Most Critical Review

Great while it lasted

ASUS Laptop G74 Series Intel Core i7-2630QM 12GB Memory 1.5TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G74SX-A1
ASUS Laptop G74 Series Intel Core i7-2630QM 12GB Memory 1.5TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G74SX-A1

Pros: great for gaming

Cons: low screen resolution, horrific battery life, unreliable, bad warranty

Overall Review: this laptop didn't last and it cost a fortune. The warranty was worthless, needed hundreds of dollars in repairs and took a long time to turn it around but because it was literally days after the warranty expired even though I opened the ticket before the warranty expired, ASUS charged me. I hate ASUS, they treat customers like garbage.

CD drive is loud, very old machine, wifi doesn't stay connected

Dell Latitude E6540 Laptop, Quad Core i7 4800MQ 2.7Ghz, 16GB DDR3, 512GB SSD Hard Drive, 1080P 15.6" FHD LCD, AMD Radeon HD 8790M 2GB GDDR5, HDMI, Windows 10 Pro

Pros: fast, durable, tons of ports

Cons: Wifi sucks. This was a windows 7 machine originally-its very old and heavy and clunky. If I'd realized How old I would have bought something else. Refurb was fine

Overall Review: I would not recommend this-get something newer and lighter. These machines are 5-7 years old, if I'd realized I'd have bought another machine.

After 1 DOA, working one has horrible back bleed, awful display, bad quality control

ASUS ROG - 17.3" IPS - Intel Core i7-4720HQ - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M - 16 GB DDR3L - 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Home 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop (G751JT-WH71(WX) )
ASUS ROG - 17.3" IPS - Intel Core i7-4720HQ - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M - 16 GB DDR3L - 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Home 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop (G751JT-WH71(WX) )

Pros: Performance

Cons: Durability, Screen, battery life, build quality, display, sound, size, weight

Overall Review: Yes, it runs games great, if it works, but the build quality and screen quality are terrible. The first one was completely dead. Second one works but the monitor has horrible back bleed, making anything slightly dark look like garbage. Also, the mouse button on the second one didn't work! Asus must be going way downhill, returning TWO of their laptops now, definitely going with a different brand.

Long lasting, great performance.

Pros: Work great, no issues, long lasting

Cons: none

Overall Review: I bought these in 2010. I'm writing this in 2015, several mother boards later. They work perfectly.
