I love the looks of it, it's beautiful and the screen viewing angles that are great for a laptop

The red backlit keyboard is pretty nice in this laptop.

For me, it's the cover, really.

And it would be free! :-)

The signatures on the back of this model are awesome (definitely my fav. part)
Other than that, The 1080p IPS Display is really good.

I love the build, it quite slim and the red and black design looks amazing!

My favourite thing in the JK is weird. I know it has a powerful processor, powerful gpu, etc etc...but i get really frustrated with laptop audio.

Maybe this solution is the best!! An external subwoofer is great, but Linus said in the video that the onboard audio is already better than a normal laptop.

Overall, great laptop. And i'm a fan of the audio solution

Everything seems great on this machine, but I have to say that the GPU is my favorite aspect. My processor is an i5-3300 3.0 Ghz, paired with a GT 610. It is not alright.

The fact you where playing doom on a mountain has to be the best feature of the laptop ... Or the signatures :)

So recently my laptop broke and it was a high performance one that overheated to temps over 90-100 on average. As a college student this leaves me in a pickle but this also makes my favorite thing about this laptop the fact that it maxes out at around 80 in a stress test. Also it comes with a subwolfer and from what linus says a really great sounds system and im a music nerd hue~

My favorite thing about the Asus G550 JK is the sound and speaker implementation.  Very impressive for a notebook.  And just in general, the overall look of the notebook is badass... as I tend to find true on most ROG themed products.

It seems like a very well balanced gaming and work notebook. Love the design and size of the laptop as well, thanks for the review.

It is miles better than my current portable computing solution, an ASUS f50 sf. Otherwise I would say the red bezel looks particularly nice.
