Only issue was finding a suitable bag for carrying it around to school etc. I settled on the Everki Beacon and it's been great.

my son has had no problems with this laptop. He is a heavy gamer and does digital design. He picked it out for Christmas because no one else could ever please him to pick out a computer for him. He uses it for autocadd too.

I'm a software engineer and bought mine for software development. Although it's technically a "gamer" laptop, its performance is too good to pass up. It has an HDMI and VGA output for movies. I plug mine into my huge LCD tv and bought a rollerball wireless to control it from the couch. It's awesome! This thing was designed for high video and cpu use so...the sound and all just works from plugging in on HDMI cable to the TV. Even when running off the battery, I can get almost 3 moving off of one single charge. The low power consumption of this 3rd gen i7 is incredible. At work, I can go all day from the charged up status when I left the house in the morning. I highly recommend this laptop over many others.

Hi Gregory,I have had mine for several months now and have absolutely no issues with it. Battery life might not be as good as some would like (4 - 6 hours, depending upon specific use), but mine stays mostly plugged in, so it is really a non-issue for me. I use mine for work, have produced a few videos with it just to compare it with my desktop system, and use it in conjunction with Chromecast to watch high definition movies on my large screen TV. The 17" display on the laptop is very good at watching high definition movies from short distances. There may be better units out there, but I am not disappointed at all with this one.

I run it for basic usage, not for gaming. The scree is shiny to me. and I watch video on youtube, for my personal feeling, the screen is OK.The laptop's weak-point (for most Acer laptop), when you type the keyboard, sometimes the focus jump away.

Th laptop is fast runs fairly cool under full load considering its a laptop, never got concerned about the temp. Screen quality was fine too. All this considered i sent it back because the overall build quality felt very poor and it was just a lot bigger then i was willing to put up with.

Hi Wendy, Apologies for the slowness in response. The laptop is a good, inexpensive laptop for using basic services but not really a gaming laptop.

So far it has been a great laptop, I preferred Windows 7 and it was configured with this version. I had a HP laptop and this one seems solid, besides the HP motherboard died after about a year and a key broke. It's fast, I'm not a gamer so if this is your main hobby I have no idea what it will do.

No and no! This is definitely not a gaming laptop, it couldn't handle it. It's more of an everyday task type of computer. Mine is still doing great after a year!

It's a decent budget laptop, I upgraded mine with 8GB RAM and an SSD, running Windows 7 Ultimate. If it's just a cracked screen you can order one off eBay and replace it yourself, I had to replace mine and it was only about $40 IIRC.

Honestly, I've had nothing but issues since purchasing this laptop. I personally have not used it for video editing, but would not buy it for that specific purpose.

I have a good review of this laptop. It runs surprisingly fast with a 2nd generation processor and 8Gb Ram. Boot time from off is less than a minute. I use it 16 hours a day and never have issues with it.

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

I watch YouTube movies and videos and it does great. I just don't like Windows 8 with this computer but everything else is wonderful. The quality of the video's is great depending on your internet speed of course. I have high-speed cable internet. I would recommend this lap-top for movies however, you will probably need to watch the battery life. I get about 5 hours of battery life.

I have no problems with mine. In fact I have 3 Asus laptops (me and my two kids). This G75VW-DS73-3D is my daughter's and she has had it for 8 months. No problems with hers booting up. I hear others have the boot up problem like you do. None of mine have the problem, however, and they all work just fine. The other 2 I have are from the exact same family, the G75VW-AS71 and the G75VW-DS72.
