N75 Series N75SF by R.-Poole (Dec, 2011)Looks stylish, very bright/sharp monitor, huge touchpad that with one slide of the fingertip moves the cursor the whole length/width of the screen, sound is excellent with high volume potential, pretty light for its size, runs cool and speed of operation is fast.
N75 Series N75SF by antiraza (Aug, 2012)I love having a full keyboard with num-pad, because I can do a lot of shortcut key work using the num pad, but I do wish it could have had chicklet style keys (not possible with this screen size and also including a numpad, they did the best they could given the form factor).
screen resolution
N75 Series N75SF by K.H. (Jan, 2013)I keep hitting caps lock when reaching for "A", but that's a minor detail.
N75 Series N75SF by B.-Brockmeier (Jul, 2012)The display is really good too, nice and bright, 1920x1080.

N75 Series N75SF by B.-Brockmeier (Jul, 2012)The Intel Core i7 processor is an eight core CPU, which I have yet to tax.
N75 Series N75SF by K.H. (Jan, 2013)While researching, I was looking for a couple main things: primarily a powerful GPU, ample storage space, a fast HD, plenty of RAM, and a Core i7 CPU.
processor
N75 Series N75SF by K.H. (Jan, 2013)RAM: 8GB of RAM is more than enough to run even the most graphic-intensive or CPU demanding programs.

N75 Series N75SF by antiraza (Aug, 2012)I recently upgraded the machine to 16GB ram and it is now performing even better.
N75 Series N75SF by L.-Ramachandrappa (Feb, 2013)Simply a extra weight and keep crashing, 8bg RAM will be eaten by all junk applications could be windows issues.

Touchpad
ASUS N75 Series N75SF 17.3", 2.2 GHz, 8 GB, 750 GB SSD | Rated 20% by by Overquoted (Feb, 2012)There really wasn't anything I wasn't satisfied with aside from the touchpad.

ASUS N75 Series N75SF 17.3", 2.2 GHz, 8 GB, 750 GB SSD | Rated 100% by by K.H. (Jan, 2013)Most of it is very helpful, such as Nvidia Optimus technology, and other helpful programs.
ASUS N75 Series N75SF 17.3", 2.2 GHz, 8 GB, 750 GB SSD | Rated 80% by by B.-Brockmeier (Jul, 2012)I have got proper 3D Acceleration with IronHide (and previously BumbleBee), but actual nVidia support would be twice as fast, if not more.

Ports
ASUS N75 Series N75SF 17.3", 2.2 GHz, 8 GB, 750 GB SSD | Rated 80% by by B.-Brockmeier (Jul, 2012)However, I've noticed that those two ports don't always work, and it is random.
ASUS N75 Series N75SF 17.3", 2.2 GHz, 8 GB, 750 GB SSD | Rated 80% by by antiraza (Aug, 2012)USB charging when the machine is off, Instant On and battery management.
