Beyond any applicable Newegg return policy, this item is warranted independently by the product's Manufacturer. Below is a summary provided for convenience only and may not be accurate or current.

Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (parts): 3 years
Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (labor): 3 years
Pros: Very good specifications. Appealing design. Keyboard layout. Performance. Very quiet.
Cons: I received my brand new 1K+ laptop with a DEAD PIXEL (Dark Dot). This supposedly is an acceptable defect according to the LCD warranty of Asus (and many others of course). No "free windows 7" upgrade path to 64-bit. However, it seems that 64-bit drivers are now available on Asus' support web site? No backlit keyboard.
Other Thoughts: UPS shipping was a complete disaster. I had to go three (3) times to the facility which is a 40 minutes drive and they completely lost the package.
The facility manager had to locate it himself manually and to deliver it directly to me, to compensate for 2 mistakes they made.
So that's it for me with UPS. WIll not buy again from Newegg unless they offer another shipping option.
I've had mixed results with asus motherboards in the past and their laptops are highly rated so I thought I'd give them a try.
Overall I like the laptop a lot, except for the DEAD PIXEL part of course which put a negative spin on this expensive purchase.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: -Great graphics card. GDDR3
-Awesome price, I feel it's a good deal.
-Runs really smooth with W7 64x
Cons: -Weak Sound/Speakers:
I changed the settings in BIOS from 4 to 8 (the max) and my old Compaq Presario V2000 (bought new 4 years ago in 2005) was still at least 3 maybe 4 times louder (seriously...)
So yea, just bad speakers, it's pretty weak, and it's positioned just above the keyboard. That was disappointing.
Other Thoughts: -I installed windows 7 64 bit right away, no problems with the drivers, they were installed with the updates :)
-I had no problems with the keyboard.
-I didn't really see any problems aesthetically with the finger prints. The only places where they were somewhat noticeable was the left/right mouse buttons and Volume Changer (which is touch). But even then nothing I would complain about, really.
-um...I ordered it on Saturday and got it on Tuesday (just like the other reviewer!)
So yea, aside from the volume/speakers this laptop's good. I guess I'll just plug in some other speakers.
