Graphics - excellent, doesn't struggle with the most demanding games. Sound - again excellent, good bass and overall volume Chassis - susrprisingly doesn't seem to scratch much or get covered in smears and fingerprints. I've had some envious comments about how good it looks, very "stealth fighter". Keyboard - responsive and well lit Storage - perfect, partitioned into 3 and plenty of it. Processor - handles anything with ease Fans (very important) - even while converting video, the two exhausts hardly make a sound. Very, very quiet indeed. Criticisms though - Battery - failed after only 6 months, has to remain plugged in. Only ever reached 87% charge out of the box. Weight - a hefty 5kg or thereabouts but then I knew that before purchasing. ASUS software - ASUS Update keeps popping up if I'm starting a game and, despite my best efforts, I've been unable to shut it down completely. Would I buy one of these again? Definitely. Way better than the previous two overpriced and very noisy Sony Vaios I purchased. Overall
