Pros: Fast! Screen Size and Resolution Looks awesome - Got some nice comments from my coworkers Plays all my games better than the Desktop PC i just build Extra HDD slot (for my SSD) Runs real quiet Stays pretty cool temperature-wise

Cons: Windows 8 Some people might not like the size If you get a backpack for it, make sure the backpack will support the size (must support 17.3 inch) no SSD - I purchased later

Overall Review: By far the best laptop I have ever owned. I use this laptop both as a gaming device and my work machine (software development). Some things to note: Windows 8. I hated it at first and I still hate it. Getting use to the navigation is a bit frustrating at times. No fault of the ASUS laptop. Haven't ran into any compatibility issues. No SSD was kind of a bummer but for the price of SSD now, you can buy an SSD and install it yourself and save 300-400 bucks. That is what I ended up doing. Please note if you do this, there are screws tapped to the inside of center packing boxes for the extra hard drive installation.

Pros: -Great Case -Easy Setup -Lots of space -Has a pen that holds your MOBO in-place as your screw down -Awesome looking -Carry handles -The reset button -Easy Open Panels on both side. -Even my non-nerdy wife was impressed. -Lighter than I expected

Cons: -None

Overall Review: Hands down the best case I've ever owned. I went over my computer budget when I saw this case, and I do not regret it.
