Everything I hoped it would be.

I have had this laptop now for about 3 months but I have had my eye on these asus laptops for a few years now. My wife allowed me to pull the plug and I could not be happier. It is EXACTLY what I wanted and perhaps more. I purchased this rascal for games like Star Wars the Old Republic, Guild Wars 2 and it plays both games on max (minus v-sync)beautifully. It maxes Torchlight 2, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. My only 2 issues with the laptop are out of the box the bottom part of the screen had to be snapped back into place and like everyone else who writes a review, the keys sometimes do not register but it seems to be getting better over time. So far in this review I have had zero keys not register. It is quiet and heat free. Beautiful design and feel to it. I love the backlit keyboard. I am very pleased with this product.

Excellent deal on a powerful machine

This is one of the best deals on a gaming machine you can find. I'm very happy with the purchase - my only quibble is the sound on the G75VW isn't the best. Otherwise, this machine flies on all the latest games (Skyrim, DIshonored, Max Payne 3, etc.), it looks great and it's comfortable to use thanks to its soft touch plastic palm rest. Highly recommended.

Great Machine!

This machine is hands down the most powerful computer I have ever owned - so far it has taken everything I have put it through, all the while remaining very cool, something my previous machine could not do. All this does come with the price of size - this machine is very large, limiting it's portability; however, considering that this was not the main factor when deciding to buy this machine, it is not much of a con. Upgrading to Windows 8 was relatively painless (although there seems to be several Windows 8 drivers offered through the ASUS website that do not seem to be completely necessary). The bag that it comes with is a little small, but holds the computer and power adapter very nicely (but don't expect it to hold much more than that). Speaking of the power adapter, this is very large as well - it's almost twice the size of what I consider to be a 'normal adapter'. Other than that, the machine works very well, and I hope it will last me a couple years.

Great laptop

Love every aspect of this laptop except the battery life could be longer.
