The N61JQ-X1, simply put, is a great laptop...
Pros:
Blazing speed - and this only w/ 4 gig of RAM... (granted, I'm leaving an early core duo, so... it's more Honda to Porsche, not Porsche to Ferrari).
Windows 7, 64 bit (I put the bar on the left, and it changes the game...)
Great screen
Great graphics card (high 2nd tier, but I'm not a gamer, so who cares... and directv plays great on it (just got whole home from them, and it streams my dvr).
very good sound (although I don't use it much)
NUMBER KEYPAD!!! I used to hate typing numbers on laptops - no more!
HUGE screen - yet fairly light
Not very hot- no more burned wrists (although it is quite hot back towards the screen... so watch your laps!!!)
and... last... but not least!!!!
IT IS CHEAP (for what it is)... I tried to buy it here, but thought about it too long, and missed the half a C-note under a G, but was still in time for the end of cashback from MS - I sure will miss that program.
Cons:
ASUS bloatware - easily remedied
awkward placement of power plug - I like laying the laptop down on it's side - and this doesn't allow me to.
as others have noted - it will be covered with fingerprints... again- who cares.
Wireless N is single band (only 2.4, no 5ghz)
All in all - I could not be more pleased...
Granted - it's only a week in, so much left to see, but overall, I don't regret leaving my many year long, abusive relationship with D@ll... oddly enough - rhymes with h@ll! If only my work would change too!!!
