I really like the backlit keyboard, always a nice implementation. And I also like that they did something I've never seen before - the added subwoofer to already good speaker system for a laptop :)

The IPS screen! Most manufacturers neglect this aspect of the notebook and put ips screens only in highend workstations. I hope more manufacturers follow the example of Asus because it makes a HUGE difference, once you use IPS screen, you won't use anything other.

NO! It's art, it's colonialism and you'll never get it!

Tbh I love that it has a dedicated graphics card, as my current laptop only has integrated graphics so I can't game on it. I also love the other really powerful specs!!! :D

I like this laptop because of it's i7 (Not many smaller laptops have it) and because of the 7200RPM HDD (Most laptops have 5400RPM).

I love that it has such a long battery life for a gaming notebook, and the aluminium case is also very nice.

THe long battery is amazing.

My laptop battery lasts 20 minutes while browsing , and don't even consider gaming on it ...

Exept for that , It would be great if you included some benches in your notebook reviews :)

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

I seen one of these in person, and boy is it a slick looking thing! I just don't know about the stains though. Would have liked to see some other sort of meterail. The thing about laptops is they are public, and portable, so would have liked to see more of a long term finish.
