Is it a reliable, processor stable, good enough household laptop for the money. One could pay much more but I like an optical drive.

I have not had an issue with this lap top, running light room on it and if it can handle that it will handle just about anything. just a great unit, very happy with it so far

I've had zero problems with the E545. Having had laptops with AMD processors prior to this one, I've never had a problem with one of them. The Lenova has an excellent keyboard - excellent feel and size. The laptop feels lighter than it is. Overall, I like it far better than the Intel Core i5 Dell Latitude that my employer provides me for work. I did add 4GB of RAM - cost is low and extra memory is good thing when video memory is shared.

Very stable and good for the money. I play games through steam. I do my school work through oracle. Does regular Microsoft office fine. It's a little heavy and big. The screen isn't high resolution. And it's not fast fast but gets the job done.400 bucks or just get a desktop for like 900 with dual monitors and be fully satisfied.

This was a gift for my son who is a musician and puts lots of data on it. It has been reliable. He loves it.

I have had mine for several months and I believe it is a fine laptop. No complaints so far.

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

It is plenty fast enough for me. I have over clocked this chip to 4.8 with the occasional hiccup, so I use it as my daily PC at a stable 3.9. With a Crucial SSD for my OS and a Raptor for downloads, this rig has done everything I have asked it to without hesitation...games, Blu Rays, whatever.I have gotten the itch to build a new setup, but only for newer technologies my motherboard does not provide.I do agree there are cheaper options available to you now. 3 years ago this was the most bang for MY buck:-)

Yeah, for sure, this will suit perfectly your needs. I've been using mine for 4 months now, and it's really afordable and does everthing one needs daily, you may also wanna look for the toshiba one, Solid product as well

So far it has been a great laptop, I preferred Windows 7 and it was configured with this version. I had a HP laptop and this one seems solid, besides the HP motherboard died after about a year and a key broke. It's fast, I'm not a gamer so if this is your main hobby I have no idea what it will do.

I installed one in my laptop over the summer. So far, I've read and written both DVDs and BDs without a single problem. This drives seems reliable so far and does a good job. It can be a bit noisy when locating data on a disk, but not so much that it's an issue for me.

I've had this laptop for 6 months and haven't had a single problem. However, anecdotal evidence is hardly what you need. If people are alleging component failures, it's probably true. Then again, that's what a warranty is for.Unrelated: Cross your fingers that you don't get the Sanforce SSD. I was lucky and got the faster SSD. According to the reviews it makes a huge difference in performance. You won't know which drive you get until you open the box.

For the price you will get solid performance. All the specs are listed on the amazon page. The only problem I ran is with 64bit operating systems

It is a very good laptop, price notwithstanding. I can't imagine it working any better just because of a higher price tag.

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

The computer is small, quiet and fast. It appears to be very stable running Microsoft Windows 7 Pro. I bought one on impulse and liked it so much that I bought 4 more.Yes I would recommend it. If you have further questions, please ask.

This is good computer for light computing. Facebook games will probably be fine. I have found this is the best value for a good computer.

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

I've purchased two of these machines they are pretty fast and very reliable, this laptop is wifi and lan ready. also bluetooth capable. have a multi-media card reader in the front, my first one had windows vista the second xp. The only down fall is you will need to purchase a cooling fan pad (the kind you put the latop on and plug into the laptop) as my first one over-heated on my "lap"

I personally bought the eMachines eM250 (the exact equivalent of the Acer Aspire One D250, just rebranded) from Walmart for $228 by seeing it in the computer cage up in Maine. The EXACT same thing except WITH a bigger harddrive (250gig). Personally I love it, and even though the keys are slightly cramped (89%), I didn't want to deal with the Dell touchpad which is a pain in the butt. I'm a computer guy, and I played with it in a Staples to see if I liked it, but no thanks. Also the Acer/eMachines is a breeze to upgrade the RAM. Just remove a screw, pop out the 1 gig, and put in a 2 gig. So if I may, I would suggest stopping by Walmart to see if you can get lucky like me. Has a cool brushed nickel look to it too (but its plastic). I've put it through the ringer, and it is surpisingly pretty powerful! Here is the Amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00323G71S/ref=s9_simi_gw_s6_p147_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0TVG5SXWRB9HWKSRM88K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

I bought it about 3 yrs ago and still use it. What you can't expect it to do is run anything that needs os10.6 or above. I use it basically as an internet machine although I still record music with garageband which is the main reason I bought it in the first place. If I were looking for an inexpensive mac right now I would get a later model macbook pro, like my wife has. I've seen them on Amazon used for.about 700 bucks and that is a lot of computer for that money She bought hers new from Amazon about 2 years ago for about 2300. If you could find one for 7 or 8 hundred bucks, that would be a good deal. It is, in fact, what I going to do in a couple of months.

It has run flawlessly for the past year. I run Linux on a Raid 0 array. I have 2 gig of ram. Netflix, and videos are great even with standard video. Four gig, and a souped up video card would be marvelous. Master Rod
