Review Summary

I had a 7 year old ASUS laptop that served me well until I dropped it the 3rd time, so I decided to stick with ASUS. I looked around, and this was the best deal going, plus the fact that with Adorama credit you automatically get 6 or 12 months same as cash, and free (fast) shipping. That sealed the deal for me. I have only just begun to use the computer, though everything about it seems flawless. I built a tower that is stupid fast, so wanted a laptop that would match its performance; suffice to say I am not disappointed. For me, 15.6" screen is the perfect size; easy enough to travel with, and I simply hook up my 27" monitor at home as I usually have several windows open at the same time. This laptop, with the Intel CPU, is the complete package, with the GTX 1060 being the icing on the cake. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!
