Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been waiting for the i7 core laptops to release and here it is. I originally had a dell XPS 16 on order forever and a day (32 days to be exact) and they delayed it AGAIN, so I looked elsewhere. Amazon had this one in stock and got it for next day shipping for $40! And saved a ton off the dell version.
As for the laptop itself, it is a great machine. It boots very fast, does not run hot (considering equipment). The screen is beautiful and the keyboard has a nice feel to it. What it used to take my Core 2 Duo desktop 12 hours to do, this does in 4 (compressing and archiving over 100gb of photos in a .rar)! I have tried to tax the crap out of it and can never get the processors to 100%. Gaming will fix that.
I am not a huge gamer, but wanted a powerful machine for a lot of photo \ movie stuff and also play the occasional game (COD MW2). Also, as a graduate student, I often hook up external monitors and use Dragon NS 10.1 and it has absolutely no issues with it. This is way overkill, but a sweet machine nonetheless.
Pros- built in Blue-tooth, sweet wireless card, cooling seem adequate. Core i7!
Some minor annoyances- Lights on external lid can not be shut off.
One more note- Amazon's write up states only 4gb, but it can actually go to 8gb according to ASUS and a lot of 'boutique' sites.
Reasons for not getting four stars:
Very low batt. life- Gaming laptop, so take that for what it is worth
No fingerprint reader (comes with facial recognition, but that can be beat with a photo)
Dual drives but no RAID?!??
