Ok, so I've been using this product for a couple of days now, and here are my experiences:
First of all, in the picture, the computer looks light black. It is actually a very good looking deep shade of black. The screen look AMAZING, as you can hopefully tell by the pictures, and when you press the keys, they push down perfectly deep, unlike the newer macbooks. Literally, trust me when I say that the keyboard on this laptop is a pleasure to type on.
The touchpad feels great and is extremely responsive. use one finger to move the mouse, two to scroll, and three to see all open windows currently open.
I was thinking that the 5400 rpm hard drive would be slow, but its actually really fast, and super quiet. I have not noticed hardly any sound from the hard drive, at all, ever. It takes about a one minute to boot after a complete shut down, but only about 10-15 seconds when waking up. Luckily, the hard drive does not come with a thousand tons of bloatware, it only comes with a mcafee virus protection trial, dropbox, evernote, and asus webstorage. Most of these products actually come in handy, and can be removed if you want.
So far, the battery life has been exceptional. I'm getting about 5-6 hrs when gaming (Minecraft), and about 7-8 hours when browsing, doing school work, writing this review, etc. and I've found the backlighting on the keyboard to be absolutely stunning. You just can't show it's true beauty in a picture, just buy it for yourself to experience it.
The Asus ROG logo on he back lights up, which looks pretty nice, and the polished aluminum cover looks and feels like a premium laptop. It also comes with one 8gb ram stick, leaving the other slot open to put in another stick.Read more ›

The construction of this laptop is brushed metal and plastic. It seems very well constructed and very modern. After opening this I immediately replaced the 5400RPM HDD to a PNY 240GB SSD. The biggest issue when upgrading: the laptop has no product key on the bottom for Windows 10. However, there are recovery/backup tools you can use, or there are tools to see your product key. For a recovery you will likely require at least 33.5GB of space on an external/thumb drive. I used Macrium Reflect (freeware), but the downside was I lost the recovery partition (not necessary, so I created a recovery image to store elsewhere after the swap). There is a panel on the bottom that can be opened by removing two screws, then sliding the cover off. Doing this will expose the HDD, ram, and Wi-Fi card. The HDD is in a caddy, held down by three screws, then four more holding the drive into the caddy. Only one of the two ram slots is in use. The WASD keys all have a red rim to make them easier to identify, and the keyboard is backlit (as well as the ROG logo on the lid). The power button is where the end key is on most keyboards, and leaves the only option for end key being fn+1. The sound is decent, nothing mind-blowing. The screen is exactly as expected for a 15.6 FHD (no UHD/4k).
Battery Life: Was determined without changing any power settings, and streaming video from my media server.
50% - 3 hours 5 minutes
10% - 4 hours 53 minutes
0% - 5 hours 19 minutes
Charge Time: While in use
100% - 2 hours 15 minutes
Without making any changes, the laptop will determine which GPU needs to be used at any given time. I have not seen any issues with this when gaming or otherwise. The only time I needed to manually select the GPU was to run a PassMark for this review.Read more ›
