Pros: - Solid gaming laptop, runs everything great - Although a refurb looks brand new, not a mark on this one, I got really lucky - Not as large as I expected, though definitely large for a laptop. - Great price point for a gaming laptop. Asus seemed (judging from the reviews here) of refurbing these really well and making them well worth the money right now.

Cons: - It does have the audio issue that others have stated, where the speakers don't work but headphone do. If that's the only problem I won't be returning it for that alone. - Lots of bloatware, moreso than I expected. I have yet to do a reinstall, but likely will

Overall Review: Now, for those having the Wireless issue where your connection gets disabled/turned off. I had the same thing happen where my hardware switch got moved to off when I was packing it up and when I turned it back on, I wouldn't re-enable. There is also a software button to toggle it ON/OFF by holding FNCT+2 (? it's the one with the wifi logo on it - might be 3 - don't have the comp in front of me atm). Try that before going to any extremes. Looks like the hardware button might be disabling it in the software also so you have to toggle both.
