**. The CPU fan in stopped functioning, and I didn't notice while playing age of empires, (because you only really use the mouse) and the fan is usually so quiet, but once I touched the keyboard it was scorching, and I saw my temperatures as over 100 degrees Celsius, and immediately powered off.

	Rated 84% by 4 users at amazon.com I wanted the ASUS N53SM-ES71, but the title is a whole other ASUS series, but with the specs of the one I want. Rated 100% by by A.-Campeau I have now sent in an RMA form online and will wait another 48 hours until I receive a new set of instructions, and the tech support was very helpful, offering either online or over the phone sending of RMA form. Rated 60% by by Ashot (Mar, 2012) Some people will call it bloatware, but it does come with a lot of useful different kinds of software like pdf readers, camera apps, an equalizer, and other useful software.

Keyboard

The keyboard pushes into the laptop when pressed, the track pad is a friction filled surface, making fingers uncomfortable when using it, as well as the track pad clickers are flimsy and give off a very cheap feel.
