Pros: My pro's Large area for resting your hands when typing. Overall weight(my last gaming laptop was a TANK) Speed, speed, speed. This thing is FAST Great display backlit keyboard Keys are responsive small bezel, which gives the screen a larger appearance runs very quiet when just browsing the net fan speed button Speakers are loud enough for me and sound good

Cons: Keyboard size is smaller than my last one and has taken some getting used to. Plug ins for a mouse are all on the left hand side. When I game I sit on my couch with the mouse on the cushion next to me, so having to stretch the cord around to the right. Can get a bit warm when actually on your lap during a gaming session

Overall Review: Overall I just cant get enough of this laptop. I almost smile each time I jump on to do anything, and have started gaming again because of it. If your looking for what I would guess is a budget minded gaming laptop you cant go wrong with this one. This is my second ASUS laptop and would consider myself sold on the brand.
