ASUS - G2K

17-inch WXGA screen, good performance, good graphics (ATI Radeon HD2600), HDMI port, E-SATA port

Small directional keys, large, heavy, expensive

I bought an opened box version and non "A1". Very good speed. Vista 64 runs on this with no problems. Good graphics card. I love the huge bag and mouse that came with it. Huge resolution - 1920x1200

Not a real fan of glossy screens - it would be nice if it was non-glare. keyboard had room for a 10 key if they just moved the speakers. One memory bank was in the back and the other is under the keyboard! Took me a while to find this from the...

Vista premium license on laptop will work with oem 64 bit vista home premium. Microsoft media center remote control will work with the built in IR receiver without additional software or drivers

Had random crashes until clean install of vista 64 bit

I love everything about this laptop. I havent upgraded anything yet on this laptop but it takes everything I throw at it

It will not run battlefield 2142 it eather will crash with the digital version or not run the cd version at all of course it wasnt made to work with vista but o well

There's a constant annoying fan noise, not to high but im a little annoyed by hearing it all the time. Not the best fps on newer games like bioshock or crysis, but they are playable. VISTA VISTA VISTA, Its really hard to find all the windows xp drivers

After upgrading to 3Gb memory, vista's performance improved measurably. After reading about vista 64bit, I purchased it along with the extra 1Gb of memory...and have to admit that now along with 4Gb of memory...I am very pleased and am getting used to...

As purchased, took forever to initally load. Didn't like the lag time for everything. Wiped the harddrive, tried to install winxp 64bit, but couldn't find all the drivers. Went back to vista

Nice bright high res screen. Great video, sound, communication options and my all time favorite HDMI. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this rig and if you get the rebate the price is not just sweet, it's smoking. Best bang for buck I could find...

Power cord gets in the way of the optical drive tray. Heavy. Wasn't free with purchase of the Logitech mouse instead of the other way around

Where to begin, Beautiful Screen, Great hardware specs, eSATA port that is also a USB port, 5 usable USB ports, HDMI output, Looks Great, Drivers for XP are available on the Asus website - Don't look for them via the laptop entry, instead search the...

Vista. BSOD with in 20 min of first power on AFTER the 3 plus hours of updates. Asus tech support saying it doesn't support XP on this unit, but with some arm bending and pleading on the phone he showed me how to look for the drivers properly. Heavy...

Just a note: I'm doing this review of the laptop as it is, no re-downloading anything, no hacking the system to make it better, nothing - straight out of the box review as most average users who get this will encounter ; First of all, the price on this...

From out of the box, spending a grand and more on a laptop you should not have to take hours of backdoors going around the net to get this thing working to its full potential. That is unacceptable in my book. but for this value it is worth the extra...
