@Ibby114: My son has a ASUS laptop (not this model) and it has worked well. Also the IT guys at work recommended this brand to me as well. I won't lie to you, it stings a little. We gave this laptop to our daughter for a late HS graduation gift so she is bummed as well. Thank you for your response.

Both of my kids have ASUS computers- my son got his from the ASUS website. He's an Engineer (an Engineering student at the time) and he needed to work with Autocad and all sorts of intense software. I think he used it for gaming purposes jsut as much though!! My daughter is an art major (Arts Education actually) and she needed to be able to run intense graphics programs. Her ASUS is a Best Buy only model.... I really didn't want to deal with Best Buy's Geek Squad for maintenace and repair (that's the source of warranty repairs), but so far they've been okay. The only issue so far is her headphone port - it stops working.

I looked at this, out of curiosity. They say right in the description all that is there. If it had that program, it would have said so in the description.

Secondly, I wonder about the processor on this one. I have never even heard of that processor.

I tend to go with Intel for processors and their i7 is monumentally better than even their i5. But the brandof processor on this computer - is that something generic?

This is an old processor from 2014. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Pentium-N3540-Notebook-Processor.117416.0.html

Oops! thanks for the info. Somehow, yesterday (it was a pretty bad day. argh), I didn't even see the 'Intel'. I just saw 'Baytrail' and I was thinking - what the heck?
