I bought this computer because I am a budding photographer and casual gamer. I could not think how much computer I got for the cost. I bought the computer 2/1/2011 and it arrived two days later. The first thing I attempted to do was generate the recovery discs only to find out the computer would not burn dvd's. I had called Asus before making the acquisition to make definite the blu ray combo drive would burn dvds and i was assured that it would. Asus created a RMA and I send them the machine and received it back ten days later only to find the same issue. I called and got another RMA and sent it to a different location and received a machine ten days later that would burn dvd's.

Then I revealed about the sandy bridge recall. I opted for the advanced replacement so I could keep my machine while they sent me a brand spanking new but the new machine I received would not burn dvd's. So now I have another RMA and hopefully they get the issue fixed on their first try this time.

While I had a fully functional machine I absolutely loved it. It is blazing fast and whisper calm. My sister has the earlier years version of the Asus ROG and it sounds like it is going to exploded while playing W.O.W. Everytime I have spoken with Asus customer support it's been a pleasant experience and the turn around on the repairs has been fast. Its an awesome machine but a frustrating experience.
