A:AnswerOn mine the DVD does not play movies. I contacted Asus and they informed me that there is no software included to allow the DVD to play movies. I was instructed by Asus to download VLC player or similar if I wanted a functional DVD player. Perhaps something similar is preventing your game from working
A:AnswerHad this laptop for two months now. Can watch movies all day on battery. With a SSD in the system.
It will play Fallout 4 on medium graphics for 1~ hour before it dies. And Fallout New Vegas on Ultra for two hours before it dies.
A:Answerhonestly, in my two weeks of using and gaming on it, not really. when I play CS its does get a little warm near the WASD keys, other than that, not really, performs just like any other laptop would in terms of heat
A:AnswerYes, they can replace the optical drive with an SSD drive. The replacement will depend on the retail store, you may bring the necessary materials if best buy doesn't have it. For the total cost of replacement or repair, it will be the retailers discretion.
A:AnswerYour computer comes with the computer it's self, a charge, a speaker (which works great!!!! It's nice a loud perfect for music), and the paperwork.
So yes the sphere is your speaker. The cord is tucked in under a piece that lifts up. I have used it for mainly my phone because the laptop sound is great.
A:AnswerMy opinion - all tech stuff is obsolete the minute you pay for it and walk out the door. It is kinda like buying a car and driving it off the lot - the value drops instantly.
That being said, the product is great and well worth the money. There will always be something new/better/different. This is a solid product - well worth the money - and a great investment.
I bought one for my senior in college; turned around and bought another for my sophomore in college; and will soon be purchasing my own.
Go for it!!!
