It feels very high quality and I love the keystroke. While the backlight is not the best, but still present.
I can not say much, I have the same replaced with a crutial CT480M500 and keep it running nice and quiet and fast on the HDD.
In the 8 GB RAM are installed Version 2 x 4 GB bar.
The touchpad I use hardly (prefer mouse), but it feels good (the MSI was terrible high ten).
Cooling I find particularly successful. If I get in involved in it, the heat goes away to the rear. Many gaming notebook (which goes both keyboard and the air there away) on the left side extremely hot. Not so with the Asus. Just above the keyboard can be quite "burn" if you drauftatscht. But since there are no keys, there is no reason there should long :)
I play regularly LoL at the computer and have found that the program "Power4Gear Hybrid Utility" from Asus makes sure that in between repeatedly FPS dips are available, even if all the settings are at maximum. If I uninstall the program, I have not the problem.
The display is great. Again, compared to the MSI much more luminous.
Half a point deduction that the sound is so really unfolded only via an external (supplied) Subwoofer.
For me, a strong buy recommendation at a fair price (have searched long and compared).
