ASUS RoG G550JK Gaming Notebook & GIVEAWAY

As minor as it sounds I like that they gave 8gb in a single stick by default, considering my laptop (the Q550lf) shipped with 2 4gb sticks. I will have to buy 2 8gb sticks to upgrade to 16gb and that would be money saved if I got the G550.(granted the Q550 has touch and I got it for about $200 less than it would normally be.)

A man of charm with strange quarks.

Wasn't really expecting ASUS to throw in that subwoofer with the packet. Yeah, I like the audio performance. Imho it kinda pops out from the rest...

I am starting college now, away from home, so my favorite thing has to be the power of GPU and CPU for gaming and the HDD, that one has enough space for games and college work. No need to carry around an external one. And no need to mention it was the one of few that holds the world record

It's hard to really put a word on it, but I'd have to admit the whole build and marketing is really good. I feel like I'm buying into a complete idea than a product.

The best thing is the rockin' battery! ~3 hours general use is amazing, and the gaming capability is perfect when plugged in!

Oh snap, so many Giveaways lately, thanks! Favorit thing is probably the IPS screen, I never had one, nor could I afford one but damn, they look sexy.

Minimal signature, maximum performance.
