ASUS FZ50VW-NS51

Works well with Arch Linux. Hybrid graphics works well with bumblebee (with one caveat in the cons section). Most importantly, I can switch ttys and use modesetting because these are all handled by the integrated graphics rather than the nvidia binary...

Ideally, you'd be able to turn off the GPU entirely when not using it to save power by using bumblebee to call bbswitch. Using bbswitch, I've only experienced system freezes that require a hard reboot. bbswitch hasn't been updated in years, so I...

-OS is installed on a 128 GB M.2 SATA SSD so it loads extremely fast (see Cons). -Red Backlit keyboard looks nice and automatically turns off when not in use -Speakers are alright, not the best but certainly better than most laptops I've used -Plays...

-128 GB M.2 SATA SSD only has a sequential write of 140 MB/s while the standard is 500-550. -1TB HDD is 5400 RPM so it WILL cause a bottleneck in games that have to load a lot. -Screen viewing angle is pretty bad, have to be looking straight at it....

Bought this for my wife, who runs numerous graphics programs at the same time. This computer keeps up with everything she can throw at it. In fact she tells me that its so fast, it seems like it acts before she can even hit the buttons.

None. not one

Discreet graphics, comes with both SSD and HDD, wireless a/c, super-nice access panel for RAM and hard drive upgrades, price, fully 1080p panel

ABYSMAL integrated sound, poor viewing angles on the screen, low-rent SSD, single-channel RAM in a gaming laptop? Seriously?

Super lightweight and thin to be so powerful, didn't come with too much bloatware and it's easy to get rid of if you dont want it. battery life is pretty good

wish it came with a higher capacity battery anyway but its nice to keep it light

I should preface that I never write product reviews. But... a good laptop is so hard to find and I want to put a good word in for this one. I was looking a gaming laptop with a decent dedicated Nvidia card, (No AMD) an SSD, and a 1080 anti-glare...

The speakers are awful. They're pretty low volume and the quality isn't anything to write home about. If you're a gamer or have a serious computer mind, though, anything of great importance will be run on some decent headphones.

Good graphics but at low lever

Wont keep up with games,when plug to wall and fully charge ,games drain the battery faster than it can recharge.bad buy again.

ASUS - need I say more? Perfect "Mobile" option for when I'm not at my beast desktop. Dedicated semi-high end graphics (this isnt running your games on Intels "Graphics" processor. 2 Gig VDDR5 memory helps a lot - 4 would be better, but that is extra...

Virtual Memory set up on the SSD - Premature Wear, move it to mechanical disk if you like your system running for a while. -not really a con, I am just AN*L and probably old school as SSDs are living much longer these days, you know what they say about...

Excellent specs and price, great for entry level gamers like myself who just want to play games and edit videos ect.

Windows 10, duh. If you want to try to downgrade or install another OS, I wish you the best of luck. I have never had so much trouble installing Windows 7 on a laptop ever until this one. My laptops Ssd failed my first day of owning it. I'm now sending...

- Price - Performance - Backlit Keyboard - 960M - Decent screen - Build Quality - DDR4 - Plays most modern games at least medium to high settings - More than enough power for daily work

- None, see Other
