N55SF-EH71 by N.-Hebert (Apr, 2012)Its the small touches such as the medium grey marked keys, to the metallic ASUS logo etched into the metal bar below the screen that makes this laptop feel like its not pushing the brand in your face like many other makers but yet you know its an ASUS with a track record for reliability (in my experience with their motherboards).

N55SF-EH71 by N.-Hebert (Apr, 2012)The GT555m can do even better with just some slight overclocking but the computer itself performs remarkable and it has the specs I want to play just about any game on the market while not being a heavy 17" monster or a 15" oven.
