Asus X58L 15.6 inch Laptop (Intel Celeron 575, 1 Gb, 120 Gb DVDSMDL, HD 1366 x 768, Vista Home Basic) On Sale
Product Description
Great Laptop (once Vista's been removed).
I've had this model for three years now, and it's very impressive piece of kit IMO. Replace Vista with Linux or Win XP or something and you've got a powerful-enough, quiet, low power-using, nice screen'd, hard-wearing little machine. Mine is in it's second career now, running VMware server for my home network. Best laptop I've ever owned (for the money).

Review 1 : Top Dealer good value product
I already had one of these, so I knew what I was looking for I needed one for my wife at the right price, it is a basic budget computer that will do most general tasks, browsing and home office needs,I ordered it a couple of days b4 Christmas and the page warned that delivery was unlikely to be until after the holidays, what a surprise less than 24 hours later a UPS driver had waded 100yds from the main road in knee deep snow to my house.
Although this comes with windows vista home I do not use this system much, I run Linux Mint and toy with other systems all from USB drives, this machine works well with a lot of these
I did have one question for the dealer who responded quickly
I got to a stage where I needed to do some stuff in windows, It came with vista home basic which I found sluggish in fact so slow it gave the impression the computer was faulty, I changed this for XP and the machine really benefited,
A year down the line it now is running...
Review 2 : Good computer, shame about Windows
The is the best quality of 3 laptops i've owned (...Toshiba and Sony). The ASUS is much more solid, much better made and doesn't feel like it's going to snap when I pick it up.
The downside is that the celeron processor isn't really powerful enough for the truly awful Windows Vista. I upgraded mine to Windows 7 without trouble and it's a bit better but really all computers now need a dual-core processor. Wish I knew that before I bought it. It's not a problem with the computer as such, any celeron laptop will be the same.
Still, It works fine with W7 and Office and cost me 270 quid! Beat that!
