Answer
My wife and I each bought a Toshiba Satellite from Best Buy because we read in consumer reports that Toshiba had the lowest repair rate. We have both been very satisfied. I would buy Toshiba again.

Is this a good laptop for average college student?

I'm not a gamer, I don't use photoshop or any special programs. I just want a computer that is good at multitasking (listening to music, having multiple tabs open in my browser) and for general use like Microsoft Word. Thanks.
Ah, sorry. I'll just link the cnet review then. The specs should be in the full review.

Answer
It look like a good BASIC laptop. Not a bunch of frills, will probably to a basic job well. Asus never quite makes it into the Consumer Reports Recommended category, but it it would be a decent quality student notebook.
