Best laptop i could find in the price range and with specs i wanted (quad core 17, 16gb ram, SSD, backlit keyboard,good cooling)
By Sunil Kumar Padmavathy on March 28, 2015
Style Name: 1TB 7200 rpm & 128GB SSD | IPS FHD Display Verified Purchase
After a very long research i had finalized between ASUS and "http://www.amazon.com/GE60-Apache-Pro-867-i7-4720HQ-Computer/dp/B00TUEP0Y8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1427549029&sr=1-1&keywords=MSI+GE60+Apache+Pro-867+15.6%22+i7-4720HQ+16GB+120GB+SSD+%2B+1TB+7200rpm+HDD+NVIDIA+GTX+960M+2GB+Full+HD+Windows+8.1+Gaming+Laptop+Computer" MSI laptop. The specs were exactly the same. I chose Asus over upgraded version of msi, because i liked the design and also i felt the cooling technology is better in Asus. I received this laptop yesterday and i am very happy. I wanted to get a very good configuration laptop at a reasonable price. Within two days of placing the order, the price has dropped by around 23$. It is definitely worth it. I am running the laptop after detaching the battery :-) When i ordered this laptop, there was only one review and it was hard to make a decision. But now, after i see many more 5 stars i feel my decision was right. I also received a nice gaming mouse. Though i prefer sleek mouse over a large one, still i liked it. I am not a game enthusiast, all i wanted was a quad core laptop i7, with 16gb ram ,SSD, backlit keyboard and good cooling. This is the best i could find within the price range.

update (4/1/2015) Attached the mouse pics. The volume of the speaker is very nice. I really liked the trackpad
some very minor things which i didnt like:
There is no dedicated End button (had to use shift+ num 1 key in the num pad)
Finger prints :-( right from the day i opened the laptop, finger print was clearly visible.
The keyboard light doesnt come up unless we login. I have seen some posts regarding this in the internet.Read more ›

Severe inherent flaws. Do your research.
By RJ on July 2, 2015
Style Name: 1TB 7200 rpm & 128GB SSD | IPS FHD Display
I really wanted to like this laptop. It's my first real gaming notebook in over 5 years. My old Dell is still ticking, but can't handle many of today's games. The specs on this ASUS ROG are truly impressive, all in a relatively small and light package. I purchased the SSD/IPS version, so boot times were blazing fast. I wasn't too thrilled about the fact that they've installed a Kingston SSD and not a Samsung EVO SSD. As the Kingstons are really prone to failure, I planned on switching it out in the near future. Anyway, first impressions were great. It ran fast, boot times were low, and it handled some graphically intensive games at high settings, all while remaining surprisingly cool.

2 weeks in is where the problems began to crop up. I got the dreaded blue screen with "Driver Power State Failure" while trying to load a YouTube video. I hit the ASUS forums for some help, and it turns out almost 90% of the previous generation of this exact laptop is suffering from the same problem! That was a little disheartening. After a few days, the blue screens started occurring every few hours. I tried every fix out there to no avail. I was considering returning the laptop but thought I would wait a few days to see if the issue went away. A week after that, the computer was dead. It would get stuck on a continuous BIOS loop. Game over. It was time to send this laptop back.
Although I was disappointed, I also felt a little sense of relief since these problems occurred within the 30 days return window, and not after. I thought I'd share with you some of the other issues I read about on the ASUS forums that seem to be plaguing this laptop model.Read more ›

Incredibly quiet and cool
By Ryan L. Kopf on April 7, 2015
Style Name: 1TB 7200 rpm & 128GB SSD | IPS FHD Display Verified Purchase
Bought this when it only had 8 reviews and I'm very pleased with it. The Core i7 runs blazing fast, and it's biggest advantage to me is the heat-to-power ratio. It doesn't get as incredibly hot as some other systems I've used.

Notes:
* SSD version has all the OS on SSD and starts up fast. First ever restart took 45 seconds (after I installed the 3 things I didn't want including McAfee, and WebStorage)
* Hard disk (1TB) pre-separated into two partitions
* Not a touchscreen, but most touchscreens I've seen don't have the same quality.
* Perfect viewing from any angle, even from the extreme sides
* Keyboard includes small bump on "W" so you don't lose finger placement during online WASD games
* Comes with a few pre-installed apps that I removed, including TripAdvisor, Netflix, Games - you might keep Netflix, but I use Amazon Prime instead. Interestingly also come with LINE - most popular messenger in Japan - which is weird, because I've almost never seen it used in America
* Price to value is incredible, I haven't found a better deal on Amazon yet. Get the SSD version.
* Incredibly quiet and cool during web browsing and simple stuff

Excellent and affordable gaming computer!
By JB11 on March 21, 2015
Style Name: 1TB 7200 rpm | FHD Display Verified Purchase
Excellent and affordable gaming computer!

One tip on swapping out the harddrive for an SSD: You will have to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 to do this. Your CD key is embedded on the laptop's motherboard, so all you do is burn a Windows 8.1 install DVD (off the internet), put the CD in, reboot the laptop, and install WIndows 8.1 fresh.
