Asus Recovery Discs

Hi

Could anyone tell me if all Asus computers come with a recovery disc?

In particular I've seen one on ebuyer for £400. Asus X50R-AP391C - which I think may now be discontinued - doesn't seem to mention it on asus website - does anyone know?
  • Type: Intel Dual Core T2250
  • Clock Speed: 1.73 GHz
2gb of ram and 200gb hard drive!! Seems too good to be true to me?! What does anyone else think?!

I'm nervous about getting any laptop though if you can't restore the hard drive and it doesn't seem to mention anywhere if it includes recovery discs.

Thanks

Dave

    It'll either have a recovery disk, have a recovery partition, or come with a proper windows CD.

    yes they do. They come with 2 years manufacturers warranty unlike other brands. sold around 12 of them so far and I am pleased with them. solid laptops with very good screens. webcam is clear and laptop is very responsive. they work both with xp and vista.
    hope this helps.
