4.0 out of 5 stars Really great but not perfect!!!, November 1, 2014
-----------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE 07-APR-2015----------------------------------------------------------------------

I must say that i found out (rather late, i don't keep an eye on the ROG forum regularly) that there is an update for the speaker drivers which apparently fixes the issue with the speakers. As it is, the problem seemed to be that the laptop was seeing the speakers as the sub woofer and vice versa (hence the left sided sound). I personally find such a mistake by ASUS incredible and unbelievable.

The new driver actually helps quite a bit. The sound is not left sided anymore. It seems to be a little more clear for me, but results may very. Now doesn't start to distort at 30% but at 70%.

Finally i must say that the laptop definitely sounds a little better although i still find it weak for a laptop of this price range. But the fact that this was even an issue makes me feel extremely uneasy about ASUS... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic machine!, February 27, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've had this laptop for about 3 weeks now.

It is premium quality and a delight to use. There are only two things about it that I would change:
1. I would like to be able to bend the screen a little further back (right now it goes to about the 100-110 degrees.
2. The escape key should be swapped with the recording button, or the recording and macro keys should be moved to the right.

These are extremely small issues.

I've so far played the following games on ultra settings with maximum AA/HBOA/etc.:
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 3
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Mass Effect 3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Titanfall
Many others that would obviously play well given the above.

I'm an engineer, so I use a variety of IDEs. I've used the following software (most of them simultaneously) and they were all extremely responsive:
Android Studio (this is quite a hog)
Google Chrome with like 50 tabs open (don't... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Laptop!, October 19, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This laptop is amazing. I am not a gamer so I can not comment on that. I purchased this for intense photo editing, video editing, and crazing amounts of multitasking with demanding programs. So far, it has been very fast and the laptop has quietly handled everything. I consider this to be the best laptop on the market at this moment. If I had the luxury of waiting, I would have waited for the 15 in version. The 17 inch is a beast...huge and heavy!

Pros
super fast
amazing display
very quiet
looks really cool
Win 8.1 (much better than Win 8)

Cons
location of bluray drive (I accidentally open it 10x a day. Frustrating.)
Had to disable most Asus Gestures. Got tired of stuff popping up all of the time, especially Win Charms.
Weight (I will probably not leave the house with this thing. too heavy.)
power supply connects to laptop loosely but my targus adaptor fits GREAT
