u have every thing in it ...from a graphic card to , usb 3 support to , altec lansing speakers ,, to HDMI port .. . it should be good even for the upcoming operating systems ...nni liked the aluminium finish of it ...it really gives a premium look and also less wear n tear ...the maroon colour is impresssive and not red like wat is shown ...and the blue shade is jus too strong for the eyes .nn..the touch pad feels soft and has chiral motion scroll ...nn..the initial default drivers loaded with windows 7 are not appropriate for this laptop ..so b sure to run the drivers CD provided ....and also run the asus live update .... the latest drivers are automatically installed .... only then u can see the full funtionality.nn...another important factor i wud recommend is ..load a 64 bit windows 7 which is faster than a 32bit ... if there are any compatibility issues ..there is something called ''troubleshoot compatibility'' on right click ..so system can set the required settings to make any older program accessible... so no issues on that.nnenjoy folks !!
I was using Dell XPS 15 for a month, i bought this laptop bcoz i need one for rough use... But actually this lap is superb... it handles most of the softwares and highend games smoothly.. games like NFS Run can be played at high detail without any lag. The battery backup is also great 3+ hrs in normal use... if you are planning for a lap at 30k then its a must buy..
