I am very disappointed with this laptop. I have owned it for about 8 months and have only used it around 8–10 times. Despite such light use, the display suddenly developed a serious problem and stopped working properly. For a laptop at this price point, I did not expect to experience a major hardware issue after so little use. I am currently having it repaired under warranty, but this experience has made me concerned about its long-term reliability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an old Alienware R17 Much needed upgrade. Beautiful screen, silky smooth refresh rate, has been able to play anything I throw at it.
I’ve been very impressed with the capabilities of two ASUS 18” gaming laptops. Smooth performance, virtually trouble-free. I’d highly recommend this gaming laptop for the average home-gamer.
ASUS really screwed up with this laptop. The keyboard symbols on the number keys are absolutely unreadable even when the backlight is set to white. Great performance but have a magnifying glass handy if you use those keys. I have good eyesight and do use those keys.
Great for gaming and the features are fantastic, love the light up keyboard, large screen and the ease of accessing the features that I need on my laptop.
