I recommend ninite. com to get all your programs installed

I've played on this system all weekend and wanted to share my thoughts. This has everything you need included in the package. It's ready to go out of the box with just a few sign ins at set ups. I recommend ninite.com to get all your programs installed. I used this to play World of Warcraft.Display:The 15 inch display is great. I noticed myself adjusting it a lot for light interference from my windows, but I think that's normal for any laptop. it feels much larger. The picture is crystal clear.Graphics:This runs the newest WOW content on the highest settings with no hiccups. I use all the spell effects and everything and the only issue I had was server lag. The laptop keeps up remarkably. It's even better on a step down from Ultra settings.Sound:This has some of the best speakers I've tried on a laptop. I enjoy listening to spotify while I raid, so that was a nice little upgrade. The mic works really well and apparently has ambient noise cancellation as well. No need for a hot headset!Hardware:It took a minute for me to get used to the keyboard since it is a little compact to fit in a full numpad. The power button is a key on the keyboard and my cat turned it off with that once or twice :/ I have not noticed any keypress issues and once I know where my fingers go it's perfect. The lighted keyboard feature is great and so are the extra lights on your WASD keys. Helps you find your place a little easier.The touchpad is responsive but I prefer to use a mouse. My razr installed immediately and works great.There is some bloatware on this but it doesn't affect performance and would be simple enough to remove.I am so pleased with this laptop and would highly recommend it for any gamer.

Great laptop for the price!

Excellent laptop, ASUS never disappoints. I plan to add a SSD to get even more speed out of it, but I have no complaints as it is with the 1tb 7200rpm HDD. The CPU and GPU are great and I can run all my programs smooth and with some at the highest settings.However, I do recommend getting a cooling pad as it runs a bit hot, but most laptops do. The palm rest is large and although it's a 15.6" laptop, it's almost the same overall size of my 17.3" laptop it is replacing, yet the screen itself is smaller.I can recommend this laptop as it's a great deal for the price, I only wish it came with a SSD.

Got it for $899, was totally worth it.

I got this laptop during Black Friday for $899, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with my score.But this laptop is exactly what I was looking for. Can handle Overwatch at top settings (100% scale resolution) at least 70+fps, and Valve's VR testing benchmark says this laptop is more than VR capable.I handles everything I throw at it, and got it at a good price. Whats not to like?Update 4/8/2017This is still going strong, and I've gotten a lot of compliments about this laptop. I've even been able to sneak it into some client meetings for note taking -- no one noticed it was a gaming laptop.

This review is from an amateur gamer. The laptop is a bit heavy. The large 15 inch screen has great graphics. The sound quality is good. We also use this laptop to access the internet. The processing speed is fast. Overall, very nice laptop.

It has the power of a decent gaming rig without the hassle.
