Extremely fast, but keyboard will make you cry.

ASUS Laptop Intel Core i7-3630QM 12GB Memory 750GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 17.3" Windows 8 64-bit A-G75VW-BH71-CB
ASUS Laptop Intel Core i7-3630QM 12GB Memory 750GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 17.3" Windows 8 64-bit A-G75VW-BH71-CB

Pros: The laptop is extremely fast, I purchased it for a gaming laptop. Even though the processor is 2 years old it is still much faster than most of the newer processors on laptops in the $1000 range. The graphics card is the cheapest GTX possible but is a better card than most of the newer GT models. I bought this computer to run Diablo 3 and it runs it great on highest settings. The HDD is large but personally I would rather have a HDD 1/4 the size that is SSD.

Cons: The keyboard is terrible. the shift and enter keys are half-sized and there is 2 additional keys. Im not sure if this keyboard is for another language besides english but it is very akward, I will never hit shift or enter the first time. Also Windows 8 is the worst operating system I have used, it is not user friendly at all. After about 30 minutes of trying to even get to the control panel, I almost pulled out my Win7 CD. Unfortunately the computer did not come with a driver disk or I probably would have reformatted with Win7.

First headset disconnected often, second disconnects as well

Pros: Great sound, very comfortable.

Cons: The headset disconnects every 10-20 minutes for 4-5 seconds. This happened to my first set, I contacted Logitech and they replaced the headset with another. My second headset disconnects just as often as the first. I tried multiple computers, with the Logitech software and without with no change. What is even worse is that people that I talk to on Skype and Teamspeak says my Mic makes a loud popping noise, people don't even like talking to me anymore. I am about to submit another RMA to try a 3rd headset out, maybe I will get lucky with this one.

BSOD after 7 months

Pros: Very fast, like extremely fast. I never thought a SSD could make such a difference.

Cons: Crapped out after 7 months, BSOD every time I boot, I unplug the drive and boot from old hard drive and it works fine.

Need to RMA

AZIO Levetron GH808 USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
AZIO Levetron GH808 USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset

Pros: Great sound quality for the speakers and the mic

Cons: The bass is too loud and rattles the headphones with the bass button both on and off. The volume button is in a bad location every time you set them down the button gets moved and when the volume is too low it makes this awful reverb noise and everyone that I am talking to yells and me and tells me my mic is making terrible noise. Talked to Azio to see if this was a known issue, they weren't helpful and told me to contact Newegg for a RMA.

Randomly locks up

GIGABYTE GM-M6980 Black Tilt Wheel USB Wired Laser 2000 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Looks cool, works well when it works.

Cons: Randomly locks up and you cant move the mouse for like 10 seconds every few minutes. Causes me to die in Diablo 3...
