Pros: Good build quality. Best standard warranty I've seen. Quick and plays most games well on medium to high settings. Beautiful screen. And the 4 speaker system sounds decent.

Cons: Battery life. 1 hr - 1hr 45 min depending on use. No internet hotkeys. No dedicated home/end buttons. Have to turn off num lock to use them. Vista. Bleh. As of yet I haven't been able to track down XP drivers.

Overall Review: It's a great laptop for the price. I knew the battery life would suck when I bought it so whatever. And the issues with the keys are just personal annoyances.

Pros: You will be hard pressed to find a new laptop that offers more than this one does in the sub $1000 laptop market. Very solid build, fantastic warranty, above average tech support. Overall very satisfied.

Cons: I purchased a 4gig upgrade kit and the bios does not properly recognize all 4gigs of memory (only 3 gigs). Asus is aware of the problem and I was told a bios update would be issued very soon. Cpu can be upgraded, but high clock speed Turion X2 cpu's are hard to find. Wish it would have come with XP, Vista blows. Refuse to use an O.S. that "FORCES" me to accept data harvesting my activity (20+ ways) and sends it back to Microsoft! Google it and see for yourself. No "official" driver support for Windows XP Pro x64, found nearly all the drivers I need but dont think the webcam has them. If anyone runs across them, please let me know!

Overall Review: A few people have complained about not getting 2 gigs of memory or a slower cpu than advertised. Call Asus tech support and they will send you a new laptop (on their dime) and make it right. My brother in-law bought this laptop, the wireless nic was bad in it out of the box, Asus was out of stock on this model and upgraded him to a G2 (about a $400 upgrade)!

Pros: 1. Price 2. 17" Screen - Beautiful 3. 256M Dedicated Graphics 4. Free mouse and carrying bag. 5. Solid construction. Feels much more expensive! You are not going to find a better sub $1000 budget gaming laptop!

Cons: Even though I rated this at 5 stars I still have a gripe! This was for a TL-58. The box is labeled TL-58 (1.9GHz) but the processor is indeed a TL-56(1.8GHz). Disappointing since this item is supposed to be a TL-58. Not sure who to blame for that.

Overall Review: The other stick of ram is indeed under the keyboard. The shape of it will not allow it to fit most backpacks. Most pockets measure only 11" across. The pocket that holds this laptop should measure at least 12" across or stretch. Hardly any bloatware. I removed Norton and MS Office as they were both trials. No issues with Vista and no desire to switch to XP.

Pros: Everything! Came w/case, mouse, 2GB, great size for watching DVDs, 256MB dedicated Radeon 2600HD vid card, 8 cell batt, numeric pad, 4 USB, terrific screen, 2 yr warranty w/ lifetime free tech support, Newegg quick service & great price :-)

Cons: Came w/ Vista, but my quick learning curve mastered it in a week, basically forced it into XP/Win classic mode. Worst thing abt that was having to buy a lot of new S'ware.

Overall Review: Would buy again in a minute - highly recommended most bang for the buck - well respected name.

Pros: After playing with this beast for a few weeks, I have zero issues with it. Not to much junk pre installed from Asus. Runs WOW at max setting perfect, HL2 max settings perfect, COD 4 med settings. I feel its a good gaming laptop for around 1k

Cons: I have none at this time.

Overall Review: It comes with 2 gig of memory. 1 stick on the bottom, and 1 under the keyboard. I bought the Gskill 4gig kit, (DDR2, 667) to upgrade mine. Works like a champ.

Pros: AMAZING LAPTOP FOR THE MONEY!!AMAZING SCREEN!! FAST!

Cons: CAN NOT GET ESATA PORT TO WORK?

Pros: Great price for what you get. Good speed, 2gig of memory, dedicated video card, very nice screen. Plays WOW, COD4, just fine. According to Vista system test,4.9 As usual Newegg was Johnny on the spot with shipping, Thanks guys.

Cons: Vista. But what can you do other than whack it and drop on XP. Box shows wrong info on it. Box shows LT-56, but it IS a LT-58, and does have 2gig of memory. I guess they ran out of the correct stickers.

Overall Review: For what ever reason hard drive came split into 2 areas. 1 that is drive C, which is a total of 74gig, and drive D that is 67.5 gig. Not sure why that did that.
