I received this laptop a few weeks ago so I now feel like I can give an honest review about it. I found this laptop after searching for a reasonably priced laptop but with decent features and decided to purchase it, and I'm so glad I did.The pro's;
excellent speed - with 8gb of RAM,a decent intel processor and handy features such as pre made battery options makes this laptop lightning fast.
hard drive - it is split into two sections, allowing you to run windows 7 alongside another operating system if you wish. I find this feature very handy as I run ubuntu 12.04 with no problems, but it allows me to have windows 7 for certain programs.
quality screen - The brilliant speed makes watching HD content online a breeze. I frequently watch bbc Iplayer in HD and the screen has a nice brightness and crisp feel to it.
keyboard - Ive owned a wide range of laptops in the past but I find this keyboard one of the most satisfying to use.
cons;
build quality - The whole laptop has a slight plastic feel to it. It doesnt bother me too much, but I am being extra careful with it. The hinges look slightly flimsy to me but I guess I cant comment too much on them and only time will tell.
battery life - seems a little on the low side, however I get around 2 hours of high quality performance and 2 and a half hours on battery saver, so its not too bad, but I would consider it if you were using this laptop whilst travelling as it could be an issue.
overall I'd give it 4 and a half stars as for the price, this is truly an excellent laptop, especially if your on a budget. If you are thinking of buying it feel free to ask me any questions :)

A nice cheap laptop, great keyboard and screen, seems well-made, been using for 3+ weeks now. 8mb memory, so good for running a virtual machine on - and as previous reviewers have commented various Linux distros work well... seems so to me too ( (k)ubuntu 12.04 so far). Supplied Windows 7 works nicely as well. Not yet seen issues re. build quality or performance as per some reviewers, will update if I do. Get one - send it back if no good, in my experience Amazon excellent for returns of no-like / dodgy bits of kit. 31 of 34 people found the following review helpful

There has been some confusion abut this item. It has 2 USB ports, 1 USB3 and 1 USB2.The Hard drive is 500Gigs,however, Asus partition the drive so that the "C" drive, which has the Windows 7 operating system, has 200Gigs allocated and the "D" drive, described as the data drive, has 300Gigs allocated, so the sum total of the 2 partitions is 500 Gigabits.
I dual-booted Linux Ubuntu 12.04 to mine, Asus could not say if this was a good idea as they did not know if Ubuntu 12.04 would be able to find drivers for the motherboard.
Ubuntu 12.04 loaded, the computer placed it on the "D" drive and there are no drivers problems.
One just selects if Ubuntu or Windows 7 is wanted, at start-up.
USB ports, Asus suggested that several cables attached to a notebook computer, needing connectors all around a computer case, is not a good idea, I bought a 10-port USB2 hub from Amazon, which has an international power supply, so now there is 1 USB3 port and 10 USB2 ports available.
VLC is a multi-region DVD player, this Open-Source player will load OK to Windows 7
For home use or student use, the X54C Asus notebook computer is ideal, fast enough for business use as well.
My e-mails to Asus were answered promptly and honestly, overall, definitely a 5-star item.
