Screen flicker is a major problem

By N/A (newegg.com) Read the full review

I called tech support and they were more than willing to take more of my money for a repair. I can't in good conscience keep buying from a company that does not make a product that lasts little more than the warranty covers.

Overall a good laptop

if you don't have the screen flicker problem like every one else

Asus K61IC-JX017V

By Jayesh Shinde (pcworld.in)

Want a good home multimedia entertainment laptop with a 16-inch screen and two years global warranty? Read on.

Nice bright screen ; Decent onboard audio ; Nice audio-visual experience ; Very good performance ; Two year warranty

Average keyboard ; Poor touchpad response ; Battery life

This 16-inch laptop from Asus is a good candidate for a home entertainment multimedia laptop. It has a very good screen and onboard audio combo. The laptop comes with two years global warranty. It has sub-par battery life and keyboard, though.
