Headphone/audio jack also started buzzing.
- Pros: Great price for gaming performance.
- Cons: After less than two months any headphones/speakers plugged into the out audio/headphone jacks started buzzing, as another user reviewed. Oddly enough just the right speaker/headphone buzzes. But no matter what type of headphones/speakers are plugged in, it happens, and it's not a matter of them not being plugged in all the way. It is a painful, intolerable buzzing.
- Other Thoughts: PLEASE READ MY PRIOR REVIEW "Major Disappointment" below which goes into more detailed depth of more disappontments associated with this laptop.
nice.....
- Pros: really nice laptop, and exactly what I was looking for. Great build quality, HDMI output plugs right into my flat screen for an incredible second monitor, and the option to easily add a second hard drive. Super fast, great for gaming, decent speakers (which was a really pleasant surprise.) Keyboard is very solid and easy to type on and a separate number pad. The exhaust blows out a port on the left instead of frying your legs, etc..
- Cons: Not really cons...Know what you are buying: it is big, heavy and eats battery life. I got this as basically a desktop computer i could move around my house. If this was my only laptop and i was trying to haul this beast around town I would be really disappointed. Cord is kind of ridiculous, it is short and has a huge brick. I hate touch pads in general but that is just a personal preference.
- Other Thoughts: Could not be happier, absolute favorite of any computer i have ever bought or built. LOVE it!!!!
awesome machine
- Pros: Too many to list. Runs linux and XP just fine, but the OLED and HDMI don't work with XP.
- Cons: Fingerprints everywhere, and the default volume level is a bit low. That can be remedied in the BIOS setup. It'd also be nice if ASUS included a real Vista disc, instead of the restore disc that nukes your entire drive. Some of us run multiple operating systems here.
- Other Thoughts: To clarify one thing, since I wasn't sure about it when I bought it, this laptop is capable of having 2 drives in raid0 or 1, but only comes with one installed. All in all VERY worth the price.
