ASUS are a nice brand, ive had several and they hold up good.. Smile

If you're going to invest in a decent laptop, the only thing i would suggest is to get a laptop that will display full HD 1080p resolution, and has a decent graphics card.. If the laptop doesn't already support 1080p i'd give it a miss, most do these days. Other than that those specs look ok, but i doubt you'll be running games at max fps or anything.

Thanks guys, here's an Update:

After finding out it had the best benchmark in the EU market I decide to bought it.

Well couldn't be more happy, I dont remember having such a high quality laptop... Everything feels great even the keyboard is just amazing.

I am very happy with the performance, it boots Windows so fast that I havent felt the need to install Linux yet (Cant imagine how fast it would be wih it). The 7200rpm HDD is very fast not to meantion the SSD that is super fast.

I am also very happy with gamming, Assassins Creed IV runs better than on the Xbox 360 and in full 1080p.

Very Happy

That's cool! nice specs there! Smile

I think Asus is a decent brand. I stay away from Acer because they fall a part . Well compared to my Dells and Asus. Loving my Asus graphics cards. Only problem is one died on me so no more SLI for me. Crying or Very sad
