Asus laptop for college?

[Spendy]

Hi,

I need a laptop for college and I am thinking about getting this laptop from asus https/www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N76VJ/ But I am wondering if Asus are a reliable make for laptops. I bought a tablet from them the Asus transformer tf300t and I had to RMA twice in a 8 month period. The tablet made me a bit sceptical about getting a laptop from them but I suppose its a different product from them. But yeah if anyone has a laptop from them are they reliable and good quality?

Thanks =)

Asus is probably the best for laptops. Looks like you had a lemon.

Hi

The problem we have with Asus lappies is we cannot easily get the parts for repair....

So buy another make...

Hi

My advice is ACER ..PARTS are easy to get in the future....

Avoid Lenovo... parts problems again , and APPALLING customer service, according to my customers...

Even if you're in the US, you're probably only going to get a GT (rather than a GTX) graphics card in your laptop for US$850.
If you want a good gamer, try a MSI with at least a GTX660M card.

Im in Ireland so its 850-900€ (1150$) max budget so I dont know what the best laptop is I could buy for that =/

Try asus G series for pro gaming and N series for gaming and daily use...and as well the N6 series is a very good option for watching videos and it comes with bang&olufsen speakers and subwoofer

At US$850 you can probably only buy in to a laptop with a bottom end graphics card - GT640 at best. You need to search local outlets and have a look at benchmarking websites to compares what you get for how much.
For gaming a dual core processor is probably OK. But for video editing a quad core is much better.

Tablets are a completely different proposition to laptops. Asus laptops are about the best, quality-wise, that you can buy. MSI are also good - especially if you're looking at gaming on them. But you have to pay big bucks for a good one. PC's are a bit better when it comes to bang for buck.
