Good laptop

My opinion laptops are like tires on your car, don't buy the most expensive ones and replace when needed. For $200 these are hard to beat. No they are not the fastest units on the block. Compared to a $1,000 laptop, 5 years down the road, you could be much faster , with replacement units every year... than that old expensive laptop.

Lurking around every corner are malicious online threats that put your computers, mobile devices, information and identity at risk. While you answer e-mail, you're vulnerable to phishing attacks.

Better than nothing

Not a fan of AV programs. They have all failed us at one point or another. However you need something on a machine. But remember not 2... so if you have a trial or old version of an AV program remove it first. Virus' are a smaller part of the PC problem these days, Mal-ware is bigger, unfortunately cutting the keyboard and mouse wires (the cause) is not a good alternative. Bad software gets installed because of the users actions. Also not a fan of auto renewing software, so if they have your credit card number, make sure you are still using the software, you might be paying for nothing. Not saying this software does that but most major AV programs do. Be aware.

Back your stuff up. If you simply right click all your photos and send them to this drive.... and anything else you don't want to loose. No body ever got fired for having too many backups. There are a number of backup programs out there but none better than copying files to an external drive and then verify you can see them. Get 2 and copy them again... don't loose anything.

Asus - great basic laptop
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have purchased this basic laptop for all my children over the years and recommended it to others. A laptop is a consumable, just like tires on your vehicle. At $200 or near, it fits this scenario perfectly. Over the course of 2 years most laptops, hinges fail, keys start sticking or falling off, rubber feet gone (causing future over heating), batteries won't keep a charge, AC adapters get broken, etc. It is a lot easier to replace this level of laptop if you have not financed the ranch... move on and probably up to a faster unit....

Back up your Stuff

It is too easy and too cheap not to back up your stuff on a regular basis. Crypto Virus these days will lock all your data files, keep a backup copy of them off your computer. At some point in your life you will loose a computer, it will get stolen, burn up, crash or get a virus... back up your stuff. It works much better if you do it before one of the things above happens.

Don't use your iPad without one. Spend a few bucks for one of these or plan on purchasing a new screen at some point. Might as well pay now, plus you get the use of a blue tooth keyboard as a bonus.

Avoid data loss during unexpected power outages with this APC battery backup. Plug in up to seven devices and let the two surge protectors keep your critical electronics protected. This APC battery backup delivers a battery run time of up to 5.9 hours, which provides plenty of time to save and back up your work.
 

I need to run a PC, Monitor, Printer, Modem, Router, and phone. How big a unit will need my needs?

This should be sufficient to run all but the printer if it is a laser printer. Laser printer is an inductive load and will lower the reserve power or time you have on battery backup.

Would this work to operate a 3 position power lift recliner? My mother is always worried about getting stuck in it when power goes out. The transformer uses 2 9-volt batteries for a "1 time use" when power goes out but it is not dependable.

The chair is running a motor, an inductive load. They really aren't meant to run that type of load, because of the quick drain much like a laser printer. I don't know of too many other economic choices. You need power when commercial power is out. I would test it before you need it and occasionally after it is installed to make sure it will work and not overload the circuit breaker. Remember the lead acid batteries last about the same as car batteries. They need to be replaced some time in the future and that may be as little as every two years.

Remove dirt and spills easily with this 5-gal. Stanley wet/dry vacuum. Its 10-foot electrical cord lets you cover wide areas without changing outlets, and the 4.0 HP motor provides strong suction for tidying up messes. The rear port on this Stanley wet/dry vacuum converts it to a power blower for leaf cleanup.
 

what accessories goes with this? specifically the head suction can i see the picture?

Mine came with a flexible tube a bit over 5 foot. Could have been longer but there are also 2 solid extensions and the AC cord is adequate length. 3 attachments: wide for floors, smaller and crevice tool for base boards or between car seats. easy storage on the vacuum itself. The main suction head is 5 gallon and 4 HP. I use it primarily around the house and some cleaning the cars. Works like it should and easier than dragging my big shop vac that usually stays in the garage. I have added a photo with the attachments. I would buy it again.

Is the CD-Rom the same as those in a laptop or is it the more substantial CD-Rom one found in most towers?

unfortunately it looks like the ones in laptops, it's mounted sideways... since people don't use DVD or CD's much these days, I would not consider it a deal breaker.

will the computer have the window 7 pro 64 option or it only in window10

Windows 10 Only, unless you go back in time and get a copy of Windows 7. Keep in mind 10 has been out well over a year now... If you simply don't like the interface, I would suggest going to ninite.com and installing Classic Start. Once installed you can right click the start button and go to settings and pick the interface look you want.

We got this new computer for our pre-k class and just want to be able to play our learning games. We are not connected to wi-fi and the computer will not let me sign in. Can you help please!!! Sara

Unfortunately you probably got sucked into setting up a Microsoft account when you first started the machine. Best practice would be to take it back to where you have internet and log in. Then go to users and change the type to local account. Then you should be able to get into it when there is no internet available.

Does this printer work with an iPad air2? Apple does not list it as an air printer.

You might be able to get around it by using the Hammer Mill app. I have gotten a number of printers to work using it. And I have had a number that didn't. App is free
