I also find their products to have ridiculously high specs for the price.
Here's one from MemEx:

i7, decent graphics chip, 500GB, USB 3.0, 1366x768 screen, 6GB RAM - all for $1169. It's a bit on the high end, but bang for buck + future proofing, I would say this is second to none. Consider that I play SC2 on my 3 year old Asus Laptop that cost me $1000. They build their products and spec them so that they last for a long time. |
This is a top notch laptop. Excellent value for the price.
My Asus M50 which was the predecessor to the N series was around the same price and just over two years later the average laptop still hasn't caught up to it in terms of hardware. Asus' support is top notch as well. I needed the screen replaced last year so I used their accidental damage coverage(which is free with the laptop from that Memory Express link btw). They fixed the screen, and after seeing that my e-sata port didn't work(unknown to me when I sent it in) they replaced the motherboard. The laptop was picked up on Monday and back in my arms by Friday. I'd like to see Dell do that for free...
I can't believe people still deal with crap service and overpriced laptops from Dell and HP when companies like Asus and MSI are much better at everything
