I actually enjoy the specs. I dont like staying in the same place all the time at my house and often find myself doing something else away from my desktop on my phone just because the enviroment bored me. The specs seem perfect for someone like me who only plays games like WoW or LoL. My current dektop is an all in one toshiba that constantly freezes and has an integrated graphics card which is just plain awful. Anyways, congratulations on anyone who wins.

My favourite thing is the IPS display. I have a TN monitor at home and it really is only good for gaming.

The quiet dual fan intakes are a great feature for the unit as there is nothing more annoying that a gaming laptop that sounds like a jet engine taking off when under a heavy load. given that in its class the Razer blade has too little cooling and the Alienware is too bulky due to its cooling set-up, this unit it well thought out as a decent cooling system is so often overlooked or overdone for something so important

That is an amazing black matte finish though.

The gorgeous design from ASUS over competition like the MSI GE60.

I love the fact it has a 1080p IPS display. My current laptop has a TN panel and I have to keep adjusting the angle of the screen to find the best picture, which gets really annoying.

Automagically switching from using the CPU to using the GPU to save power is a great feature.
