Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is this computer new?IVAN P : Unless it says used, it should be new. I've had this laptop for about a month and love it, except the battery life isn't that great (3-4 hrs. if you use it for schoolwork, social media, etc.).
Shopper : Any problems with a dual operating system - Windows 10 & Ubuntu 14.04 (Linux)? No problem with Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 14.04 on my Asus desktop.ANDREW R : Not specified by the manufacturer
