I do warn you though, the speakers suck. For a laptop they are good I suppose but I dont use them, I use a different set.

I also love the facial recognition access. If you have any questions about it, I can help you out.
I've definitely narrowed down to asus. the only english keyboard, chicklet keys, and build quality and warranty make it a no brainer for me.

Good choice, I love mine. Performance is amazing on it, and it looks great, feels great. I get comments about it everywhere I use it, lol.

ok CP can I get help making a final verdict? This laptop I've been tracking is now on sale for 700 bucks. It has a beautiful screen with no pixelation, has the features I want and doesn't come with a vid card (not a problem). 700 bucks for this product, whats the opinion?

If you're willing to go with a 15 inch screen, this is a better deal than that Asus

$600 and you get an decent GPU
