The right laptop for the home office

For word processing, email, Internet and all the normal tasks of a home office, this laptop is a great buy. Simple and easy to set up, powerful enough and versatile for anyone transitioning from Windows XP in the office. ASUS is rated as one of the least likely laptops to fail early on.
