Nice little bonus.

Brett D. Miller

The bad HDMI port, which, true, could happen on any machine, seemed as much a result of engineering as assembly problems, so I'm going to get something else.

Acontius

Contacted ASUS support and they do not want to take it into the warranty period and they are asking me 1000 USD to repair it.

Let me clear the confusion...

By Brett D. Miller on March 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

ASUS N71JQ-X1 17.3-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown)

The reviews prior to this one say what a great laptop this is but that it lacked a Blu-Ray player. The description must have been off when most people first ordered this, and I would be upset if I had thought I was getting blu-ray player, but didn't. That being said, and I knew what I was getting. Let me be clear; this is an AMAZING value for what you're getting...even without Blu-Ray. Think about it; you're getting an Intel Core i7 laptop, with a 1GB ATI discrete graphics card, 17 inch, high def screen, and a 500GB hard-drive...oh and 4GB of Kingston RAM...all for under $1200 (as of this writing)? Are you kidding me?

I love this laptop, and I was a lifelong HP guy, until my screen died after 2 years of use...the build quality on this is incredible, the screen is beautiful, and as for Blu-Ray...meh. Everything's going disc-less digital anyway. A few years from now, and everything will be download only anyway.

Don't let the other reviews fool you, this is THE value in laptops, from one of the most well-decorated manufacturers of the last few years. Check out some sites on the net, do your research, and I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion I did...this is the laptop to own.

Good luck and happy hunting.

ADDITIONAL INFO (Posted 3/22/2010) after using this laptop for the past few days, I can safely say that this was a great bargain. It's faster and more responsive than my previous HP that cost 3x as much. Also, it came with DDR3 1333 RAM instead of the advertised 1066. Nice little bonus. Point being, if you buy this laptop, I doubt you'd ever regret it.

Bad HDMI port and no full HI-Def...

By Acontius VINE VOICE on October 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

The HDMI port was loose and could not maintain a connection with my HDTV. (Yes, I did try other cables, all of which worked with other components.) I mean the port itself wiggled a bit---not the cable in the port. Typing anything or just touching the touchpad knocked out the connection to the TV.

If you look at how the port is placed, jammed under the ExpressCard slot, you will see that such a problem is not surprising. I didn't think about it before buying, though I did see a photo showing the layout.

Also, prospective buyers should note that, despite the ATI 5730's abilities, this laptop does not output 1080p to a TV---even with the latest ATI driver update.

I only had the computer about 36 hours, but I always test as much as I can as soon as I can. In most other aspects, I'd give this computer high ratings. The only longterm worry would be heat management, as there doesn't seem to be a lot of venting space for such a hot CPU. Reading reviews, I always though people were joking about keeping coffee warm by placing a cup next to the exhaust vent. Really works with this unit!

The keyboard is spongy in the center.

Now for the good:

One reviewer complained about the glare. Personally, I think it is less of a problem than on many units. Mine came with a protective sheet of what was either real glass or extremely hard plexiglass over the LCD screen, something that adds strength to the display and upper part of the unit. I liked it a lot.

Sound is very, very good. This includes the built in microphone! I actually got the Windows 7 Speech Recognition to work pretty well in just a couple of hours.

The webcam is ok with color and clarity.Read more ›

Watch out for this one

By D. Crouch on February 2, 2011

God help you if you should have to deal with customer service on a laptop. I purchased one of these and within 3 months was having lots of power supply/charging issues. Asus' response was to update the drivers, which were already up to date. So within 3 months of that, the computer literally fried and went up in smoke. Yes, it is under warranty, and the long warranty they offer is great. Unless you actually have to use it. It has been a full 28 days right now since Asus has been working on my laptop. I have spent hours on the phone with them trying to get a status. The concept of a supervisor doesn't exist there. They are more than happy to set the phone down for a half hour and come back later to see if you are still there. So my nearly new computer is still sitting in their repair facility almost a month later. So consider yourself warned. Take these reviews that mention the reliability and customer support to heart and save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

The screen is big and looks great. I will give it that much. But it means nothing when the entire machine goes up in smoke and the manufacturer doesn't even seem to know how to fix it. And no, they won't just ship a replacement.

Great Deal AND Great Brand PLUS Unique Features Rarely / Never Found!!!

By T. Chien on November 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

Owned 6 mos.

PROS:

1. $$$ (Hundreds less than competitor with similar features incl. features rarely found if not just plain unavailable elsewhere like #'s 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20). Don't even get me started about Apple's $'s. For all their gripes, is it REALLY worth paying 2-3x as much? As in, do you really get 2-3x longer lasting hardware and/or increase in speed / productivity?)
2. ASUS Brand (Not getting extra features at the cost of low-quality brand. May be not well known but not low quality. Like getting a Honda / Toyota before everyone knows about them.)
3. i7-720QM
4. 17.3"
5. 1600x900
6. 500 GB 7200 RPM
7. Multi-Touch Track Pad (Try finding this in an external PC track pad let alone built-in. Not as responsive as Apple's but good enough. Worth price of admission. Yet to need the Track Pad Buttons - for anything!)
8. Cool-Rest Palm Pad
9. Keypad
10. 2.0 MP WebCam
11. Face Recognition Log-In (Priceless Cool Factor)
12. USB 3.0
13. 802.11n and Bluetooth v2.1+EDR
14. ATI Graphics
15. Altec Lansing 3.5W
16. True Theater (up-converts DVD to 1080p)
17. On-Board Boot Image
18. 2 vs. 1 Year Hardware Warranty
19. 1 Year Single-Use Accidental Damage Warranty (Extends 2 Yrs if Registered w/in 60 Days of Purchase)
20. Express Gate (Fast <9 secs. Boot to Browser, Skype, Games, etc.)

Oh and I spilled half a water bottle on the keyboard and it's still tickin'!

CONS: (Don't be afraid of the #'s. They're pretty much nit-picky and in no way approach the significance of the PROS.)

1. Support Techs are idiots!Read more ›
