It worked well for the short amount of time that it worked

Laptop was purchased in May of 2013 on the strength of the ASUS name and positive reviews. A little over a year later and it won't even turn on. I took it for repair and was told the motherboard was shot. According to the repair shop this is a common...

Horrible

 

I have worked with ASUS to no avail...updated the driver , refreshed the system. The cursor jumps when nothing but the keys have been touched. Sometimes entire paragraphs have been deleted. This has gone on long enough for the unit to be out of...

The negative is so overwhelming that it trumps anything positive

Quality computer for those serious about their portable system

 

This computer is great! It has a nice feel, stylish look, and decent sound that's pretty loud. The cooling system is fantastic and quiet. I can only tell if the fans are running by putting my hand in front of the vents. The system is fast and reliable....

Nice feel ; Stylish look ; Decent quality, loud sound ; Very efficient, very quiet cooling system ; System is fast and renders graphics quite well ; Good amount of space on the drives

Asus refurb service formats the drives in a way that leads to unreasonable unallocated partitions

By far the best laptop I have ever owned

 

This baby is everything I dreamed it would be. Amazingly fast! I built my desktop a few years ago with very similar components, including an i7, and it was fast! After time goes by, computers slow down. The ASUS now outperforms my desktop which I...

ASUS Laptops are poor quality

 

Bought an ASUS ROG laptop...Had issues with over heating with thermal shutdown. RMA once, told me it was fixed, 3 months later I had the same problem. Tried to RMA again, was told warranty was expired. I had to pay a repair shop to get the problem...

Exactly what I needed, but not for everyone

 

This is a powerful gaming system, but it is heavy and bulky, and battery life is only about 3 hours in active use. Think of it as a folding all-in-one desktop rather than a notebook. I love it so far, but size and weight were not priorities for me.

very good laptop for the price

 

amazing laptop. so far hasnt been anything that i havent been able to run. the only con i have about this laptop is the resolution which is only 1600x900. no 1080p :( but besides that its really fast and is more than capable of running modern games.
