Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did a lot of research when I bought this computer. I needed to replace a three year old Asus with the 660M, i7 2.4GHz. I was happy with my older laptop, but it was never as fast as I wanted and was commitment to finding the right computer even if that meant it wasn't routinely in stock. My final comparison came down to a custom build Alienware and this Asus. The final deciding factor between the two was the weight. The Asus weighed about half as much with nearly the same specs. I do a lot of video editing on Adobe Premiere and graphic design in Illustrator/Photoshop. The seperate SSD makes these programs run fast and have had no complaints. I also game: Mass Effect, WoW, STO, and Sims4. The FPS are great, and I really like the flexibility I get with the ROG Gaming Center Profiles. Battery life is to be expected when you're running high performance programs, but just office suite programs I've never noticed running out of juice before I was ready to move on to my next location. The only two complaints I can think of: 1) the footprint is bigger than I expected but that's the price of the light weight material and 2) I wish the power source cords were longer; the brick is an awkward spot between the wall cord and the computer adapter side. Overall no regrets, totally worth the price, and is my favorite thing I own.
