Comment on ASUS Republic of Gamers G74SX-DH71 Full HD 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop (Black) by Bryan.
Awesome Laptop for the Price,
I don’t know how I could have gotten a better laptop even if I had spent more money.
Graphics: Awesome
Screen/Video: Awesome
Keyboard: Excellent (takes some getting used to)
Fan Exhaust: Excellent (blows out the back not down)
Mouse: Excellent
Startup: Excellent
I am extremely pleased this computer. The screen is huge and the processing power is perfect. I play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with maximized graphics. I’m unsure of the FPS because I’ve never felt the need to check. It plays so smooth. I do restart the computer after about 6 hours of playing. I did have one issue with the cursor twitching but the restart fixed it.
Startup is very fast. Windows 7 takes about 30 seconds from hitting the power button to having all startup programs finished.
Keyboard is excellent. The keys need to be pushed slightly harder than I’m used to but that may be due to my hand position. The mouse that comes with it is responsive and I have no complaints. I really like the fan exhaust design. The heat blows out the back of the laptop not the bottom. The styling is cool and I also like the rubberized finish. As stated in other reviews, it does not smudge easily like glossy laptops. Although it does smudge but I haven’t tried to clean it yet, I’m sure a damp towel will take care of it.
I travel with it a lot and the backpack that came with it is great. It is a brick to carry around if you worry about that sort of thing.
The touch pad was very sensitive but I just turned it off when a mouse is plugged in. I have not tried the Wifi yet. I haven’t tried the BlueRay player yet.
