ASUS UX31A-DH51 13.3-Inch Vouchers

Phillip M Enright:
If you 'google' this product, you will find many other purchasers have had massive problems with it. It would seem to have inherent design/manufacture problems to do with its power management system and the motherboard.
What is more concerning is that ASUS does not provide an acceptable level of 'ASUS owned' technical/service backup for their products. In California, the product has to go back to a small independent service company in LA which doesn't seem to get too much support and backing from ASUS. The same is true in Australia - only a handful of small companies providing service for the whole of the country.
I bought mine on Amazon in 2011 for around $1500 (mine is the 256GB SSHD) - it's motherboard died just outside the warranty period. That cost $600 to replace from the LA service agent. Within a few months it developed a fault which causes it to not be able to go into sleep mode and be 're-awakened', without the battery being run down; recharged then re-booted. I've read in forums this is a common problem which ASUS just doesn't want to know about. This product should have a recall it is that deficient.
Consumers should not buy ASUS products until this company fulfils at least the minimum acceptable service support obligation as does DELL, HP, Toshiba and others.

First let me say that I'm giving this laptop 5 starts only because I un-installed Windows 8 and installed dual-boot Windows 7 & Kali Debian linux in it's place. Windows 8 is aweful and I highly recommend people purchase Windows 7 or wait until Windows 9 if at all possible. Putting that aside . . .

I have used this for about 3 weeks now, off and on. The keyboard types quite comfortably, the screen is sharp and clear. The SSD drive and 4GB of memory allow this to run significantly faster than my desktop workstation which uses a SATA disk drive. It's light-weight, sharp looking, and the battery lasts a very long time. I am extremely pleased with the product and would easily replace it with a newer model in the future.

Richard J.:
This laptop is very fast and thin, pretty much what i expected.

One thing to note: You only get about 50-60 GB of ssd storage for your personal use if you are buying the 128 GB model
