Excellent laptop for a wonderful price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not used to having a laptop/computer capable of running the latest games with beautiful graphics, and this laptop allows exactly that! The resolution of the screen, paired with the internal parts makes any game that I play run smoothly even with high graphics.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Speed

Keyboard issues out of the box
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My main gripe is with Best Buy. They held my order and would not fullfill because they didn't want to say it was out of stock. Had to transfer to another store for pickup. Having said that, it's not a bad machine but would not pay full Best Buy price. Got it on my wife's company discount and saved about $300. On the issues with the keyboard. Out of the box, there was some sort of software/firmware problem with the upper right number keys. Typing more than one or two keys in a row (only on those keys) would put the machine in sleep mode. I thought it was a hardware issue. Called ASUS Tech and they suggested doing a reset and restore as sometimes the machines leave the factory with a bad image. Did that and the problem just disappeared. Crazy! The three stars are strictly due to the out of the box issues. Should never happen on a $1,500 (discounted) machine.

Awesome Gaming Laptop for the price!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked at a lot of different laptops in this spec range and this one was easily one of the best.

Great intro to PC Gaming
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been playing around with this laptop for a few days and have been highly impressed. The finish on the chassis is aesthetically pleasing. The audio from the built in speakers has been way better then i expected! Highly recommend this unit to a new PC gamer such as myself.

Very Good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good laptop. Everything works great. My complaints are that out of the box the corner piece of my laptop below the screen is broken, and the mouse pad does not always seem to work perfectly. Other than those two small problems I love this computer.

A great gaming laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first ever gaming laptop and it has been a great laptop so far. Runs smoothly and can play triple A title games at high and sometimes at Ultra settings. The 120hz screen is really nice too along with its 1080p display.

Poor performance after 4 weeks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, everything was going great the first 4 weeks. Suddenly, 10 - 20 FPS in all the games. Before this behavior (3rd week) had crashes of some games and unexpected FPS drops. Task manager shows 90 - 100% of GTX usage (not sure if it is expected). Thought it was a Nvidia issue so went ahead and checked Drivers, changed Nvidia settings, used different monitors, same issue. In addition, typical ##%, plugged in not charging. Decided to Restore PC keeping files... same issues. Did a complete factory reset, unbelievable but both problems are still happening. Already tried advanced troubleshooting for both issues and nothing seems to work. Benchmarks confirm this unit is working below expectations, so it is not a GPU issue as the CPU is also working terrible. The whole system is getting around 25 - 40% of its real power. For ex, 12 FPS running PoE in full graphics. Graphic intense games are impossible to play in high settings. Contacted Asus and after CERO help (did you try to reboot the laptop?) they told me to contact best buy to replace the laptop. Sounds easy but not when you live in Costa Rica. I know this is a great product but most likely I have a defective one. I guess now I'll have to go to my "nearest store" so I can get a new laptop. I hope Asus read this, I still have some hope this is a known issue and they have a magic step for me to try and fix my ROG laptop :-)

Amazing Laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great laptop for gaming. My only hang-up was that none of the drivers were up to date, so I had to manually fix all of them myself. Other than that, this laptop is my dream come true.

Great laptop for casuals
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop comes with a great graphic card, although it seems only for gaming, it can also help with engineering programs like AutoCAD or SAP2000, the processor is a monster too.
