Very heavy, Spongy keys, Narrow color spectrum, TFT not outdoor suitable, No ExpressCard54/34, A keyboard on which the fingers aren't left in the dark, but receive a clearer feedback instead

I love the 17.3" monitor! It's has a great feel, but still getting used to this keyboard.. The 740q is running my games with max res settings

The vent out of the left side blows some pretty hot air when I run two monitors, but I have a Laptop cooling system enroute

Powerful, fast, loud, graphically superior. WONDERFUL port arrangement- USB in the back is really nice. Screen is awesome, plugs into my receiver at home for HD and nice surround sound

Battery life is bad- but I went in knowing this and I pretty much keep it plugged in all the time- even when in the car. I could have sworn it came with a Blu-Ray player, but I must have read the tech specs wrong. Had to buy a special case for it to...

Asus never disappointed its customers, and this is no exception. Excellent laptop with vivid bright LED screen which is difference you can see compared to other laptops. I bought this mainly for music and gaming, and N73 is great for both

Keyboard is not the best but can be easily accommodated ; One of the multimedia buttons on the side is not functioning but I never used them anyway

I'm loving the quick corei7. It easily beats out my core 2 quad thats clocked at 3ghz. This laptop easily beats out my pc setup that i put together a year and a half ago. Ram is really fast. DVD burner is pretty fast. The usb 3.0 slot is great since i...

keyboard shows the dipping but its ok because you can hardly see it. bad battery life but who expects a quadcore laptop with a 17.3inch screen to last more than 2hours

this machine is large so it will take up some real estate. even before powering up you will see that this thing is very well made. the brushed aluminum top is gorgeous. the LED screen is vivid and bright. the media buttons are very useful and the...

the display is not HD although this will output HD through the HDMI. the keyboard does exhibit some higher than normal flex and the keys have thin gaps so the feel is not as good as std keyboards. the keyboard is not lit which would have been nice but...

Let me start by saying that I went out of my way (and pocket) to buy this computer. Its specs were just awesome. It seemed a bit more expensive than the competition but I decided to go for ASUS QUALITY. What a mistake that was

Creating AI-Recovery DVDs wasted about 15 DVDs for me as the process would get stuck at one or the other point ; The unit had its first BSOD within 2 days of light use, and more of them kept on happening intermittently. The machine rarely ever...

Very fast laptop once I put in additional 8gb of crucial memory from newegg. Only thing slowing this down is the hard drive. Only thing lacking is the hard drive is the slowest part of this machine now. I use this for my business as well as gaming. So...

Placement of memory, having to darn near take the whole thing apart to change out the two sticks of memory in the bottom is very irritating. You can get to one of the 3 slots if you take off the keyboard though. The keyboard is a bit squishy. I am...

Fast when it worked. Good video card, superhigh speed USB 3.0. great speakers

only worked for about a week. Then I started having problems. None of the USB ports recognized hardware. Programs began to crash, each and everytime I connected and external device notebook would have to search for the drivers.....even though they were...

Fit and finish... real metal casing on the top, pretty lightweight for a 17.3" screen. Sound quality is phenomenal, very easy to open the lid, extremely fast processor, little switch to physically "cover" the webcam, also a real WiFi switch, great...

It's really difficult to get to the expansion bays (for hard drives, memory and wifi). You need to remove the keyboard and then 6 screws before the lower panel pops off. There is a DIMM slot under the keyboard (it does support 12GB of DDR3) and an...
