Tempting Lappy

This thing seems to have a ton going for it and at a nutty price. My Toshiba Qosimio beast is giving me some issues and is not all that portable. Where as this one is light weight and very sleek with 75% the capabilities.

Personally I'm a huge Asus fan, the price to performance in most cases is hard to beat. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Toshiba.. My Mom/Dads Satellite died within a few months without warning. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5259372&CatId=927 looks pretty good with the added touch screen for about the same price.

My Asus is the best laptop I have ever had. When I look for one in the future it will most likely be another Asus. I've had and hated 2 Toshiba laptops.

Not sure if that is a refurbished price, but I looked it up on Tigerdirect and it was 899+

I am not comfortable with Win8 yet.

Very true, You can get rid of the tablet portion with an application like Start 8, it'll make it look like Win 7.

For the price you can get much better, and windows 8 is great...If you have a touchscreen very very similar to Windows 7

Could always reformat your current laptop too, generally fixes all non-hardware related issues
