Stealth and Strength
Like its predecessor, the ASUS G74SX-XT1 Laptop Computer design was inspired by sharp polygonal shapes, but this time inspiration came from the US Navy’s Sea Shadow stealth ship and modern day aircraft carriers. Like the stealth ship, opponents will never know what hit ‘em, and like an aircraft carrier, the ASUS G74SX-XT1 Laptop Computer has the firepower to shock and awe the competition.

Get Comfy
Gaming is something to be enjoyed, so why not be more comfortable for extended gaming sessions? Fatigue will be a thing of the past, thanks to the ASUS G74SX-XT1 Laptop Computer’s 5-degree incline keyboard designed to provide a better ergonomic angle, as well as super comfortable rubber-like palm rests that’s easy on the palm and wrist. There’s also more space between the keyboard and number pad, so it more resembles a desktop keyboard.

Blow It Out the Rear
The harder you work, the more heat you generate. A computer is no different, and with the amount of power in the ASUS G74SX-XT1 Laptop Computer, some serious cooling is needed. A unique venting design pulls air from underneath the notebook, cooling the system down, then vents it through the rear, keeping hot air away from the user and reducing ambient noise for prolonged gaming.

Worth every penny!

I have had this laptop for about a year now and I have had zero issues. Drivers updates are always released when they are needed and there are very few issues you will have with this thing. The only reason I dinged performance is due to the harddrive being partitioned directly in half. I personally think it should also have an SSD come with it but I have no issue with buying one. I have yet to find a single thing this computer will not run or has issues running.

Best gaming and multi-media for the buck

My son uses his computer for school and gaming. This computer allows the fastest graphics and 'heavy' gaming programs while also allowing outstanding media manipulation. It is heavy, but mobile.

Great bang for your buck!

I'm extremely happy with this ASUS laptop computer with Intel i-7 processor. It runs super quiet, and handles all the software that I run on it with ease. The backlit keyboard is a great feature that makes typing in a dimly lit area a breeze. I definitly recommend this product to anyone who's looking for an upgrade to a more powerful computer.

BAMF Laptop

This Laptop is a beast. It can tackle whatever I throw at it with ease. Yes its big and weights a ton but that was to be expected. It runs extremely quiet with minimal heat being emitted. The only problem that I had was when I was typing the cursor would jump all over the place. That was fixed by adjusting some of the touch-pad settings. Overall I think this a sound purchase for the price with the hardware that you will get with it. You won't be disappointed if you commit to the purchase of this animal.
