I edit on Vegas Pro 11 and the inclusion of CUDA in the software allows a laptop to keep up with my 3.8Ghz i7 desktop editing ACVHD.

ASUS has not made it very easy to upgrade the RAM.

If you want to upgrade all the RAM to higher spec, it is a bit more work.

It's fast, the keyboard is ergonomical, the lighting on it is awesome too, battery life is more than I expected for a laptop with these specs (more than three hours)!

I would recommend charging the battery to 90% taking it off and storing it in a cool place and use with AC power if ur gonna use long hours at home like me.

The laptop itself was very nice, and most of the pro's that people mentioned were true, (powerful gaming experience, being practically silent, effectivly cooling itself down, etc.) but that didn't last long.

I am an old school gamer so graphics have never been my top priority, just mandatory.

Screen

What I love about the ASUS line is that they are not full of colorful trim, chrome and flashing lights.

When I contacted ASUS they politely told me that 3D was an "option" and only comes with the G53SX-3D model.

Keyboard

I use an external monitor and keyboard/mouse so I really can't comment on the keyboard other than it's about average.

the lighted keyboard is very nice, there are also arrows on the WASD keys, and a little jumping dude on the spacebar.
