post that got deleted. The reviewer said that he got the blue screen of death the first time he booted up the laptop. One other person on slickdeals also reported a blue screen the first time the laptop was booted up. Also, many have reported an intermittent clicking noise coming from the hard drive. I can confirm that this is true. Another issue reported is that when creating recovery discs, it keeps on failing when it tries to verify the discs. There are 5 recovery discs in all. I had disc #2 fail, but it was ok on my second try.

I also have an issue with the battery not charging correctly. I cannot power on the laptop from the battery. I must use the AC adapter. If I disconnect the AC adapter, the laptop will shut off. The battery indicator icon says that the battery is charging, but it has been stuck at 46% for the past couple of hours. Researching this issue... Read more
