Pros: Functions perfectly except sound, and everything promised is under the hood. 500 GB hard drive,Graphic card (Gtx 670, as advertised), Processor, It's all there. She can handle just about anything I can throw at her, and that's with a few benchmark tests. She cost's a pretty penny, but there is reason for that. She hauls.

Cons: The sound is not working properly! I don't know why, but half the time it is not registering the built in sub-woofer, and everything sounds exceptionally tinny and far off, as if listening from on end of a tunnel to the other. I had a previous series computer (G73), and never once had this issue. I don't know if it is something wrong with a change in audio software ( I noticed its a different company this time around ), and when I went to check to make sure I had up to date software and drivers, I couldn't read the sight because it was in Japanese or Chinese. Extraordinarily troubling. This is a brand new machine opened and found this day of, and I will be contacting Asus to see what can be done. For now I will function with my headphones on, but until it gets resolved, then no 5 egg rating. Other issue is the weight, but there really is nothing that can be done about that with this beast of a laptop, and I'm fine with that.
