Asus N551JQ

The gaming potential was great before the errors started happening.

Literally less than 5 months after I bought this laptop I started getting the Blue screen of death errors telling me "ERR_Driver_Power_State_Failure". Now it happens every day and it has cost me TIME and MONEY. I've lost school reports, essays, and...

Fairly fast and plenty of hard drive space

After four months of use Windows started giving me hard drive errors. Running check disk and rebuilding Windows 8.1 didn't work. I requested a new hard drive via support but they want the whole laptop to be RMA. The laptop isn't a hard item to replace....

Fast i-7 processor 4110HQ (On high-performance power mode, jumps the clock to 3.4GHz.) Video card is pretty good, plays most new games still at med-high settings. 8GB ram -- all I need for now. 7200 RPM hard-drive Cool keyboard with lights. All silver....

Power button next to PGDN key is annoying. None

It's a fast machine. For compiles of 18,000 lines of C++, it's about 10-15% faster than a desktop 3.1 GHz Sandybridge Core i5. I like the feel of the keyboard. The touchpad is passable, but I resort to using an external mouse. Screen is nice for my...

Came installed with Windows 8-something. Immediately ditched that for a SSD and installed Linux. However, it's not well-supported under Linux. Asus should really provide support for such things as the function keys (screen brightness, especially), and...

-Can play Starcraft on High with 60 FPS -Works great for school -i7 Processor

-If I had more money i'd buy a laptop with a better video card -Windows 8.1 (Upgraded to Windows 10)

None.

Update: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS LAPTOP. I am having constant driver power state BSODs. I updated my Nvidia driver as was required to play a new game. I'm now having constant crashes from the two graphics cards trying to hand off graphics duties to each...

2 gig dedicated GPU RAM NVIDIA Lit keyboard On-board Intel graphics 4600 subwoofer surround sound system sleek appearance

Graphics drivers are from 2014 and no update from ASUS. AND they don't let you update them easily- you have to work around a block to install Intel's latest. The NVIDIA drivers update easily, but are horrible. The update for the 845m to run Star Wars...

- The graphics for gaming was good for the price. Not spectacular but it got the average gaming experience done. It was better than my last laptop so I am happy with it. - The keyboard is fantastic. The back lit keyboard is a great plus. I don't...

- The mouse pad was unresponsive 60% of the time. On of the worst experiences I have had with one thus far. - The IPS Panel was a complete lie. The picture quality was absolutely dreadful as the colors were washed out and viewing angles were nowhere...

I like the spec's, everything except the spec's for the Panel

I wish the keyboard key colors were black.

Upgraded from an older laptop that wasn't able to record 1920x1080 resolution gameplay from elgato or HDPVR2. Now I'm able to record higher resolution gameplay.

Combo audio I/O jack does not recognize or pick up on audio from external mic when plugged in. When plugged in, it only recognizes it as an audio out device. Older slower laptop had a dedicated mic in jack that worked just fine for the past 3 years...
