As a basic specification, i am probing for a laptop with a minimum of 4GB of RAM. That additionally means that i would like Win seven 64bit edition. I heard that this ver of Windows is quicker than Vista thus i would like to present it a strive. (I don't {need|don't desire} Mac) I additionally need a minimum of 15" show as a result of I even have poor eyesight. i do not care regarding how significant or bulky it's. i do not care regarding how giant the onerous drive as a result of I even have one TB in my desktop and do not extremely use most of it. the foremost vital on behalf of me is that the warranty. Most provide US solely warranty. however i am about to travel to Phil (my original country) throughout Spring '11. Since i am apparently clumpsy, i am willing to shell out for additional warranty.
Alas, I found this ASUS fifteen.6" notebook with already inbuilt International Warranty and Spill Warranty. Jackpot! I checked the opposite specs and appears fine with me. thus I ordered it immediately, not probing for the opposite specials going around owing to Black Friday or Cyber Monday events. but $600 in addition. adequate on behalf of me. WOOT!! additionally, registering the merchandise with ASUS and they will offer you additional warranty. I even have to envision on this though and anticipate their response. Sounds too smart...
I got this on Dec one and did the created and everything. Perfect. It's quick enough on behalf of me. once the created, i attempted to time the boot time. i could not see the Bios stuff since it masses to Win seven immediately. I do need to select my profile and password (my idiosyncracy). Overall, complete loading of all stock programs at initiate is spectacular. i have never timed it perfectly however i am pretty positive it's beneath one min... presumably around forty sec. I did the back- up recovery issue to load the factory settings. That took a pair of hours and four blank DVD +R. you will use DVD -R too however I solely have the +R. that has many minutes of inactivity as a result of I forgot that the disc is full and wish to insert new disc. ASUS does not offer a recovery disc thus you've got to try and do this 1st. particularly if you are a user like me that deletes programs that i do not use. i'd delete one thing that would crash the system.
