AWESOME LAPTOP

*love the LCD display on the keyboard
*Bluetooth and wireless
*HDMI / VGA hook ups
*Easy setup out the box
*Express Gate ROCKS!!
*p4gear ROCKS!!

*Battery life is very poor
*Has 2.0 Webcam, and a Mic, but they dont seem all that great
*Speakers sound like any other laptop speakers i have heard

The blue lights are pretty nice and eye catchy, even has a blue light trim around the touch pad. The blue lights can be changed through one of Asus programs. The LCD display on the keyboard is a nice feature for looking at CPU, Memory speed + some. I also have my call sign displayed on it. The Laptop display LCD screen is very nice, no dead pixels. This laptop is extremely glossy like a classic car, but to me is not stand out bright at all like some other reviews. comes with 64bit windows. The laptop is rather big for a 15" but i do have to say its one of the most comfortable laptops i have ever used. My hands fit nice on it with out having the edge cut into my wrist. I do give this a 4 out of 5, for a simple fact that te battery life is poor. I would expect ASUS comming out with an upgrade for it ASAP. I may get 1hr 20 mins on normal browsing, and small applications. Express gate is good for cutting down on power usuage since no windows is loaded. But u do get somenice features.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

Looks awesome. Turbo mode for fast overclocking. One of the best video cards a laptop can have.

After a week of putting files and programs on my first one, I started getting blue screens of death. ASUS had me wipe the drive and start again. Soon after it wouldn't boot all the way to Windows. Just in the nick of time we were able to get Newegg to swap it for another (Newegg is da bomb!). Lots of crapware slows the system down when you first get it, and now on this second one I'm getting reboots and the blue screen of death again. For a laptop with such awesome specs and components it sure isn't working reliably. I may have to send this one back also. :(

Between the Newegg 30 day warranty, the ASUS 1 year warranty, the 2 year extended warranty I bought, and the extra year of warranty my credit card gives I should be able to get this either replaced or fixed. I hope.
