I've had the ASUS Vidbook with Intel core i3 (many of these reviews seem to have AMD chips as well) for only a week now but I'm very impressed. What I like first.
Pro's:
1. I like the screen. I've seen reviews that say the screen is basically trash. Well the model I have it's great for what I want. I've owned anywhere from 8 to 10 laptops in my life from Dell to Sony and I like the screen on the ASUS. Mainly due to the fact it's not overly saturated bright. Its more of a soft natural light almost like reading a piece of paper vs bright blues that give headaches and eyestrain.
2. I really like the keyboard so far (not sure how it will hold up with time) Key strokes are easy and the back lighting is just right.
3. It's fast for what I'm doing. Load up speed is great, there isn't much if any bloat ware to deal with which i've found on Dell and other computers. I'm mainly surfing the net, streaming videos, creating power point presentations etc...
4. One of the main things I like about this computer is that it is light weight especially at the price, your getting a relatively light weight computer with a fairly standard size keyboard and screen without paying Apple prices.
Cons:
1. It's hard to think of some con's but one is that the computer comes with Microsoft 10S, which is easy to turn off to 10 Home, using instructions to do so.
2. The battery life isn't the greatest considering I'm not gaming. I would say your getting about 6 to 7 hours for simple computing. I'm sure is fine but I figure be nice if it was 8 to 10 hours, but at this price can't have it all.
Overall I would highly recommend this computer for the price, look, and feel. It has everything you would need for school, most business travel and everyday home at a good price.
