ASUS E200HA Portable Lightweight 11.6-inch Intel Quad-Core Laptop, 4GB RAM, 32GB Storage, Windows 10 with 1 Year Microsoft Office 365 Subscription

It might a bit too early to write a review, but I've had this for a few solid days now and overall impression is excellent.For $200, you have to forgive its shortcomings and set your expectations realistically-- but it is still impressive what you can do with a laptop computer that costs less than your average tablet. Even at $300 or $400, I'd say this is still a good buy.Like a lot of people, I have multiple computers that each serve a niche. I have: Apple MacBook Air 13" Early-2014 (i5 with 256GB SSD), iPad 2 32GB, Samsung Note 4, Note 5, Note 3, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 4S, etc. [I buy and sell used and fix phones, so I have a lot of phones: main phone now is the Note 4...], and an old home-built AMD Windows 7 Desktop (used to be gaming machine with 2 video cards).My #1 rule with laptops is that it has to be light and portable, otherwise why bother. In real estate, it's "location, location, location". In laptops, it's "weight, weight, weight". This is why my MacBook Air is my main computer. I carry that thing everywhere and battery life is great. But alas! I have a need for a Windows computer, and my old home-brewed desktop is aging (almost 10 years old now) and I figure a lightweight laptop would be nice. Since it's not my main computer, I can forgo a lot of features and storage space, so I was looking for something compact and light. I used to have a "netbook" from Samsung about 5 years ago which was very small with cramped keyboard and very very slow, and I wasn't impressed. So I bought this E200HA with some hesitation that it might be the same type of "netbook". For $200, what the hell, I said...I mainly need a Windows machine because I currently run a few Windows-only programs on my Mac via emulation and as anyone knows, emulation is very laggy and slow. So the 2 things my Windows laptop needs to run are: 1. Quickbooks, which I use for my small business accounting [their Mac version doesn't have features that their Windows version has, which I need (inventory-related features)], and 2. Proprietary BMW software for reading error codes and programming the car (INPA, EDIBAS, NC Expert, etc.). Mind you, I've been running these on my Mac for a few years now, but at painfully slow speeds. The Asus E200HA handles these software well, so it serves it purpose and therefore I am happy.But beyond that, it impressed me with its long battery life (I got about 11 hours at 80% screen brightness and moderate use), multi-task ability (4GB of RAM)-- I have 10 tabs open in Google Chrome and no lag. I don't know what some of the other reviewers saying you can't have more than 2 tabs open... YouTube videos stream fine. I have an average of about 3-4 programs open in addition to my Chrome browser and it works fine, no lag, no crashes.The computer's internal drive is 32GB SSD (solid-state drive-- no moving parts), which after the default Windows 10 64-Bit Home Edition install leaves about 17GB of free space for storage. I put in a 64GB MicroSD card in the slot for extra storage, but haven't used it yet. I'm down to 8GB free on my main SSD. A 128GB SD card also works, FYI, even though officially Asus says 64GB max. The faster USB 3 port is to the left and the slower USB 2 port is to the right. They work as intended. I hooked up my external Seagate Slim 2TB drive to the USB 3.0 port and transfers are fast as expected. The power supply looks a bit like a USB or Thunderbolt, but it's not-- it's a proprietary plug. The charger itself is very light, like a cell phone charger. External video is possible via a mini HDMI port (you need a mini-HDMI to standard-HDMI cable or adapter-- the cable is like $7 from AmazonBasics, not too bad). The trackpad is large like on a Macbook, and has gesture, but not as elegant or good as the one on my Mac, but still good for 2-finger scrolling and touch tapping. The keyboard is a bit plasticy and light and a bit smaller scale than a full-size keyboard, but not too shabby. Screen isn't anything impressive, but it gets quite bright at 100% brightness. ASUS has a guarantee on dead pixels, so that's good to know.All in all, for $200 this is quite a bargain and a great little computer. The 32GB internal storage was a concern for me, but if this isn't your main computer, it's nothing to worry about. If it is, you need to budget ~$40 for a 128GB SD Card or ~$80 for an external USB 3.0 2TB drive.

ASUS E200HA-UB02-GD Portable 11.6-Inch Intel Quad-Core Laptop 4GB RAM 32GB Storage, Windows 10, Aurora Gold.  - The Chromebook competitor from ASUS is a winner. For under $200, ASUS has created a fairly powerful serious Windows 10 computer. My present workhorse laptop is a Lenovo Ultrabook IdeaPad Yoga 13 with an Intel I-5 chip (1.8 ghz) and this review will compare the two - the Asus is obviously smaller (by about 4 inches screen size) and less than half the weight - so its advantage is obviously where small size and weight is preferable to a bigger screen/keyboard/etc. My Lenovo runs Win 8.1 and the ASUS uses Win 10. I use Classic Shell on both (get it - it's free and lets you customize Win 8 or 10 to resemble XP or Win 7 menus). One note right away - most sellers sell the ASUS with just 2 GB, so stick to Amazon that has 4GB (I think that's really needed to power today's computers at a minimum). Now here's how the ASUS has done:I tried the ASUS with 4 web browsers (hate Edge, but IE11 is buried in there and can be used, and I also loaded Firefox and Chrome which run fine). I'm not a BING fan but switching search engines to Google isn't hard and I recommend that. I tried my old MSN mail dialup program (which is the old paid version of Hotmail) and it, along with Outlook, both did fine with Microsoft based mail. The ASUS came with a free year of Office 365 and that worked fine - I prefer the older versions of Word, etc., but a free year makes this $199 computer an even bigger bargain. I was also able to download my Corel Word Perfect/Office (Version 7) and it ran well too. I was able to open quite a few programs (all of the above) at once, with a total of about 15 separate browser windows open along with the mail and both word processors and the computer handled that. Web surfing and page loading was about as fast on the ASUS as on my Lenovo, a surprise, since the Lenovo is an i5 and the ASUS is a slower Atom chip, albeit a quad-core version. My gut says the ASUS will do fine for those who mainly web surf and do mail and word processing, but serious gamers will not have the power they need. But for a student or office work, this computer is a BARGAIN, and with it selling at a Chromebook price, it's an amazing deal.Two tips: While the touchpad was fine, I like mice, and a wireless mouse was a good addition. Also the computer is very limited on memory (32 GB, of which Windows and Office use much of that), so spend a few bucks and add a 128 GB microSD card (I did) and download files and less used programs there. There is a slot for the card.Plusses: It has a USB3 port and USB2 port, plus an HDMI port and speaker jack. It has a very good responsive keyboard with a great feel. And while the case has lots of plastic, it seems decently sturdy. The display is pretty good for an inexpensive one - not a rival for my Lenovo. The speaker is pretty loud for a small computer. It boots very quickly and setup was easy and fast and intuitive. The charger is very lightweight and it supports a fast charge protocol. I haven't fully hit the battery life because it's good - but going 9 hours didn't totally deplete it. The wifi connection supports a protocol my Lenovo doesn't so some websurfing may be faster than people used to surfing on older but more powerful laptops.Minuses: Another USB port or two would be nice, but it doesn't have but two. And for serious music, you'll want better speakers/headphones. And manual - well - it's a tiny piece of paper, so if you need details surf the internet, but that's typical for computers these days. And while I didn't slow it much on what I ran, true power users need more than the ASUS, but no $200 computer would meet that need.Biggest plus - under $200 - amazing power for that price. Even if you add Amazon's best deal on a memory card and grab a $7 mouse, with shipping you have a $225 deal. Not sure how they make money on it, but it's a steal. The gold color looks classy.

I bought this laptop after a long relationship with my 15.6" dinosaur of a laptop(over 7 years old). I wanted something for school at a decent price. So I bought the Asus Portable, not new but refurbished. For those who do not know, a used laptop is sold as is- it hasn't been tested or fixed. A refurbished laptop has been tested, repaired if required, and cleaned. It took longer to arrive than a new one would have, but I saved sixty dollars.I'm very happy with the Asus. I wanted something small and portable but with a full keyboard. This is exactly that. It runs smoothly and efficiently, and I love having a laptop again. The colour isn't as yellow as one would think(thank god). It's like gold had an affair with silver, got pregnant, and the Aurora Gold is what popped out(I love it because it means I can get whatever colour mouse I want!-without being tacky). If you've never had a notebook style laptop before, you have to get used to having the fn button which lets you use the sound, brightness, screen projection, etc. Which is easy to learn.I've read complaints that the sound is tinny but I've found that it just doesn't get loud enough to hear above a washing machine. But I have a bluetooth speaker which fixes that. The 32GB isn't much if you want to download a lot of games but that really slows down the computer. I recommend getting a flash drive or something if you're running out of space.All in all, I'm very happy to have a laptop again at such an affordable price.

I've had this laptop for several months now, and I dislike it very much. The track pad is atrocious. Just too many problems here to list. It actually gets worse the more you use it during a session. Usually there's a learning curve for a new laptop, but not with this thing - its just a mess. So I use a mouse whenever I can to compensate. Windows 10 takes up almost 75% of the memory. I'm constantly moving files off the thing just to make space so it doesn't slow down. Windows 10 is a pain as it is, but 75% of the memory? Just for an operating system? What a joke.Update - Its almost one year later, and the memory is almost filled to capacity with the operating system. The computer is buggy, and glitches out randomly, shutting down while you're working so you have to stay on top of save functions. Extremely slow, can't handle more than three simple programs running - abrobat reader, word and firefox!Seriously - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Esta computadora es super rápida, no le falta nada, está hecha para todas las tareas que le pongas, tus tareas de rendimiento empresarial será óptimo.

I bought my laptop in August and waited to write a review. As a university student this laptop is absolutely perfect! It's very small, light, and the colour is pretty too (more of a rose gold colour). The space is no issue for me as I only use my laptop for school work and everything is saved onto my one-drive account. The battery life is extremely long, but if you use high screen brightness it won't last nearly as long as it normally can. It's the perfect little laptop for basic usage.However, over the couple months I have noticed that sometimes when I open my laptop up it won't turn on. I hold the power button down and nothing happens. It's at the worst timing too (when I'm about to start lecture) so it can be very frustrating. If you have this issue too, my solution is to hold the power button while the screen is black (nothing will happen) then close my laptop for about a minute. After a minute (sometimes takes a couple) I open my screen back up and the lock screen pops and everything works as normal. It's very weird and idk why it does this, but it's only temporary (at least for me). I take extremely good care of my laptop and have done nothing to harm it (i.e. Drop it), but this is always an annoyance and I simply can't send it away for a week or two as I need to use my laptop everyday for class. Im just nervous one day it won't turn back on.Overall, this laptop is amazing, especially for the price, but you may encounter this problem. I read some reviews previous to buying it and saw this as an issue, but not by many people so I'm writing this as a precautionary to anyone thinking about getting it!! Many reviews are done within the week or two of buying the product and my issue didn't start until after a month of owning it, so please be aware.
