This laptop comes in a modern design box. Where this is a consumer laptop, you see this in the design of the box, laptop and site. My personal preference is for a more minimalist look as you often see in the business notebooks from HP. But given the fact that I could buy this laptop at a reasonable price, I fancy it'''' appearance taken for granted. After unpacking the box, the first thing that strikes the gloss black metallic shaped lid of the laptop and the SonicMaster external subwoofer. The looks on the outside is very luxurious styled high glass black and stainless steel on the side gives a solid impression. After opening the screen, I am talking about the outward solidity. Less The keys are painted aluminum color and feel somewhat cheap in there, next is the part where the wrist rest (besides the touchpad) susceptible to scratching, I had my watch for and when first used there were unfortunately immediately scratch. In addition, there is a relatively large adapter in the system, which is of course to be expected in these specifications. Upon system startup noticed immediately that the 5400rpm drive tremendously slows down the system, the system is continuously waiting for information from the hard disk. With me is also the impression that this laptop is put at a relatively low price with high specs with regard to CPU GPU and the like, in the market, but that cuts to the (currently) expensive SSD drives. After five minutes of work, I also immediately opened the laptop to check whether there is a second SATA slot was available for an extra hard drive. This expression is indeed the case, so then ordered an immediate SSD drive I chose the Crucial M4 128GB. This disc is working with this system, a world of difference! Definitely a must if you choose this laptop, purchase a SSD. After I installed the SSD, I opted to install Windows 7. clean Remember to advance the recovery DVDs you will need it if you need to claim warranty ASUS claim. To create these recovery DVDs you must unfortunately take time, you have the way needed. 5 DVD Asus delivers a variety of applications with one of the most useful is maintenance on which the system is in sleep mode and then start in ca 2 seconds, very convenient. In any case, the startup time very shortly after the SSD drive is inserted, Windows 7 startup takes a mere 20 seconds! The Sonic Master subwoofer is a nice addition to the system, the sound is much improved, but in practice it is of course not really convenient to take it. separate module with Same time, the internal speakers no bass again, so if the subwoofer is not connected, the sound is very thin. About the picture quality, I am very satisfied, the screen shows colors very nice weather, in addition to the fine sheet screen so you or work. well in the sun , the battery has to be heavy which makes sense with the big screen and processor power. On average, you get two hours weeks in normal applications. The connection of the adapter is on the right, personally I think the rear more practical, in addition, you can use the adapter plug is not fully insert, giving the impression that the plug is not fully inserted correctly. despite the fancy appearance feels the laptop anyway firmly, except the keyboard. Typing takes some getting used to because the keys are relatively close to each other, this is due to the number pad on the right and the indicator LEDs on the left side of the screen. In addition, you can hear when you press the mouse button a good buy'' click''. Altogether this is a very very fast laptop for the price that ASUS is asking for, but do yourself a big favor and an SSD drive. Without this additional investment, I am talking about the overall performance. Less
