Very smooth hard to bog down!

I took the best care of my laptop, making sure that it was always secure, never dropped, not even scratched, and I only downloaded software that was from verified corporations such as Steam. After only running this computer for 7 days and over-clocking it when it was tanking on frames, the computer would just freak out and shut down permanently. If you try to turn it back on, it simply just restarts over and over again within a 1-3 second time-frame without giving you any chance at all to change anything or modify it. I can assure you that I didnt leave this laptop on for long periods of time, and at most gamed for 6 hours in one day. This has happened to me on multiple occasions and now I have to get the laptop fixed because it wont even start up anymore. Please if youre looking for a good computer, I beg you not to buy this version. Its horrible and it tanks to run good games like COD B03 Zombies. I suggest buying the $1450 version of this computer, as it has a better graphics card, more RAM, and just overall a better computer. Do not waste your money on this, because I promise you its an extremely mid-tier computer that will tank to run a lot of good games. If youre looking only to run games like L4D2 and other low-graphics games like that, then I can assure you that this computer is for you. Other than that, I highly advise you get an upgrade because itll save you from wasting your money. I hope this helped, and let me know if other buyers have encountered the same issue.

youre going to have to do some messing around with the wifi drivers. be careful, you can screw yourself over if you dont do it right. so I recommend doing a lot of research and making sure you know how it works or going to a professional to help.

Awesome powerful gaming system. It powers up fast and shuts down easily. Updating the graphics card is an easy step through step process when needed it. The design is awesome. I love the lit up features. It doesn’t come with a mouse, so order a good simple gaming mouse or you’ll be stuck with the mouse screen.

Its true, it gets really loudly, but u know that u a putting good stuff inside a small place, so its normal that happens.

My 4 year old Digital Storms fans went dead. I was faced with the choice of fixing the fans or getting a replacement for a system that was long in the tooth. When I saw this laptop with a much better video card than that in the old system I decided to see if it would work as a replacement. All my data were on external hard drives. I plugged them into the USB 3 ports. I used a USB hub to connect keyboard and mouse. My monitor was connected via the HDMI connector. External speakers were attached via the headphone plug. I plugged my internet router to the Ethernet port using an extender. My internet speeds were the same with the extender as they were before I used it.

This has a few feautres that are cool, custom keyboard color and fan control; however, the laptop I bought from ASUS for the same price 5 years ago was far superior in gaming quality. I excpected at least the equivalent. Do not buy this for gaming until they realize youre supposed to increase in quality as time moves forward, not the other way around. I was never going to buy from ASUS again after I bought a lemon last time, but gave it second thought. Never second guess yoruself, ASUS is a ripoff company.

I just received my package and wanted to immediately upgrade the hard drive. Much to my utter shock, the most important piece of the laptop was missing, the hard drive. It was just empty there, nada. I have called the customer support for help and they have transferred my claim to another department, so I will have to wait 2-3 business days for that call. It sounds pretty crazy but this is where I am right now. I paid this much money to have such an important piece of hardware missing.

Ive had this laptop for a pretty long time now and it’s the Best laptop ive ever owned. I love PC gaming and have a PC set up but knew I wanted a laptop that could handle some games if I was ever traveling. I honestly mostly use the laptop for watching videos, doing all my school work, and watching Hulu and it’s just such a great laptop. I’ve noticed the battery life isn’t anything crazy, depending on what you’re doing it can last a good while and warns you pretty up well when you need to charge before it’s too late
