Bought this and had issues from the start. Included software didnt run well on a vista pc, would recognize internet connection, then not a pc, then intermitantly both. Then try to add second pc and would disconnect both pcs, then both would connect and no internet. Was frustrating after an hour of trying to set up multiple connections. Works great with one connection, with any additional hardwired.

i bought this router the other day to upgrade from a 4 or 5 year old linksys wireless g that i was really happy with. i thought that by sticking with linksys and upgrading to wireless n would have been a great choice on my part. not so fast my friend! i run a desktop through ethernet, my ps3 through either wireless or ethernet, 2 wireless laptops and a printer hooked up through ethernet. the laptops are rarely on, and same with my printer. i only use my ps3 at night time when im not busy and no one else is on the internet. i cant even play a descent game of modern warfare 2 anymore cuz the signal is so inconsistant through both wireless and ethernet! ive had it for approx. 2 days now and i hate this thing. so whatever you do, do not get it. such inconsistant signal.... im very disapointed :|

Really a wonderful PC...especially for the price. I primarily write and research with mine...use image editing and content management apps as well...lots and lots of programs and extras (many browser tabs within multiple browsers)...running at once. All of that quickly choked my dual-core HP with 4 gigs of memory...this new quad-core Gateway with 8 gigs doesn't break a sweat with that and more. Very good ATI graphics card (with HDMI) included--and it's NOT on the motherboard...it's the real deal. The sound components suck (speakers are predictably tiny and horrible, with no sub)...but you get what you pay for. I wanted to replace a box...and use my old peripherals including sound, Apple keyboard, wireless mouse, etc., so all that's not a problem for me. this Gateway is NOT a good choice if you're looking for a SYSTEM...but if you're just replacing the box as I did, it's almost perfect...you can't even build it yourself for this price. Even looks good and the top-case tray with USB ports

I bought this laptop to replace my 4 year old Compaq.I bought this on sale for $429, but now it looks like that is the permanent price. Overall, I am happy with the purchase, so far everything has worked well. But I thought I'd just list a few issues for potential owners:
I do a lot of traveling and one of the main selling points for me was the built in microphone and web cam. BEWARE: The microphone and sound quality is HORRIBLE. I've barely been able to complete a phone or video call, because of the frustration from both myself and whoever I've tried to talk to. I've seen the suggestion about changing the settings in some of these reviews, and also by just doing a Google search, and while that improved the quality a little bit, it remains BAD. I'm very disappointed with this. Now, I have to invest more money in a microphone, when I shouldn't have to.
This is another small complaint,and I don't know if anyone else has had an issue with it, but when I tried to change the

I am very, very pleased with my ASUS computer. It has tons of memory, Windows 7 is good, love the larger monitor but the internal speakers are very tinny, so don't expect to use them much, Plus the price was fantastic.

I thought that i had done my homework and decided to purchase this computer. On the surface it really looked like a good computer however, within the 5 hours of using this computer it froze several times, lagged and had 3 dreaded blue screen messages and shutdowns! Not cool. I also had problems with the sound and video camera.
I will say that I didn't get the geek squad upgrades and I think this was the problem. However, i don't think you should have to buy upgrades from the store you purchased it from in order for the computer to run smoothly. In the end I returned this computer in less than 24 hours for a mac and IM VERY VERY HAPPY!
I gave mircosoft a change and they blew it, lol.

I bought this drive to separate my data from my bootable O/S drive, so I could use Windows 7 to create an image of my O/S. The install took all of 5 minutes. I did have to purchase the data cable separately, and a conversion power cable as my machine was out of the SATA power cables.
This drive is really, really fast. Moving my data files over (about 30GB) took minutes, compared to copying them to a USB drive or DVD which was a pain.
My machine performance and boot up seems faster now too. I did move my paging file to this second drive, and I think having the data on a different drive helps with the O/S performance too.

Greatest laptop mouse ever!
I gifted this to my boyfriend and then took over it!
It really works everywhere and the range is great.
This works on my dining table, sofa cushions, bed sheets, carpet etc. all sorts of rough terrain and without mouse a pad!
Batteries lasted me like two months; not bad!
I'm seriously considering buying myself one in "scarlet red" so i can return this blue one to the rightful owner!

This drive worked as a great replacement drive in a Dell laptop. Swapped them out and had no problems. This drive is a rocket compared to the original drive and is very fast compared to the equivalent Western Digital that Best Buy sells. Insist on this drive, even if it costs a few bucks more. You won't regret it.

Just bought a HP desktop system last night which included the 20" monitor. I was amazed at the quality of the picture, but dissatisfied with the volume level of the internal speakers. Not bad if you are sitting real close and there is complete silence around you. Good thing I didn't throw my external speakers away!

I love how light and portable it is. The quality of the laptop for the price is awesome, 4 GB of RAM with 500 GB Harddrive. I wish it didn't come with a Blueray player and lower the price by like $50, but overall I love the computer. It doesn't come without a lot of the unnecessary programs like most laptops which was nice.

My daughter who is a senior in college picked it out mostly on COLOR and because it was a Dell. It was way faster than her old computer. Loves look, feel of the computer and size of keyboard. I would recommend to anyone!

Great battery life, quickly picks up wi-fi signal. I can take it anywhere and I don' t have to carry the AC adapter.
What's not so great is that you can't know exactly until you type something and realize if the Num and Scr LK are on.
The Ac Adapter Cable sometimes blocks the air vent because the POwer Input is at the same side of the air vents, and the cylindric part of that cable is the one that may cover the air vent.
In an overall experience, it's a great laptop!!!

please read all the review before buy the HP Envy series. My opinion is this laptop is not worth as the price. Hopefully that the manufacture will have some upgrade for user and who bought the HP Envy series. tks a lot.

I owned this monitor for about a week now and I hate it. The picture quality is poor, this monitor is not worth the money... keep looking for something better. I have a very high end computer with the biggest video card I can have, quad core processor, and 16 gig ram. Its a gaming rig and this montior should have emachines on it and not apple. I am (or was) a huge apple fan, and thats prolly why I bought it, however tomorrow when bestbuy opens, I will be returning it and just getting a 32 inch hd tv to use as my monitor. I can get a samsung 32 inch 1080p 120Hz tv that I am sure will beat this out of the water, I will get a remote to use for volume, I will put about $1000 back into my pocket and I think with my savings ill buy something else.

These are some great sounding speakers. The subwoofer gives it a rich, full sound. I don't much care for the controller. I would have preferred the same speakers in a sound bar, but I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I'm not going to take the overall rating down for that.

Bought it to use with my WD TV HD Media Player, so the main reason I went with this and not WD My Book, is because this one fits into the shelves. No problems so far, been using it for 4-5 months, just dreaded clicking noise, which drives me nuts - i'm afraid it will give up one day.

I was very upset to find the new laptop which I just purchased required an Intel VT or AMD-V CPU to properly install the XP mode with this program. I already own MS Office XP Professional and did not want to purchase the Windows 7 Version of Office Professional for our business. MS has a tool on line to download to your computer to see if the software is compatible with CPU.
Go on line first to see if your computer has a compatible processor with Virtual Technology or you will be wasting your money if you think you can load your XP Office to your new computer.
Love my computer but will probably return it and buy an Apple!
