****EDIT: I've been having a big problem with the sound card, the microphone port has an unbearable amount of static coming from it, which means the plug is bad. I made sure it was the plug, and sent it to ASUS to repair it. They updated the drivers and sent it back. I sent it in again, making sure to point out the problem with the specific port, but they still didn't replace it (they did replace some other things though, like the screen that I scratched, which is nice, I guess.) My one piece of advice here is that if you need this laptop fixed, in the letter they ask you to put in with the laptop when you ship it to them, be very, very, VERY specific about what you need fixed! I'm assuming this faulty card is a fluke, since no one else has complained yet, so I'm knocking the review down to 4 stars for customer support issues, because I fixed my sound card problem with one of these: Creative ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook-70SB071000000 ****
The only cons are battery life, lag when it's unplugged, and the product picture is not what the design truly is. The battery lasts about 2 hours and 15 minutes on battery saving, but that's only 30 minutes less than my old laptop, which had a 12 cell battery that stuck out so far you could use it as a handle to carry it around with. I noticed that when I unplugged my laptop from the wall while playing a high-graphics game, the game tends to drop frames (gameplay becomes choppy,) and goes back to normal when I plug it back in, which might just be a setting I forgot to change when editing the high performance battery plans (because the laptop doesn't go to battery saver when I unplug it, which is the first thing everyone asks,) but you never know.
Heat isn't a problem for me, because I bought a cooling pad with this (make sure to get a 17" pad, I bought a 15" by accident, and it looks comically small under this beast of a laptop, but it still works.)
As for the design, it looks like this: <...> It looks neat (a black and grey vaguely camouflage design, in case the link breaks,) and still lights up and everything. It isn't any better or worse than the pictured design.

I have been able to play all these games on ALL HIGH SETTINGS. I get about 45-60 Fps while playing. Even during intense battles where I'm really using the GPU and CPU pretty harshly, It plays cool, and still maintains AT LEAST 45 fps.
Pros - VERY good buy, it is the best laptop for this price. I have been looking for a LONG time for something that had a least a tri core CPU running at least 2.2ghz, and a dedicated graphics with at least 512mb dedicated to the GPU. After benchmarking the parts inside this laptop I found that the GPU(graphics processing unit) was in the top tier. There are 3 tiers, tier 1 is the best out there were tier 3 is low end crappy. The CPU, and GPU both scored well on the benchmarks in tier 1. Other people have said that they want more FPS(frames Per Second) out of this laptop. The only way for that to happen is for it to have 2 graphics cards. believe me, 60fps is good, and that's about the most you will get with almost ALL single graphics cards. the processor is very good as well. Its a duel core, running 2.27ghz, but can easily be overclocked to 2.54ghz from inside windows. Asus made a program that you can launch from within windows that makes it easy to overclock your CPU, just as easy as setting the battery to high performance. The other thing is that the CPU also has 4 threads, witch makes it run like a quad core, ex. That's like partitioning your hard drive into 4 partitions! its one hard drive but you have 4 storage areas now. It is a true LED wide screen display, so the rez might not be 1080p but it still looks GREAT. The key board is a chiclet style, all that means is that they buttons are a little smaller and have more space in between them. If you have ever used a mac book pro, its just like that. NOT HARD to get used to at all. within minutes I was typing at normal speeds with it. 4g's of DDR3(GOOD, but can be upgrade to 8g's, witch is GREAT). Hard drive isn't bad, 7200rpm means quick launching and WAY less time in loading screens, plus 500gb of storage isn't bad either. would like 1t but ehhh, now I'm just being picky. (cough) 500gb SSHD/Flash Storage would be nice (cough). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I already know that would jack up the price a grand or two though. . . . any way
CONS - HEAT. . . This thing tends to get a little hot while playing these games with all HIGH setting. I invested $32. on a laptop cooling tray. BELIEVE me, it is worth the investment. It keeps the laptop from overheating and the one i got sits it at an angle witch makes it just that much easier to use. BUY a MICROFIBER CLOTH rag, this thing doesn't attract much dust but the oil from your hands and fingers dose stand out and creates smudges. Plus its always good to keep your com clean ;)
other then that this thing has had NO PROBLEMS, Ive had it for 1month and a week. so far so good. not to much bloat ware, wasn't damaged at all when it arrived and runs like a CHAMP. It replaced my desktop as my main computer and like I said is the BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. I looked at Newegg.com for the same laptop, and a few other places, It cost a little more els where, and the ones they had were NOT factory refurbished. Believe me that is a big enough deal, You don't want something sent back to the retailer who just wants it sold. the factory/company that sells it will take the time to make sure that it is fully functional and is LIKE new, they will even replace parts with BRAND NEW ones because they already have them.
In short. . best laptop at this price. really good CPU/GPU. Runs like a Champ. CAN replace your desktop. HEATS up, buy a cooling tray. you will not be disappointed with your purchase.
After I received this in the mail, First thing I noticed is that the battery doesn't work. It kept on showing 26 percent and charging even after I left it over night to charge. And the moment I unplug the power cord, the 26 percent doesn't even support even a second of the life of the pc. So faulty battery is a huge frustration for me and I don't want to return it since I have already installed many programs on here.
Another frustration I have about this laptop is that the "period" key is broken. You can still use it but the one I received would come off until I push it back in.
However, if you get a decent one, the power of this laptop is definitely one of the best I have ever seen. 4 gigs of ram lets me run windows live mail, firefox, word, antivirus, and full screen game all at the same time without any lag. And the processor is fast enough you don't even need to overclock it. The gpu is on the high end of the spectrum with 1 gig of dedicated memory so you don't have to lend you DDR memory for graphics. And that's why I still left 2 starts for this item.
If you are thinking about buying this laptop, just be prepare to send it back if you get these faulty batteries or broken key board. I don't know how are the laptops other customers have gotten but the one I got is not worth the 800 dollars.
