Pros: ASUS finally fixed that amazingly annoying studder. Computer now has a SEAGATE hdd after repair (not sure what the bad hdd was).
The specs are very good for the price.
Cons: Took two RMAs and several months to get the studder, or freezes, to get fixed, very very frustrating.
900 line display wouldve been nice, but the 768 isnt bad.
Other Thoughts: Ok here's the deal. It took two RMAs, and they sent it to level 2 tech support to find the problem. Replacing the video card didnt fix the studder. Replacing the hard drive did. Yes, even on battery. System works as intended now. What likely happened was that Asus bought a defective batch of HDDs and many of the K61ICs got them installed. It's time for them to do the responsible thing and.... ASUS SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE HDDs. In any case I'll issue it for them. If you have the studdering problem be sure to mention ***RMA N-USA1020178. ***
Thats my second RMA, the one where they found a problem with the hdd and replaced it. Replacing the HDD fixed the problem, at least 2 days into watching movies on battery and AC power.
Mentioning my RMA number should help you get the repair you need and should help ASUS by saving them money not having to issue multiple RMAs for everyone while chasing the problem.
We sincerely apologize that it took 2 RMA's to resolve your issue, if you have any other issues please do email us at aps_support@asus.com

Updating the chipset does not fix the stutter. DO NOT BUY THIS

Pros: Not worth it.
Cons: If you use the battery at all and try to play games, watch video or do any other multimedia activity this computer freezes for 1-2 seconds and makes a loud BUZZZZ noise that is extremely annoying. ASUS knows about the problem and has no solution besides replacing the vga adapter. Many people on the vip.asus forums have had their vga adapter replaced to no avail.
I own 3 of these K61 notebooks and they all have the same problem so I can safely say they all do it.
And there is no solution in sight. All of my drivers are up to date and there are absolutely no superfluous programs running in the background. When I disable the vga adapter the stuttering stops.
Other Thoughts: This computer is a big pile of excrement and until ASUS finds a solution to the problem or replaces them with different models I'm going to write bad reviews every chance I get.
DEAR ASUS: ALL OF THEM DO IT SO PLEASE FIX IT OR REPLACE THEM WITH 3 NEW MODELS THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT VGA CARD.

Pros: Well the specs are fantastic for the Price. The screen is amazing. Asus has preloaded screen settings. I prefer to use soft, which is VERY easy on the eyes. I often got headaches from computer screens and not one since I have been using this.
It runs my games well. I updated the chipset BIOS to fix the stuttering issue in intense programs. Runs Call of Duty 2 and 4 on medium settings with a steady 60-90 fps, even in smoke.
Company of Heroes is medium settings with a steady 60 fps, even when I'm blowing up the map with 16 howitzers.
Wow runs flawlessly. My brother in law plays obsessively while watching my dogs every saturday while my wife and I are at work.
I am a computer Science Student. It runs all computer applications great. It renders movies quickly for a laptop(using Sony Vegas).
Cons: Battery life could be better. But you pay for what is in the specs.
Other Thoughts: This laptop only comes witha 6 cell battery. Other Asus laptops I have seen with an 8 or a 9.
This is the best purchase I have made in 3 years. I am very satisfied with this laptop. The warranties that come with it from Asus are SOOOOOO awesome.
