This review is from: ASUS N61JQ-A1 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown) (Personal Computers)
I bought mine from newegg.ca, though the model is the N61JQ-X1, which has the same specs besides a smaller 320GB 7200rpm HD and only a 1 year Global warranty vs 2years for the -A models.
It is an incredibly powerful laptop with a blazing fast quad core i7-720QM processor that supports hyper-threading, giving it up to eight virtual cores. This processor is a beast for multi-threaded application but it's no slouch when it comes to single threaded processes because it can automatically overclock two cores to 2.4GHz or one core up to 2.8GHz, depending on what you're running. This laptop has other cutting-edge features such as a 1GB DirectX 11 capable ATI Mobility Radeon 5730, and being the first laptop to possess USB 3.0, a super bright 16" LED backlit screen with a smooth surface - the edges don't stick out.
Other features are an HDMI output, Expressport, eSata, Bluetooth, wireless 802.11 B/G/N, Multi-card reader, Altec Lansing SRS surround sound which actually sounds...

I have had this laptop for about 2 weeks. It starts up quickly and the i7 processor is amazing for multitasking.
I like the chicklet style keyboard in general but find the directional arrows to be a bit cramped. They are very close to the number pad so it can be difficult to find the arrow keys in low lighting.

Great Laptop for the Price, Jun 9 2010

This review is from: ASUS N61JQ-A1 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown) (Personal Computers)
I purchased this laptop to add to my families present computer number as well as play some of the more current resource taxing games. I like everything about this computer except the extreme heat the exhaust port generates and the ease at which the shiny exterior surface picks up fingerprints; minor details in my opinion. The video card does excellent job for modern games and laptop looks well laid out in all aspects. I am sure I have not began to unlock all that this laptop can offer. Well worth the money spent and highly recommended for average to medium gamers and those wanting a step or two above average big box store deal of the week.
