ASUS Republic Of Gamers G51JX-X3 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop (Blue)

ASUS Republic Of Gamers G51JX-X3 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop (Blue)

Very happy with it

I echo the positive feedback given by the other reviewers, but can add these notes:

I don't think you can use this without a cooling pad. People are not kidding when they say it gets HOT...the exhaust air burns your skin to the point that you have to put something between it and your lap. I do look forward to this feature in the winter, as it'll help warm the room. Since it's wider than my other LTs, I'm going to buy a wider cooler to make balancing it easier, but the smaller $10 Targus one I bought at Staples cools it just fine...you don't need turbo charged fans, but you do need some kind of fan.

The face recognition software is really nice, and makes for part of the fastest start-up I've ever seen.

It takes 6 DVDs to make the boot disc, and took me 3 hours.

I don't have any problem with the reflective glare from the screen that others have mentioned.

The speakers sound good for laptop speakers.

The blue lights & cover art look attractive to me...this is a nice looking laptop. I know others have mentioned it looking out of place at work, but it looks very interesting anywhere else.

I paid 1K for it from Amazon, and 3 weeks later, still think I got a great deal.

Buying ASUS Republic Of Gamers G51JX-X3 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop (Blue)

BSOD

I like the computer except that I get the Blue Screen of Death anywhere from once a day to several times per hour when just doing normal, light duty things, not playing games. Am exchanging the unit for another one. Hopefully it was this unit only and not a problem this model has.
